Tables are related by foreign keys
Foreign keys reference a row in a separate table that contains the corresponding primary key. This procedure allows you to obtain a list of the remote tables with primary keys that correspond to a particular foreign key table. The sp_remote_imported_keys 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 primary key is always returned.
To use the sp_remote_imported_keys stored procedure, your database must be created or upgraded using version 7.0.2 or higher of Adaptive Server Anywhere.
The procedure accepts four arguments:
@server_name identifies the server the foreign key table is located on. A value is required for this parameter.
@sp_name identifies the table containing the foreign key. A value is required for this parameter.
@sp_owner identifies the foreign key table's owner. This parameter is optional.
@sp_qualifier identifies the database containing the foreign key table. This parameter is optional.
To get information about the tables with primary keys that correspond to a foreign key on the sysobjects table, owned by fred, in the asetest server:
call sp_remote_imported_keys (
@server_name='asetest',
@sp_name='sysobjects',
@sp_qualifier='production')
