I need to find out which table (name) a particular constraint belongs to.
Does anyone have any TSQL to achieve this?

many things could be considered to be a constraint:
primary key
foreign key
unique index
check constraint
column default
your question is a little vague. Do you know the name of the constraint, the type, etc.?
Based on the limited info in your question. I suggest that you look at the source code to the master.sys.sp_helpconstraint stored procedure.
In Sql Server Management Studio, using the Object Explorer, ust navigate to: “Databases” – “System Databases” – “master” – “Programmability” – “Stored Procedures” – “System Stored Procedures” – “sys.sp_helpconstraint”. It contains all the tsql to query all the various kinds of constraints.
