Script

I have a foreign key. I want to script how to create it without using
the management studio i.e. from the query analyser in SQL 2005. Is
there a system stored procedure or something that does this for you.
thanks for your help
NewishNo, you will have to build it like
exec ('alter table [' + @.table + '] drop constraint [' + @.constraint + ']')

USE AdventureWorks ;
GO
CREATE TABLE Person.ContactBackup
(ContactID int) ;
GO
ALTER TABLE Person.ContactBackup
ADD CONSTRAINT FK_ContactBacup_Contact FOREIGN KEY (ContactID)
REFERENCES Person.Contact (ContactID) ;
ALTER TABLE Person.ContactBackup
DROP CONSTRAINT FK_ContactBacup_Contact ;
GO
DROP TABLE Person.ContactBackup ;
If you want to get the syntax 'for free' you can create the FK in EM and
rather than actually save the change, simply take a look at the script that
is generated. Cheers, Paul Ibison SQL Server MVP,
