通过@Gishu所做的工作，我能够在SQL Server 2005中生成并使用以下SQL

SELECT t.name AS TableWithForeignKey, fk.constraint_column_id AS FK_PartNo, 
       c.name AS ForeignKeyColumn, o.name AS FK_Name 
  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
       INNER JOIN sys.objects AS o ON fk.constraint_object_id = o.object_id
  WHERE fk.referenced_object_id = (SELECT object_id FROM sys.tables 
                                        WHERE name = 'TableOthersForeignKeyInto')
  ORDER BY TableWithForeignKey, FK_PartNo;

在一个查询中显示表，列和外键名称。

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。

您还应该注意对其他对象的引用。

如果表被其他表高度引用，那么它也可能被其他对象(如视图、存储过程、函数等)高度引用。

我真的推荐GUI工具，如SSMS中的“查看依赖关系”对话框或免费工具，如ApexSQL Search，因为如果你只想用SQL来搜索其他对象的依赖关系，可能会出错。

如果SQL是唯一的选择，您可以尝试这样做。

select O.name as [Object_Name], C.text as [Object_Definition]
from sys.syscomments C
inner join sys.all_objects O ON C.id = O.object_id
where C.text like '%table_name%'

上面有一些不错的答案。但我更喜欢一个问题就能得到答案。 这段代码来自sys. .Sp_helpconstraint (sys proc)

这是微软查找是否有与tbl关联的外键的方法。

--setup variables. Just change 'Customer' to tbl you want
declare @objid int,
    @objname nvarchar(776)
select @objname = 'Customer'    
select @objid = object_id(@objname)

if exists (select * from sys.foreign_keys where referenced_object_id = @objid)
    select 'Table is referenced by foreign key' =
        db_name() + '.'
        + rtrim(schema_name(ObjectProperty(parent_object_id,'schemaid')))
        + '.' + object_name(parent_object_id)
        + ': ' + object_name(object_id)
    from sys.foreign_keys 
    where referenced_object_id = @objid 
    order by 1

答案看起来像这样:test_db_name.dbo。账户:FK_Account_Customer

Oracle SQL

select *
from
    all_constraints
where
    r_constraint_name in
    (select       constraint_name
    from
       all_constraints
    where
       table_name='PUT_THE_TABLE_NAME_HERE');

all_constraints是Oracle DB中的一个固有表名。
