EnumReferencedKeys Method

The EnumReferencedKeys method returns a QueryResults object that enumerates the PRIMARY KEY and UNIQUE constraints.

Applies To
Table Object
Syntax

object.EnumReferencedKeys( [ ReferencedTable ] , [ IncludeAll ] )
as QueryResults

Parts

object

Expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list.

ReferencedTable

Optional. String that names an existing Microsoft® SQL Server™ 2000 table. Restricts result set membership to list only references to objects defined on the specified table.

IncludeAll

TRUE or FALSE.

Prototype (C/C++)

HRESULT EnumReferencedKeys(
LPSQLDMOQUERYRESULTS* ppResults,
SQLDMO_LPCSTR ReferencedTableName = NULL,
BOOL IncludeAllCandidates = NULL);

Returns

A QueryResults object that contains one result set defined by these columns.

Column Data type Description
candidate_key nvarchar(129) Name of a PRIMARY KEY or UNIQUE constraint
candidate_table nvarchar(262) Name of a table on which a PRIMARY KEY or UNIQUE constraint is defined
referenced bit When 1, the table depends on the PRIMARY KEY or UNIQUE constraint listed in the result set

Remarks

When IncludeAll is TRUE, the result set enumerates all PRIMARY KEY and UNIQUE constraints defined in the database. The value of the result set column referenced determines table object dependency on the listed PRIMARY KEY or UNIQUE constraint.

When IncludeAll is FALSE (default), the result set enumerates only those PRIMARY KEY or UNIQUE constraints on which the table depends.
