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.

Talend ETL Part 1: SQL Server Database to Excel Sheet

Hello All, Of many ETL tools available in Market, One of the strong tool is Talend. Difference between other ETL tools and tools like Pentaho, Talend, Clover ETL, Adeptia Integration etc, is that they support NO SQL Cross domains, BIG Data, Hadoop etc. Other ETL tools like, SSIS, Informatica are now coming with their higher versions, which consists of Hadoop Integration. Basically We can say, there are two databases types. 1) RDBMS (Example: SQL Server, MySQL, Oracle etc) 2) Non RDBMS (Example: MongoDB, InfiniDB etc) Talend Supports Non RDBMS databases. Here I would like to share my hands on experience on Talend and how to use it and explain basic components of Talend. Approx there are 500 components we can find in Talend. So lets Kick Start from Basics. First lets try to load Data from Microsoft SQL Server to Excel. Steps: Step1: Open Talend Studio. Step 2: Right click on Job Design and Create a new Job by giving some job name. Step 3: Give the name o...
