下面是我将使用的SQL代码。

SELECT 
   f.name AS 'Name of Foreign Key',
   OBJECT_NAME(f.parent_object_id) AS 'Table name',
   COL_NAME(fc.parent_object_id,fc.parent_column_id) AS 'Fieldname',
   OBJECT_NAME(t.object_id) AS 'References Table name',
   COL_NAME(t.object_id,fc.referenced_column_id) AS 'References fieldname',

   'ALTER TABLE [' + OBJECT_NAME(f.parent_object_id) + ']  DROP CONSTRAINT [' + f.name + ']' AS 'Delete foreign key',

   'ALTER TABLE [' + OBJECT_NAME(f.parent_object_id) + ']  WITH NOCHECK ADD CONSTRAINT [' + 
        f.name + '] FOREIGN KEY([' + COL_NAME(fc.parent_object_id,fc.parent_column_id) + ']) REFERENCES ' + 
        '[' + OBJECT_NAME(t.object_id) + '] ([' +
        COL_NAME(t.object_id,fc.referenced_column_id) + '])' AS 'Create foreign key'
    -- , delete_referential_action_desc AS 'UsesCascadeDelete'
FROM sys.foreign_keys AS f,
     sys.foreign_key_columns AS fc,
     sys.tables t 
WHERE f.OBJECT_ID = fc.constraint_object_id
AND t.OBJECT_ID = fc.referenced_object_id
AND OBJECT_NAME(t.object_id) = 'Employees'      --  Just show the FKs which reference a particular table
ORDER BY 2

这不是特别清晰的SQL，所以让我们看一个例子。

所以，假设我想删除Microsoft心爱的Northwind数据库中的Employees表，但是SQL Server告诉我一个或多个外键阻止我这样做。

上面的SQL命令将返回这些结果…

它显示有3个外键引用雇员表。换句话说，除非先删除这三个外键，否则不允许删除(删除)这个表。

在结果中，第一行是以下外键约束在结果中的显示方式。

ALTER TABLE [dbo].[Employees]  WITH NOCHECK 
ADD CONSTRAINT [FK_Employees_Employees] FOREIGN KEY([ReportsTo])
REFERENCES [dbo].[Employees] ([EmployeeID])

倒数第二列显示了我需要使用的SQL命令来删除这些外键之一，例如:

ALTER TABLE [Employees] DROP CONSTRAINT [FK_Employees_Employees]

.．.右边一列显示了创建它的SQL…

ALTER TABLE [Employees] WITH NOCHECK 
ADD CONSTRAINT [FK_Employees_Employees] 
FOREIGN KEY([ReportsTo]) REFERENCES [Employees] ([EmployeeID])

使用所有这些命令，您就拥有了删除相关外键所需的一切，从而可以删除表，然后再重新创建它们。

唷。希望这能有所帮助。

最初的问题要求将所有外键的列表放入一个高度引用的表中，以便可以删除表。

这个小查询返回将所有外键放入特定表所需的“drop foreign key”命令:

SELECT 
   'ALTER TABLE ['+sch.name+'].['+referencingTable.Name+'] DROP CONSTRAINT ['+foreignKey.name+']' '[DropCommand]'
FROM sys.foreign_key_columns fk
    JOIN sys.tables referencingTable ON fk.parent_object_id = referencingTable.object_id
    JOIN sys.schemas sch ON referencingTable.schema_id = sch.schema_id
    JOIN sys.objects foreignKey ON foreignKey.object_id = fk.constraint_object_id
    JOIN sys.tables referencedTable ON fk.referenced_object_id = referencedTable.object_id
WHERE referencedTable.name = 'MyTableName'

示例输出:

[DropCommand]
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[OtherTable1] DROP CONSTRAINT [FK_OtherTable1_MyTable]
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[OtherTable2] DROP CONSTRAINT [FK_OtherTable2_MyTable]

省略where -子句以获取当前数据库中所有外键的删除命令。

我将使用SQL Server Management Studio中的数据库图表功能，但既然你排除了它-这在SQL Server 2008中为我工作(没有2005)。

获取引用表和列名的列表…

select 
    t.name as TableWithForeignKey, 
    fk.constraint_column_id as FK_PartNo, c.
    name as ForeignKeyColumn 
from 
    sys.foreign_key_columns as fk
inner join 
    sys.tables as t on fk.parent_object_id = t.object_id
inner join 
    sys.columns as c on fk.parent_object_id = c.object_id and fk.parent_column_id = c.column_id
where 
    fk.referenced_object_id = (select object_id 
                               from sys.tables 
                               where name = 'TableOthersForeignKeyInto')
order by 
    TableWithForeignKey, FK_PartNo

获取外键约束的名称

select distinct name from sys.objects where object_id in 
(   select fk.constraint_object_id from sys.foreign_key_columns as fk
    where fk.referenced_object_id = 
        (select object_id from sys.tables where name = 'TableOthersForeignKeyInto')
)

 SELECT OBJECT_NAME(fk.parent_object_id) as ReferencingTable, 
        OBJECT_NAME(fk.constraint_object_id) as [FKContraint]
  FROM sys.foreign_key_columns as fk
 WHERE fk.referenced_object_id = OBJECT_ID('ReferencedTable', 'U')

这只显示了外键约束的关系。我的数据库显然早于FK约束。一些表使用触发器来强制引用完整性，有时除了一个类似命名的列来指示关系之外什么都没有(根本没有引用完整性)。

幸运的是，我们有一个一致的命名场景，所以我能够找到引用表 观点是这样的:

SELECT OBJECT_NAME(object_id) from sys.columns where name like 'client_id'

我使用这个选择作为生成一个脚本的基础，做我需要做的事情 相关的表格。

不知道为什么没有人建议，但我使用sp_fkeys查询给定表的外键:

EXEC sp_fkeys 'TableName'

你也可以指定模式:

EXEC sp_fkeys @pktable_name = 'TableName', @pktable_owner = 'dbo'

在没有指定模式的情况下，文档声明如下:

如果没有指定pktable_owner，则默认表可见性规则 的基础DBMS应用程序。 在SQL Server中，如果当前用户拥有一个具有指定 Name，返回该表的列。如果pktable_owner不是 且当前用户不拥有具有指定属性的表 Pktable_name时，该过程查找具有指定 由数据库所有者拥有的Pktable_name。如果存在，那张桌子就是 返回列。

SQL Server中所有引用给定表的外键列表:

您可以通过以下查询获得引用表名和列名…

SELECT 
   OBJECT_NAME(f.parent_object_id) TableName,
   COL_NAME(fc.parent_object_id,fc.parent_column_id) ColName
FROM 
   sys.foreign_keys AS f
INNER JOIN 
   sys.foreign_key_columns AS fc 
      ON f.OBJECT_ID = fc.constraint_object_id
INNER JOIN 
   sys.tables t 
      ON t.OBJECT_ID = fc.referenced_object_id
WHERE 
   OBJECT_NAME (f.referenced_object_id) = 'TableName'

下面的截图让你理解…
