EnumReferencedTables Method

This feature will be removed in a future version of Microsoft SQL Server. Avoid using this feature in new development work, and plan to modify applications that currently use this feature.

The EnumReferencedTables method returns a QueryResults object that enumerates tables on which a PRIMARY KEY or UNIQUE constraint is defined.

Syntax

object
.EnumReferencedTables( [ IncludeAll ] ) as QueryResults

Parts

• object
  Expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list

• IncludeAll
  TRUE or FALSE

Prototype (C/C++)

HRESULT EnumReferencedTables(
LPSQLDMOQUERYRESULTS* ppResults,
BOOL IncludeAllCandidates = NULL);

Returns

A QueryResults object that contains one result set defined by these columns.

Column	Data type	Description
candidate_key	nvarchar(129)	Not applicable. Contains the string N/A.
candidate_table	nvarchar(262)	Name of the table on which the PRIMARY KEY or UNIQUE constraint is defined.
referenced	bit	When 1, the table referenced by the Table object used depends on the result-set listed table in a FOREIGN KEY relationship.

Remarks

When IncludeAll is TRUE, the result set enumerates all tables on which PRIMARY KEY and UNIQUE constraints are defined. The value of the referenced column in the result set determines table object dependency on the table listed in the result set.

When IncludeAll is FALSE (default), the result set enumerates only those tables that contain PRIMARY KEY or UNIQUE constraints and on which the referenced table depends.
