Thanks for your feedback. I was already aware of how to find the constrains via EntMan, but what I really need is a way to programmatically query and return, via SQL, which tables have foreign keys, or check constraints, or triggers, etc.

Since I posted my original question, I’ve done some digging and think I’ve made some progress. Here’s my SQL:

SELECT * FROM sysobjects
WHERE ((parent_obj != ’0′) AND ((xtype = ‘C’) OR (xtype = ‘D’) OR (xtype = ‘F’) OR (xtype = ‘IF’) OR (xtype = ‘TF’) OR (xtype = ‘TR’) OR (xtype = ‘UQ’)))
ORDER BY parent_obj

I found that the parent_obj field of a dependancy object is the table ID, in sysobjects, of the parent table (duh).

I think all I have to do now is massage the results from this query and base/match the results to the list of selected tables returned by the previous query (see my original post).

I know that I can also do a subquery and combine the two, but I need to have the list of tables separate for reporting purposes (how many tables were affected, records modified per table, etc.).

If and when I figure this out, I will post a follow-up, but don’t hold your breath.
