Query to find Related tables, related by Foreign Key and Primary Key

Many times, When we come to a situation to start our work from already developed project, Where Foreign Keys and Primary Keys are already developed in Database, It is Necessary for us to know which table is referring to which table as with Primary Key and Foreign Key Constraint.

For this Purpose, We have System Tables which will Help us to find the Primary key and Foreign key and related Tables.

The query is as follows:


USE ADVENTUREWORKS2008
GO

SELECT OBJECT_NAME(SFK.PARENT_OBJECT_ID) AS [FORIEGN KEY TABLE]
 ,COL_NAME(SFKC.PARENT_OBJECT_ID, SFKC.PARENT_COLUMN_ID) AS [FORIEGN KEY COLUMN]
 ,OBJECT_NAME(SFK.REFERENCED_OBJECT_ID) AS [PRIMARY KEY TABLE]
 ,COL_NAME(SFKC.REFERENCED_OBJECT_ID, SFKC.REFERENCED_COLUMN_ID) AS [PRIMARY KEY COLUMN]
FROM SYS.FOREIGN_KEYS AS SFK
INNER JOIN SYS.FOREIGN_KEY_COLUMNS AS SFKC ON SFK.OBJECT_ID = SFKC.CONSTRAINT_OBJECT_ID


Here I'm trying to find Related tables under Primary key and 
Foreign key Constraint in AdventureWorks2008 Database.

Here,
--OBJECT_NAME: Returns the database object name for schema-scoped objects.
--COL_NAME:    Returns the name of a column from a specified corresponding table identification number and column identification number.
--SYS.FOREIGN_KEYS: Contains a list of all FOREIGN KEYS in the database. It contains one row per FOREIGN KEY.
--SYS.FOREIGN_KEY_COLUMNS: Contains a row for each column, or set of columns, that comprise a foreign key.

BIG Data, Hadoop – Chapter 2 - Data Life Cycle

Data Life Cycle The data life cycle is pictorial defined as show below:     As we see, in our current system, we capture/ Extract our data, then we store it and later we process for reporting and analytics. But in case of big data, the problem lies in storing and then processing it faster. Hence Hadoop takes this portion, where it stores the data in effective format (Hadoop distributed File System) and also process using its engine (Map Reduce Engine). Since Map Reduce engine or Hadoop engine need data on HDFS format to process, We have favorable tools available in market to do this operation. As an example, Scoop is a tool which converts RDBMS to HDFS. Likewise we have SAP BOD to convert sap system data to HDFS.

It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view and write its data.".

BIG Data, Hadoop – Chapter 1 - Understanding Big Data & Hadoop

Understanding Big Data We all in recent time, came across the word ‘Big Data’. So the question is what exactly is Big Data? How much TB or GB or data is called a Big Data? Well, there is no standard size definition for Big Data. If current system when not able to handle the data, then, we call such data as Big Data. (Big Data is just a terminology used in IT) As an example, if I take a text file of 50 GB, Processing a text file of 50 GB size on our Laptop or computer is not a huge task but if we take a smart phone, processing 10 GB of data is huge task. That means, for mobile phone, that 50 GB of data is Big Data. Understanding Hadoop Our current systems such as ETL tools, reporting tools, programming environment all have capability of handling few petabyte of Data. And the growth of data annually is shown below in chart And also the growth of unstructured, Semi structured data are increasingly every day. So there is a need of more adv...
