Question

I have a table that I would like to find all the other tables that foreign key it. I thought this thread had the answer: How can I list all foreign keys referencing a given table in SQL Server?

But after trying those things, it doesn’t actually list all the tables.

Try something like this:

;WITH ReferencingFK AS 
(
    SELECT 
        fk.Name AS 'FKName',
        OBJECT_NAME(fk.parent_object_id) 'ParentTable',
        cpa.name 'ParentColumnName',
        OBJECT_NAME(fk.referenced_object_id) 'ReferencedTable',
        cref.name 'ReferencedColumnName'
    FROM 
        sys.foreign_keys fk
    INNER JOIN 
        sys.foreign_key_columns fkc ON fkc.constraint_object_id = fk.object_id
    INNER JOIN 
        sys.columns cpa ON fkc.parent_object_id = cpa.object_id AND fkc.parent_column_id = cpa.column_id
    INNER JOIN 
        sys.columns cref ON fkc.referenced_object_id = cref.object_id AND fkc.referenced_column_id = cref.column_id
)
SELECT 
    FKName,
    ParentTable,
    ParentColumnName,
    ReferencedTable,
    ReferencedColumnName
FROM 
    ReferencingFK
WHERE
    ReferencedTable = '**YourTableNameHere**'
ORDER BY 
    ParentTable, ReferencedTable, FKName
