Determine a Table's Primary Key Using Tsql

SQL Server: Get table primary key using sql query

Found another one:

SELECT 
     KU.table_name as TABLENAME
    ,column_name as PRIMARYKEYCOLUMN
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLE_CONSTRAINTS AS TC 

INNER JOIN INFORMATION_SCHEMA.KEY_COLUMN_USAGE AS KU
    ON TC.CONSTRAINT_TYPE = 'PRIMARY KEY' 
    AND TC.CONSTRAINT_NAME = KU.CONSTRAINT_NAME 
    AND KU.table_name='YourTableName'

ORDER BY 
     KU.TABLE_NAME
    ,KU.ORDINAL_POSITION
; 

I have tested this on SQL Server 2003/2005

SQL query to find Primary Key of a table?

For Oracle, you can look it up in the ALL_CONSTRAINTS table:

SELECT a.COLUMN_NAME
FROM all_cons_columns a INNER JOIN all_constraints c 
     ON a.constraint_name = c.constraint_name 
WHERE c.table_name = 'TBL'
  AND c.constraint_type = 'P';

DEMO.

For SQL Server, it was already answered here, and for MySQL check @ajon's answer.

How do you list the primary key of a SQL Server table?

SELECT Col.Column_Name from 
    INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLE_CONSTRAINTS Tab, 
    INFORMATION_SCHEMA.CONSTRAINT_COLUMN_USAGE Col 
WHERE 
    Col.Constraint_Name = Tab.Constraint_Name
    AND Col.Table_Name = Tab.Table_Name
    AND Tab.Constraint_Type = 'PRIMARY KEY'
    AND Col.Table_Name = '<your table name>'

How to determine the primary key for a table in SQL Server?

I use this in a code generator I wrote to get the primary key:

SELECT i.name AS IndexName, 
    OBJECT_NAME(ic.OBJECT_ID) AS TableName, 
    COL_NAME(ic.OBJECT_ID,ic.column_id) AS ColumnName, 
    c.is_identity, c.user_type_id, CAST(c.max_length AS int) AS max_length, 
    CAST(c.precision AS int) AS precision, CAST(c.scale AS int) AS scale 
FROM sys.indexes AS i 
INNER JOIN sys.index_columns AS ic 
INNER JOIN sys.columns AS c ON ic.object_id = c.object_id AND ic.column_id = c.column_id 
    ON i.OBJECT_ID = ic.OBJECT_ID AND i.index_id = ic.index_id 
WHERE i.is_primary_key = 1 AND ic.OBJECT_ID = OBJECT_ID('dbo.YourTableNameHere')
ORDER BY OBJECT_NAME(ic.OBJECT_ID), ic.key_ordinal

Determine a table's primary key using TSQL

This should get you started:

SELECT 
    *
FROM 
    INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLE_CONSTRAINTS tc
    JOIN 
    INFORMATION_SCHEMA.CONSTRAINT_COLUMN_USAGE ccu 
        ON tc.CONSTRAINT_NAME = ccu.Constraint_name
WHERE 
    tc.TABLE_NAME = 'TableName' AND 
    tc.CONSTRAINT_TYPE = 'Primary Key'

Find all tables in database By primaryKey

You can use this query. Replace 'YOUR_COLUMN_NAME' with your primary key column name.

SELECT Table_Name
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.KEY_COLUMN_USAGE
WHERE OBJECTPROPERTY(OBJECT_ID(CONSTRAINT_SCHEMA + '.' + QUOTENAME(CONSTRAINT_NAME)), 'IsPrimaryKey') = 1
and COLUMN_NAME ='YOUR_COLUMN_NAME'

How do I determine if a column is in the primary key of its table? (SQL Server)

Here is one way (replace 'keycol' with the column name you are searching
for):

SELECT  K.TABLE_NAME ,
    K.COLUMN_NAME ,
    K.CONSTRAINT_NAME
FROM    INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLE_CONSTRAINTS AS C
        JOIN INFORMATION_SCHEMA.KEY_COLUMN_USAGE AS K ON C.TABLE_NAME = K.TABLE_NAME
                                                         AND C.CONSTRAINT_CATALOG = K.CONSTRAINT_CATALOG
                                                         AND C.CONSTRAINT_SCHEMA = K.CONSTRAINT_SCHEMA
                                                         AND C.CONSTRAINT_NAME = K.CONSTRAINT_NAME
WHERE   C.CONSTRAINT_TYPE = 'PRIMARY KEY'
        AND K.COLUMN_NAME = 'keycol';

How to get primary key of table?

A better way is to use SHOW KEYS since you don't always have access to information_schema. The following works:

SHOW KEYS FROM table WHERE Key_name = 'PRIMARY'

Column_name will contain the name of the primary key.
