How to list foreign key and its reference column in an existing SQL Server query

Anonymous — Sat, 16 Nov 2024 02:51:40 GMT

I am using the following query to list the table constraint,

however, I am having hard time in getting a list of foreign keys and its references (columns).

Can anyone please advise me how I can modified this code so that I could get a list of foreign keys(column) and its references (columns).

**I will need to use this code, so a modified version of this code is much appreciated.

select table_view,
    object_type, 
    constraint_type,
    constraint_name,
    details
from (
    select schema_name(t.schema_id) + '.' + t.[name] as table_view, 
        case when t.[type] = 'U' then 'Table'
            when t.[type] = 'V' then 'View'
            end as [object_type],
        case when c.[type] = 'PK' then 'Primary key'
            when c.[type] = 'UQ' then 'Unique constraint'
            when i.[type] = 1 then 'Unique clustered index'
            when i.type = 2 then 'Unique index'
            end as constraint_type, 
        isnull(c.[name], i.[name]) as constraint_name,
        substring(column_names, 1, len(column_names)-1) as [details]
