SQL Server table relationships query

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 5

I have a requirement to update values in a number of tables supporting the NAV application. However without any formal foreign key relationships at the database level, I'm struggling to determine the child tables which also need to be updated at the same time. I've seen postings where this information can be obtained through the application but since that information must be stored somewhere in the database, is there a way to obtain the mapping programmatically? I don't need anything clever simply:

  • parent table, parent column, child table, child column
  • parent table, parent column, child table, child column_1
  • etc.

Is there a query available to obtain this information?

Many thanks.

    Hello  - We currently do not have dedicated Dev support via the Dynamics 365 Business Central forums, but I wanted to provide you some additional resources to assist.  If you need assistance with debugging or coding I would recommend discussing this on one of our communities.

    I will open this up to the community in case they have something to add.
