Example query

The following Transact-SQL query retrieves all foreign keys in the database, including their related tables and columns.

SELECT fk.name AS ForeignKeyName
    , t_parent.name AS ParentTableName
    , c_parent.name AS ParentColumnName
    , t_child.name AS ReferencedTableName
    , c_child.name AS ReferencedColumnName
FROM sys.foreign_keys fk 
INNER JOIN sys.foreign_key_columns fkc
    ON fkc.constraint_object_id = fk.object_id
INNER JOIN sys.tables t_parent
    ON t_parent.object_id = fk.parent_object_id
INNER JOIN sys.columns c_parent
    ON fkc.parent_column_id = c_parent.column_id  
    AND c_parent.object_id = t_parent.object_id 
INNER JOIN sys.tables t_child
    ON t_child.object_id = fk.referenced_object_id
INNER JOIN sys.columns c_child
    ON c_child.object_id = t_child.object_id
    AND fkc.referenced_column_id = c_child.column_id
ORDER BY t_parent.name, c_parent.name;
