SQL: List of tables having primary key as DateTime - sql-server

How can I get list of tables having primary key of DataType 'DateTime'?
I couldn't find any proper way to do it.

Based on the this query, I've updated query to meet your requirement :
select
t.name as TableName,
tc.name as ColumnName
from
sys.schemas s
inner join sys.tables t on s.schema_id=t.schema_id
inner join sys.indexes i on t.object_id=i.object_id
inner join sys.index_columns ic on i.object_id=ic.object_id
and i.index_id=ic.index_id
inner join sys.columns tc on ic.object_id=tc.object_id
and ic.column_id=tc.column_id
inner join sys.types ty on tc.system_type_id = ty.system_type_id
where i.is_primary_key=1 and ty.name = 'datetime'

How to get column-wise constraints in SQL Server

I am using below query to get constraints on required table:
SELECT
OBJECT_NAME(o.object_id) AS ConstraintName,
SCHEMA_NAME(schema_id) AS SchemaName,
OBJECT_NAME(parent_object_id) AS TableName,
type_desc AS ConstraintType
FROM
sys.objects o
-- INNER JOIN
-- sys.columns c ON o.object_id = c.object_id
WHERE
type_desc LIKE '%CONSTRAINT'
AND OBJECT_NAME(parent_object_id)= 'All_Data_Types'
Successfully getting table-wise constraint details. But, I want column's information as well.
Could someone help me with this?
Thanks in advance
Fast solution for default constraint is
SELECT dc.object_id AS ConstraintID, DC.name AS ConstraintName
, O.object_id AS TableID, O.name AS TableName
, C.object_id AS ColumnID, C.name AS ColName
FROM sys.default_constraints AS DC
LEFT JOIN sys.objects AS O ON O.object_id = DC.parent_object_id
LEFT JOIN sys.columns c ON o.object_id = c.object_id AND DC.parent_column_id = c.column_id
For table constraints you could use something like this:
SELECT KCU.*, TC.CONSTRAINT_TYPE
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.KEY_COLUMN_USAGE AS KCU
LEFT JOIN INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLE_CONSTRAINTS AS TC ON TC.CONSTRAINT_SCHEMA = KCU.CONSTRAINT_SCHEMA AND TC.CONSTRAINT_NAME = KCU.CONSTRAINT_NAME
If you are on SQL Server 2012 or later then you can use system view sys.sysconstraints:
Contains mappings of constraints to the objects that own the
constraints within the database.
So, this query:
SELECT *
FROM sys.sysconstraints s
INNER JOIN sys.objects o ON o.object_id = s.constid
theoretically returns the same number of rows as your query. But now you have the additional information about the ID of the column on which the constraint is defined. That is column colid of sys.sysconstraints:
ID of the column on which the constraint is defined.
0 = Table constraint
Thus, using this query:
SELECT OBJECT_NAME(o.object_id) AS ConstraintName,
SCHEMA_NAME(o.schema_id) AS SchemaName,
OBJECT_NAME(o.parent_object_id) AS TableName,
o.type_desc AS ConstraintType,
COALESCE(c.COLUMN_NAME, 'Table constraint') AS ColumnName
FROM sys.sysconstraints s
INNER JOIN sys.objects o ON o.object_id = s.constid
LEFT JOIN INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS c ON c.ORDINAL_POSITION = s.colid AND s.colid <> 0
you also get the name the column related to the constraint.
Here is the query. You are using INNER JOIN on wrong column_name of tables.
You used this
INNER JOIN sys.columns c ON o.object_id = c.object_id
I replaced it with
INNER JOIN sys.columns c ON o.parent_object_id = c.object_id
Now you can see the column_name as well as table_name along with constraint_details.
SELECT OBJECT_NAME(o.object_id) AS ConstraintName,
SCHEMA_NAME(schema_id) AS SchemaName,
OBJECT_NAME(parent_object_id) AS TableName,
c.name as ColumnName,
type_desc AS ConstraintType
FROM sys.objects o
INNER JOIN sys.columns c ON o.parent_object_id = c.object_id
WHERE type_desc LIKE '%CONSTRAINT';
Also avoid using the below clause
AND OBJECT_NAME(parent_object_id)= 'All_Data_Types'

Determine implicit conversion before comparing in SQL Server

We have all inherited bad data models. I have a data model where the FK constraint is going to a data type that isn't implicitly castable. For example, I have a VARCHAR reference column (constraintColumn) which has an FK relationship with an INT parent column (constrainedColumn).
SELECT
OBJECT_NAME(fk.constraint_object_id) KeyName
, t.name constrainedTable
, c.name constrainedColumn
, t2.name constraintTable
, c2.name constraintColumn
FROM
sys.foreign_key_columns AS fk
INNER JOIN
sys.tables AS t ON
fk.parent_object_id = t.object_id
INNER JOIN
sys.columns AS c ON
fk.parent_object_id = c.object_id
AND
fk.parent_column_id = c.column_id
INNER JOIN
sys.tables AS t2 ON
fk.referenced_object_id = t2.object_id
INNER JOIN
sys.columns AS c2 ON
fk.referenced_object_id = c2.object_id
AND
fk.constraint_column_id = c2.column_id
ORDER BY
t.name
, c.name;
How can I use sys.types or something else to determine which data types are implicitly castable?

How to get tableName , columnName ,constraintsType and cascade type in sql server 2008

i need list of tableName , columnName ,constraintsType and cascade type in sql server 2008 so i tried below query but cascade type is null
SELECT TB.name AS "TableName",CL.name AS
"ColumnName",KC.type,FK.delete_referential_action,FK.update_referential_action
FROM SYS.key_constraints KC JOIN SYS.tables TB ON
KC.parent_object_id=TB.object_id JOIN SYS.columns CL ON
KC.parent_object_id=CL.object_id LEFT JOIN SYS.foreign_keys FK ON FK.name = KC.name
I believe this is what you are looking for
SELECT
o1.name AS FK_table,
c1.name AS FK_column,
fk.name AS FK_name,
fk.type as FK_TYPE,
pk.name AS PK_name,
pk.type as PK_TYPE,
fk.delete_referential_action_desc AS Delete_Action,
fk.update_referential_action_desc AS Update_Action
FROM sys.objects o1
INNER JOIN sys.foreign_keys fk
ON o1.object_id = fk.parent_object_id
INNER JOIN sys.foreign_key_columns fkc
ON fk.object_id = fkc.constraint_object_id
INNER JOIN sys.columns c1
ON fkc.parent_object_id = c1.object_id
AND fkc.parent_column_id = c1.column_id
INNER JOIN sys.key_constraints pk
ON fk.referenced_object_id = pk.parent_object_id
AND fk.key_index_id = pk.unique_index_id
ORDER BY o1.name, fkc.constraint_column_id
I didn't try out your query as I don't a sql server in front of me but I believe you are missing a DMV and that is why your left join is returning nulls.

How to get table columns according its schema and table name?

I want to get ColumnName and it's datatype and is_identity for each column of different databases for specific table and schema.
I use following code but SCHEMA_NAME is for current database but I want to run this query from master or another database.
How to check schema name?
SELECT
c.name AS column_name, tp.name as data_type, c.is_identity iden
FROM
DatabaseName.sys.tables AS t
INNER JOIN
DatabaseName.sys.columns c ON t.OBJECT_ID = c.OBJECT_ID
INNER JOIN
DatabaseName.sys.types tp ON c.user_type_id = tp.user_type_id
WHERE
t.name = 'PlaceType'
AND SCHEMA_NAME(t.schema_id) = 'Coding'
Instead of SCHEMA_NAME, use OBJECT_SCHEMA_NAME, like so:
SELECT c.name AS column_name,tp.name as data_type,c.is_identity iden FROM
DatabaseName.sys.tables AS t INNER JOIN
DatabaseName.sys.columns c ON t.OBJECT_ID = c.OBJECT_ID INNER JOIN
DatabaseName.sys.types tp ON c.user_type_id = tp.user_type_id where
t.name='PlaceType' and OBJECT_SCHEMA_NAME(t.object_id,DB_ID(Databasename))='Coding'
Just change the last condition like
and SCHEMA_NAME(t.schema_id) in (Select name from Sys.Databases where database_id > 4)

Getting Table Information

I am trying to get the table information give a table name so I wrote a query like this:
SELECT so.name, sc.name, st.name, sc.length, CASE WHEN sc.status = 0x80 THEN 'Y' ELSE 'N' END AS IsIdent, ColOrder
FROM Asdim.dbo.sysobjects so
INNER JOIN Asdim.dbo.syscolumns sc
ON so.id= sc.id
INNER JOIN Asdim.dbo.systypes st
ON sc.xtype = st.xusertype
WHERE so.Name = 'Admin'
The problem is that I have two tables with name 'Admin' but they have different schemas. So when I run this query:
SELECT * FROM Asdim.dbo.sysobjects WHERE name LIKE 'Admin'
I get two records since the table names are same. Is there a way that I caould filter out based on the schema name too?
The views you are using are all deprecated and just supplied for backward compatibility. Using the new views gives.
SELECT t.name,
c.name,
ty.name,
c.is_identity,
c.max_length,
c.column_id
FROM sys.tables t
JOIN sys.schemas s ON s.schema_id=t.schema_id
JOIN sys.columns c ON c.object_id = t.object_id
JOIN sys.types ty ON ty.user_type_id = c.user_type_id
WHERE t.name LIKE '%Admin%' AND s.name = 'dbo'
INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS has nearly all the information you need but is missing info about identity columns.
