How can I list all foreign keys referencing a given table in SQL Server?

I need to remove a highly referenced table in a SQL Server database. How can I get a list of all the foreign key constraints I will need to remove in order to drop the table?

(SQL answers preferable over clicking about in the GUI of the management studio.)

See How to Script Out all The Foreign Keys of a Table for help. Update: Link no longer available but the relevant SQL was copied as an answer to a related question. You can also view dependencies through the GUI.

Not sure why no one suggested but I use sp_fkeys to query foreign keys for a given table:

EXEC sp_fkeys 'TableName'

You can also specify the schema:

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

Without specifying the schema, the docs state the following:

If pktable_owner is not specified, the default table visibility rules of the underlying DBMS apply. In SQL Server, if the current user owns a table with the specified name, that table's columns are returned. If pktable_owner is not specified and the current user does not own a table with the specified pktable_name, the procedure looks for a table with the specified pktable_name owned by the database owner. If one exists, that table's columns are returned.


This isn't working for me on a sql 2008 database for some reason. sp_help shows the relations, but this command will not.
@tbone: I had the same issue, which was related to not fully specifying the parameters. Given table T, owned by O, in database D you need to execute EXEC sp_fkeys \@pktable_name='T', \@pktable_owner='O', \@pktable_qualifier='D' Try looking at the output of EXEC sp_tables \@table_name ='T' to figure out what the parameter values should be.
@JustinRusso You can get around this by creating a table, store the result into the table, then select the specific columns. Check out this link for an example :).
Works fine in SSMS 2014. Thanks.
It has already been answered in above comments: but just for clarity - EXEC sp_fkeys @pktable_name = N'Department' ,@pktable_owner = N'dbo'; msdn.microsoft.com/en-NZ/library/ms175090.aspx

This gives you:

The FK itself itself

Schema that the FK belongs to

The "referencing table" or the table that has the FK

The "referencing column" or the column inside referencing table that points to the FK

The "referenced table" or the table that has the key column that your FK is pointing to

The "referenced column" or the column that is the key that your FK is pointing to

Code below:

SELECT  obj.name AS FK_NAME,
    sch.name AS [schema_name],
    tab1.name AS [table],
    col1.name AS [column],
    tab2.name AS [referenced_table],
    col2.name AS [referenced_column]
FROM sys.foreign_key_columns fkc
INNER JOIN sys.objects obj
    ON obj.object_id = fkc.constraint_object_id
INNER JOIN sys.tables tab1
    ON tab1.object_id = fkc.parent_object_id
INNER JOIN sys.schemas sch
    ON tab1.schema_id = sch.schema_id
INNER JOIN sys.columns col1
    ON col1.column_id = parent_column_id AND col1.object_id = tab1.object_id
INNER JOIN sys.tables tab2
    ON tab2.object_id = fkc.referenced_object_id
INNER JOIN sys.columns col2
    ON col2.column_id = referenced_column_id AND col2.object_id = tab2.object_id

This is the best answer in my oppinion if you want to filter the results afterwards.
Works great! It'd be even better if you: a) prefix all Column Names with "Fk" / "Key"), b) suffix all Column Names with "Name", c) remove underscores, d) add KeyTableSchemaName, e) add default order by: KeyTableSchemaName, KeyTableName, KeyColumnName, FkTableSchemaName, FkTableName, FkName, and f) change Column order to: KeyTableSchemaName, KeyTableName, KeyColumnName, FkTableSchemaName, FkTableName, FkName, FkColumnName, a/b/c/d for consistency / most common Best Practice naming conventions and d/e for the most likely usage (listing FK dependents of a Table).
Such a great answer and useful query. Thank you
This query works best if you don't have any multi-column foreign keys.
This should be the accepted answer, not all FK scenarios are covered by the other answers

I'd use the Database Diagramming feature in SQL Server Management Studio, but since you ruled that out - this worked for me in SQL Server 2008 (don't have 2005).

To get list of referring table and column names...

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

To get names of foreign key constraints

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')
)

great, though used referenced_object_id instead of parent. 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 = 'tablename') )
You can get the name of FK by adding "object_name(constraint_object_id)" to the first query's select.
You can get object id object_id('TableOthersForeignKeyInto')

Try this :

sp_help 'TableName'

Nice helper method to know if you are exploring your db manually. Also, it works on Azure SQL Server .

You should also mind the references to other objects.

If the table was highly referenced by other tables than it’s probably also highly referenced by other objects such as views, stored procedures, functions and more.

I’d really recommend GUI tool such as ‘view dependencies’ dialog in SSMS or free tool like ApexSQL Search for this because searching for dependencies in other objects can be error prone if you want to do it only with SQL.

If SQL is the only option you could try doing it like this.

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%'

The original question asked to get a list of all foreign keys into a highly referenced table so that the table can be removed.

This little query returns all the 'drop foreign key' commands needed to drop all foreign keys into a particular table:

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'

Example output:

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

Omit the WHERE-clause to get the drop commands for all foreign keys in the current database.


Can you add some explanation for what this is supposed to be doing / how it is supposed to work?

Here's the SQL code I would use.

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

It's not particularly clear SQL, so let's look at an example.

So, supposing I wanted to drop the Employees table in Microsoft's beloved Northwind database, but SQL Server told me that one or more Foreign Keys were preventing me from doing this.

The SQL command above would return these results...

https://i.stack.imgur.com/qDHxZ.png

It shows me that there are 3 Foreign Keys which reference the Employees table. In other words, I wouldn't be allowed to delete (drop) this table until these three Foreign Keys are first deleted.

In the results, the first row is how the following Foreign Key constraint would be shown in the results.

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

The second-to-last column shows the SQL command I would need to use to delete one of these Foreign Keys, eg:

ALTER TABLE [Employees] DROP CONSTRAINT [FK_Employees_Employees]

...and the right-hand column shows the SQL to create it...

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

With all of these commands, you have everything you need to delete the relevant Foreign Keys to allow you to delete a table, then recreate them later.

Phew. Hope this helps.


It would be clearer if you used inner join and on clauses instead of cross joins. But this was helpful non-the-less!

The most Simplest one is by using sys.foreign_keys_columns in SQL. Here the table contains the Object ids of all the foreign keys wrt their Referenced column ID Referenced Table ID as well as the Referencing Columns and Tables. As the Id's remains constant the result will be reliable for further modifications in Schema as well as tables.

Query:

SELECT    
OBJECT_NAME(fkeys.constraint_object_id) foreign_key_name
,OBJECT_NAME(fkeys.parent_object_id) referencing_table_name
,COL_NAME(fkeys.parent_object_id, fkeys.parent_column_id) referencing_column_name
,OBJECT_SCHEMA_NAME(fkeys.parent_object_id) referencing_schema_name
,OBJECT_NAME (fkeys.referenced_object_id) referenced_table_name
,COL_NAME(fkeys.referenced_object_id, fkeys.referenced_column_id) 
referenced_column_name
,OBJECT_SCHEMA_NAME(fkeys.referenced_object_id) referenced_schema_name
FROM sys.foreign_key_columns AS fkeys

We can also add filter by using 'where'

WHERE OBJECT_NAME(fkeys.parent_object_id) = 'table_name' AND 
OBJECT_SCHEMA_NAME(fkeys.parent_object_id) = 'schema_name'

This is excellent for when you need to remove whole DB constructs / sets of referenced tables.

I am using this script to find all details related to foreign key. I am using INFORMATION.SCHEMA. Below is a SQL Script:

SELECT 
    ccu.table_name AS SourceTable
    ,ccu.constraint_name AS SourceConstraint
    ,ccu.column_name AS SourceColumn
    ,kcu.table_name AS TargetTable
    ,kcu.column_name AS TargetColumn
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.CONSTRAINT_COLUMN_USAGE ccu
    INNER JOIN INFORMATION_SCHEMA.REFERENTIAL_CONSTRAINTS rc
        ON ccu.CONSTRAINT_NAME = rc.CONSTRAINT_NAME 
    INNER JOIN INFORMATION_SCHEMA.KEY_COLUMN_USAGE kcu 
        ON kcu.CONSTRAINT_NAME = rc.UNIQUE_CONSTRAINT_NAME  
ORDER BY ccu.table_name

List of all foreign keys referencing a given table in SQL Server :

You can get the referencing table name and column name through following query...

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'

And following screenshot for your understanding...

Some good answers above. But I prefer to have the answer with one query. This piece of code is taken from sys.sp_helpconstraint (sys proc)

That's the way Microsoft looks up if there are foreign keys associated to the tbl.

--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

The answer will look like this: test_db_name.dbo.Account: FK_Account_Customer


This is actually like 4 separate query statements... this does effectively the same thing in one statement: select db_name() + '.' + schema_name(ObjectProperty(parent_object_id,'schemaid')) + '.' + object_name(parent_object_id) + ': ' + object_name(object_id) AS "FK Reference" from sys.foreign_keys where referenced_object_id = object_id('Customer')

 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')

This only shows the relationship if the are foreign key constraints. My database apparently predates the FK constraint.Some table use triggers to enforce referential integrity, and sometimes there's nothing but a similarly named column to indicate the relationship (and no referential integrity at all).

Fortunately, we do have a consistent naming scene so I am able to find referencing tables and views like this:

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

I used this select as the basis for generating a script the does what I need to do on the related tables.


V
Veer
SELECT
OBJECT_NAME(parent_object_id) 'Parent table',

      AND fkc.referenced_object_id = cref.object_id  where   OBJECT_NAME(parent_object_id) = 'tablename'

Working off of what @Gishu did I was able to produce and use the following SQL in SQL Server 2005

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;

Which Displays the tables, columns and Foreign Key names all in 1 query.

This contains too much information for the question asked. Could you include some explanation (and remove the extra code) to just answer the question, please? You posted this exact answer to two different questions, and each one only needs part of this answer.
I edited the answer - Determine primary keys and unique keys for all tables in a database... I think here the answer is appropriate , because the question is for all references.

I have been using this on 2008 and up. It's similar to some other solutions listed but, the field names are proper cased to handle case specific (LatBin) collations. Additionally, you can feed it a single table name and retrieve just the info for that table.

This gets any foreign key that involves the chosen table. *Assumes a _FIRSTABLENAME_SECONDTABLENAME format.

 declare @tablename as varchar(MAX)
 SET @tablename = 'yourtablename'
 SELECT name
 FROM YOURDATABASE.sys.objects
 WHERE type_desc = 'FOREIGN_KEY_CONSTRAINT' and (name LIKE '%_' + @tablename + 'empdb_%' or name LIKE '%_' + @tablename )

This is a more general form:

 SELECT name
 FROM YOURDATABASE_PROD.sys.objects
 WHERE type_desc = 'FOREIGN_KEY_CONSTRAINT' and name LIKE '%' + @tablename + '%' and
 name NOT LIKE '[a-zA-Z0-9]' + @tablename + '%' and name NOT LIKE '%' + @tablename + '[a-zA-Z0-9]'

The following solution work for me:

--Eliminar las llaves foraneas
declare @query varchar(8000)
declare cursorRecorrerTabla cursor for

SELECT  'ALTER TABLE [PoaComFinH].['+sch.name+'].['+referencingTable.Name+'] DROP CONSTRAINT ['+foreignKey.name+']' 'query'

JOIN PoaComFinH.sys.schemas sch ON referencingTable.schema_id = sch.schema_id
JOIN PoaComFinH.sys.objects foreignKey ON foreignKey.object_id = fk.constraint_object_id
JOIN PoaComFinH.sys.tables referencedTable ON fk.referenced_object_id = referencedTable.object_id


--3ro. abrir el cursor.
open cursorRecorrerTabla
fetch next from cursorRecorrerTabla

You can find through below query :

 SELECT OBJECT_NAME (FK.referenced_object_id) 'Referenced Table', 
      OBJECT_NAME(FK.parent_object_id) 'Referring Table', FK.name 'Foreign Key', 
      COL_NAME(FK.referenced_object_id, FKC.referenced_column_id) 'Referenced Column',
      COL_NAME(FK.parent_object_id,FKC.parent_column_id) 'Referring Column'
     FROM sys.foreign_keys AS FK
             INNER JOIN sys.foreign_key_columns AS FKC 
                 ON FKC.constraint_object_id = FK.OBJECT_ID
     WHERE OBJECT_NAME (FK.referenced_object_id) = 'YourTableName'
     AND COL_NAME(FK.referenced_object_id, FKC.referenced_column_id) = 'YourColumnName'
     order by  OBJECT_NAME(FK.parent_object_id)

Also try.

EXEC sp_fkeys 'tableName', 'schemaName'

with sp_fkeys you may filter the result by not only pk table name and schema but also with fk table name and schema. link

This is a very big and juicy SQL. Could you explain on how it works so that we could be able to learn from it?
Thanks to @Simas JoneLiunas for editing my messy texts. I'm working on migration project and need to list up all the column's information including relationg(FK). This script will show you the information on schema level. Modify a little more at the tab_list view for your specific purpose. It would be more simple if I knew the built-in functions on object id earlier :(.

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 is an intrinsic table name in Oracle DB.
