I have a table whose primary key is referenced in several other tables as a foreign key. For example:
CREATE TABLE `X` (
`X_id` int NOT NULL auto_increment,
`name` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`X_id`)
)
CREATE TABLE `Y` (
`Y_id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
`name` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
`X_id` int DEFAULT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`Y_id`),
CONSTRAINT `Y_X` FOREIGN KEY (`X_id`) REFERENCES `X` (`X_id`)
)
CREATE TABLE `Z` (
`Z_id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
`name` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
`X_id` int DEFAULT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`Z_id`),
CONSTRAINT `Z_X` FOREIGN KEY (`X_id`) REFERENCES `X` (`X_id`)
)
Now, I dont know how many tables there are in the database that contain foreign keys into X like tables Y and Z. Is there a SQL query that I can use to return: 1. A list of tables that have foreign keys into X AND 2. which of those tables actually have values in the foreign key
Thanks in advance.

hi,
to list all foreign keys in your database
SELECT OBJECT_NAME(OBJECT_ID) AS NameofConstraint,
SCHEMA_NAME(schema_id) AS SchemaName,
OBJECT_NAME(parent_object_id) AS TableName,
type_desc AS ConstraintType
FROM sys.objects
WHERE type_desc ='FOREIGN_KEY_CONSTRAINT'

SELECT
FK_Table = FK.TABLE_NAME,
FK_Column = CU.COLUMN_NAME,
PK_Table = PK.TABLE_NAME,
PK_Column = PT.COLUMN_NAME,
Constraint_Name = C.CONSTRAINT_NAME
FROM
INFORMATION_SCHEMA.REFERENTIAL_CONSTRAINTS C
INNER JOIN
INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLE_CONSTRAINTS FK
ON C.CONSTRAINT_NAME = FK.CONSTRAINT_NAME

ON C.UNIQUE_CONSTRAINT_NAME = PK.CONSTRAINT_NAME
INNER JOIN

(
SELECT
