SDU Tools: List Primary Key Columns in a SQL Server Database
I’m often checking out what the primary keys are for tables that I’m working on. One of our free SDU Tools for developers and DBAs does just that. it’s ListPrimaryKeyColumns.
You can see how to execute it in the main image above. The procedure takes these parameters:
@DatabaseName sysname - This is the database to process @SchemasToList nvarchar(max) - a comma-delimited list of schemas to include (ie: ‘Sales,Purchasing’) or the word ‘ALL’ @TablesToList nvarchar(max)- a comma-delimited list of tables to include (ie: ‘Customers,Orders’) or the word ‘ALL’
One row is returned for each primary key.
The columns returned are SchemaName, TableName, PrimaryKeyName, NumberOfColumns, ColumnList.
