Question

database management program: microsoft sql server management studio

I was tasked to study a table,TableA, that has a column empnum, which serves both as primary key and foreign key. i want to change the contents of empnum but seeing as it has the Enforce Foreign Key Constraint set to yes, i’m guessing i would have to

1. turn the option off before i can proceed to edit empnum
2. find the other table referenced by empnum and change that too

My problem is that i do not know how to find the tables (and columns) related to empnum.
I would appreciate your help. thanks!

Answer 1

This will show you your table’s constraints.

sp_helpconstraint('your_table_name')
