以下是我认为在SQL Server 2016中处理这种情况的最佳实践。

你必须列出外键使用:

EXEC sp_fkeys 'TableName'

在这里你可以看到fk的全部信息。注意列FKTABLE_NAME, FKCOLUMN_NAME, FK_NAME, UPDATE_RULE, DELETE_RULE是你需要删除外键并在截断后再次实现它们的信息。

你可以组织一个脚本如下:

-- EXEC sp_fkeys 'TableName'

-- DROP CONSTRAINTS: I drop one, here drop every constraint you desire. 
BEGIN TRANSACTION
GO
ALTER TABLE dbo.TableName
    DROP CONSTRAINT IF EXISTS FK_TableName_OtherTable
GO
ALTER TABLE dbo.TableName SET (LOCK_ESCALATION = TABLE)
GO
COMMIT

-- TRUNCATE 
BEGIN TRANSACTION
TRUNCATE TABLE TableName
GO
COMMIT


-- RECREATE CONSTRAINTS: I recreate 1, here recreate every fk you desire
BEGIN TRANSACTION
GO
ALTER TABLE dbo.TableName SET (LOCK_ESCALATION = TABLE)
GO

ALTER TABLE dbo.TableName ADD CONSTRAINT
    FK_TableName_OtherTable FOREIGN KEY
    (
    Id_FK
    ) REFERENCES dbo.OtherTable
    (
    Id
    ) ON UPDATE  NO ACTION 
     ON DELETE  NO ACTION 
GO
COMMIT

** UPDATE_RULE和DELETE_RULE的值可以在sp_fkeys的文档中看到:

 SELECT OBJECT_NAME(fk.parent_object_id) as ReferencingTable, 
        OBJECT_NAME(fk.constraint_object_id) as [FKContraint]
  FROM sys.foreign_key_columns as fk
 WHERE fk.referenced_object_id = OBJECT_ID('ReferencedTable', 'U')

这只显示了外键约束的关系。我的数据库显然早于FK约束。一些表使用触发器来强制引用完整性，有时除了一个类似命名的列来指示关系之外什么都没有(根本没有引用完整性)。

幸运的是，我们有一个一致的命名场景，所以我能够找到引用表 观点是这样的:

SELECT OBJECT_NAME(object_id) from sys.columns where name like 'client_id'

我使用这个选择作为生成一个脚本的基础，做我需要做的事情 相关的表格。

这会给你:

FK本身 FK所属的Schema “引用表”或者有FK的表 “引用列”或引用表中指向FK的列 “引用表”或具有FK指向的键列的表 “引用列”或者是FK指向的键的列

下面的代码:

SELECT  obj.name AS FK_NAME,
    sch.name AS [schema_name],
    tab1.name AS [table],
    col1.name AS [column],
    tab2.name AS [referenced_table],
    col2.name AS [referenced_column]
FROM sys.foreign_key_columns fkc
INNER JOIN sys.objects obj
    ON obj.object_id = fkc.constraint_object_id
INNER JOIN sys.tables tab1
    ON tab1.object_id = fkc.parent_object_id
INNER JOIN sys.schemas sch
    ON tab1.schema_id = sch.schema_id
INNER JOIN sys.columns col1
    ON col1.column_id = parent_column_id AND col1.object_id = tab1.object_id
INNER JOIN sys.tables tab2
    ON tab2.object_id = fkc.referenced_object_id
INNER JOIN sys.columns col2
    ON col2.column_id = referenced_column_id AND col2.object_id = tab2.object_id

下面是我将使用的SQL代码。

SELECT 
   f.name AS 'Name of Foreign Key',
   OBJECT_NAME(f.parent_object_id) AS 'Table name',
   COL_NAME(fc.parent_object_id,fc.parent_column_id) AS 'Fieldname',
   OBJECT_NAME(t.object_id) AS 'References Table name',
   COL_NAME(t.object_id,fc.referenced_column_id) AS 'References fieldname',

   'ALTER TABLE [' + OBJECT_NAME(f.parent_object_id) + ']  DROP CONSTRAINT [' + f.name + ']' AS 'Delete foreign key',

   'ALTER TABLE [' + OBJECT_NAME(f.parent_object_id) + ']  WITH NOCHECK ADD CONSTRAINT [' + 
        f.name + '] FOREIGN KEY([' + COL_NAME(fc.parent_object_id,fc.parent_column_id) + ']) REFERENCES ' + 
        '[' + OBJECT_NAME(t.object_id) + '] ([' +
        COL_NAME(t.object_id,fc.referenced_column_id) + '])' AS 'Create foreign key'
    -- , delete_referential_action_desc AS 'UsesCascadeDelete'
FROM sys.foreign_keys AS f,
     sys.foreign_key_columns AS fc,
     sys.tables t 
WHERE f.OBJECT_ID = fc.constraint_object_id
AND t.OBJECT_ID = fc.referenced_object_id
AND OBJECT_NAME(t.object_id) = 'Employees'      --  Just show the FKs which reference a particular table
ORDER BY 2

这不是特别清晰的SQL，所以让我们看一个例子。

所以，假设我想删除Microsoft心爱的Northwind数据库中的Employees表，但是SQL Server告诉我一个或多个外键阻止我这样做。

上面的SQL命令将返回这些结果…

它显示有3个外键引用雇员表。换句话说，除非先删除这三个外键，否则不允许删除(删除)这个表。

在结果中，第一行是以下外键约束在结果中的显示方式。

ALTER TABLE [dbo].[Employees]  WITH NOCHECK 
ADD CONSTRAINT [FK_Employees_Employees] FOREIGN KEY([ReportsTo])
REFERENCES [dbo].[Employees] ([EmployeeID])

倒数第二列显示了我需要使用的SQL命令来删除这些外键之一，例如:

ALTER TABLE [Employees] DROP CONSTRAINT [FK_Employees_Employees]

.．.右边一列显示了创建它的SQL…

ALTER TABLE [Employees] WITH NOCHECK 
ADD CONSTRAINT [FK_Employees_Employees] 
FOREIGN KEY([ReportsTo]) REFERENCES [Employees] ([EmployeeID])

使用所有这些命令，您就拥有了删除相关外键所需的一切，从而可以删除表，然后再重新创建它们。

唷。希望这能有所帮助。

Mysql服务器有information_schema。REFERENTIAL_CONSTRAINTS表供参考，您可以通过表名或引用表名过滤它。

上面有一些不错的答案。但我更喜欢一个问题就能得到答案。 这段代码来自sys. .Sp_helpconstraint (sys proc)

这是微软查找是否有与tbl关联的外键的方法。

--setup variables. Just change 'Customer' to tbl you want
declare @objid int,
    @objname nvarchar(776)
select @objname = 'Customer'    
select @objid = object_id(@objname)

if exists (select * from sys.foreign_keys where referenced_object_id = @objid)
    select 'Table is referenced by foreign key' =
        db_name() + '.'
        + rtrim(schema_name(ObjectProperty(parent_object_id,'schemaid')))
        + '.' + object_name(parent_object_id)
        + ': ' + object_name(object_id)
    from sys.foreign_keys 
    where referenced_object_id = @objid 
    order by 1

答案看起来像这样:test_db_name.dbo。账户:FK_Account_Customer
