SQL Server - Scripts

This page contains sql scripts to find the MS SQL server metadata. Check INFORMATION_SCHEMA and SYS objects which has metadata catalogs that are available in SQL Server.

• Check foreign key relationship between tables.

SELECT
   OBJECT_NAME(f.parent_object_id) TableName,
   COL_NAME(fc.parent_object_id,fc.parent_column_id) ColName,
   f.name,

INNER JOIN
   sys.tables t
      ON t.OBJECT_ID = fc.referenced_object_id
WHERE

Check table size
