Question

How do I drop all foreign-key constraints on a table in SQL Server 2000 using T-SQL?

Answer 1

Here you go: (not tested on SQL2000, but should be ok)

Generates 'disables':

SELECT  'IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.foreign_keys 
   WHERE object_id = OBJECT_ID(N''[dbo].' + FK +''') 
   AND parent_object_id = OBJECT_ID(N''[dbo].' + PT + ''')) 
   ALTER TABLE ' + PT + ' NOCHECK CONSTRAINT ' + FK + ';'
FROM 
(SELECT 
    OBJECT_NAME(constraint_object_id) as FK,
    OBJECT_NAME(parent_object_id) as PT
    FROM [sys].[foreign_key_columns] ) T
ORDER BY FK

Generates 'enables':

SELECT  'ALTER TABLE ' + PT + ' WITH CHECK CHECK CONSTRAINT ' + FK + ';'
FROM 
(SELECT 
    OBJECT_NAME(constraint_object_id) as FK,
    OBJECT_NAME(parent_object_id) as PT
    FROM [sys].[foreign_key_columns] ) T
ORDER BY FK

Update: Oops, I thought you wanted it for all tables :) You can just modify above for your single table.
