did you look at the scripting of SSMS ?

or

have a look that the information_schema views ...

select *

from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS

where TABLE_SCHEMA = 'Person'

order by TABLE_NAME, ORDINAL_POSITION ;

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.

sp_fkeys 'schema.childtable'
