The sp_remote_exported_keys stored procedure's result set includes the database, owner, table, column, and name for the both the primary and the foreign key, as well as the foreign key sequence for the foreign key column. The result set may vary because of the underlying ODBC and JDBC calls, but information about the table and column for a foreign key is always returned.
