实际上，你应该能够像暂时禁用其他约束一样禁用外键约束:

Alter table MyTable nocheck constraint FK_ForeignKeyConstraintName

只需确保在约束名称中列出的第一个表上禁用了约束。例如，如果我的外键约束是FK_LocationsEmployeesLocationIdEmployeeId，我想使用以下:

Alter table Locations nocheck constraint FK_LocationsEmployeesLocationIdEmployeeId

尽管违反这个约束会产生一个错误，这个错误不一定会将该表作为冲突的来源。

找到约束条件

SELECT * 
FROM sys.foreign_keys
WHERE referenced_object_id = object_id('TABLE_NAME')

执行由此SQL生成的SQL

SELECT 
    'ALTER TABLE ' +  OBJECT_SCHEMA_NAME(parent_object_id) +
    '.[' + OBJECT_NAME(parent_object_id) + 
    '] DROP CONSTRAINT ' + name
FROM sys.foreign_keys
WHERE referenced_object_id = object_id('TABLE_NAME')

注意:增加了删除约束的解决方案，这样可以删除或修改表而没有任何约束错误。

您可以暂时禁用表上的约束，进行工作，然后重新构建它们。

这里有一个简单的方法…

禁用所有索引，包括主键，这将禁用所有外键，然后重新启用主键，以便您可以使用它们…

DECLARE @sql AS NVARCHAR(max)=''
select @sql = @sql +
    'ALTER INDEX ALL ON [' + t.[name] + '] DISABLE;'+CHAR(13)
from  
    sys.tables t
where type='u'

select @sql = @sql +
    'ALTER INDEX ' + i.[name] + ' ON [' + t.[name] + '] REBUILD;'+CHAR(13)
from  
    sys.key_constraints i
join
    sys.tables t on i.parent_object_id=t.object_id
where
    i.type='PK'


exec dbo.sp_executesql @sql;
go

[做一些事情，比如加载数据]

然后重新启用和重建索引……

DECLARE @sql AS NVARCHAR(max)=''
select @sql = @sql +
    'ALTER INDEX ALL ON [' + t.[name] + '] REBUILD;'+CHAR(13)
from  
    sys.tables t
where type='u'

exec dbo.sp_executesql @sql;
go

如果你想禁用数据库中的所有约束，只需运行以下代码:

-- disable all constraints
EXEC sp_MSforeachtable "ALTER TABLE ? NOCHECK CONSTRAINT all"

要将它们重新打开，运行:(打印当然是可选的，它只是列出表)

-- enable all constraints
exec sp_MSforeachtable @command1="print '?'", @command2="ALTER TABLE ? WITH CHECK CHECK CONSTRAINT all"

我发现它在将数据从一个数据库填充到另一个数据库时很有用。这是比放弃约束更好的方法。正如您所提到的，当删除数据库中的所有数据并重新填充它时(例如在测试环境中)，它非常方便。

如果您正在删除所有数据，您可能会发现这个解决方案是有用的。

有时禁用所有触发器也很方便，你可以在这里看到完整的解决方案。

几乎可以肯定，检查是必须的!

在一些回答和评论中提出了这一点，但我认为再次提出这一点非常重要。

使用以下命令(不使用WITH CHECK)重新启用约束会有一些严重的缺陷。

ALTER TABLE MyTable CHECK CONSTRAINT MyConstraint;

WITH CHECK | WITH NOCHECK Specifies whether the data in the table is or is not validated against a newly added or re-enabled FOREIGN KEY or CHECK constraint. If not specified, WITH CHECK is assumed for new constraints, and WITH NOCHECK is assumed for re-enabled constraints. If you do not want to verify new CHECK or FOREIGN KEY constraints against existing data, use WITH NOCHECK. We do not recommend doing this, except in rare cases. The new constraint will be evaluated in all later data updates. Any constraint violations that are suppressed by WITH NOCHECK when the constraint is added may cause future updates to fail if they update rows with data that does not comply with the constraint. The query optimizer does not consider constraints that are defined WITH NOCHECK. Such constraints are ignored until they are re-enabled by using ALTER TABLE table WITH CHECK CHECK CONSTRAINT ALL.

注意:WITH NOCHECK是重新启用约束的默认值。我想知道为什么……

No existing data in the table will be evaluated during the execution of this command - successful completion is no guarantee that the data in the table is valid according to the constraint. During the next update of the invalid records, the constraint will be evaluated and will fail - resulting in errors that may be unrelated to the actual update that is made. Application logic that relies on the constraint to ensure that data is valid may fail. The query optimizer will not make use of any constraint that is enabled in this way.

sys。Foreign_keys系统视图提供了一些问题的可见性。注意，它有一个is_disabled列和一个is_not_trusted列。Is_disabled指示是否根据约束验证未来的数据操作。Is_not_trusted指示表中当前的所有数据是否已经根据约束进行了验证。

ALTER TABLE MyTable WITH CHECK CHECK CONSTRAINT MyConstraint;

你的约束是可信的吗?找出……

SELECT * FROM sys.foreign_keys WHERE is_not_trusted = 1;

SQL-92标准允许将约束声明为DEFERRABLE，以便在事务范围内(隐式或显式)延迟它。遗憾的是，SQL Server仍然缺少这个SQL-92功能。

对我来说，将约束更改为NOCHECK类似于动态更改数据库结构——删除约束当然是这样——这是需要避免的(例如，用户需要增加特权)。
