查找以编程方式连接表所需的所有连接

Question

给定一个 SourceTable 和一个 TargetTable，我想以编程方式创建一个包含所需所有连接的字符串。

简而言之，我正在尝试找到一种方法来创建这样的字符串：

FROM SourceTable t
JOIN IntermediateTable t1 on t1.keycolumn = t.keycolumn
JOIN TargetTable t2 on t2.keycolumn = t1.keycolumn

我有一个查询返回给定表的所有外键，但在尝试递归地运行所有这些以找到最佳连接路径并创建字符串时遇到了限制。

SELECT 
    p.name AS ParentTable
    ,pc.name AS ParentColumn
    ,r.name AS ChildTable
    ,rc.name AS ChildColumn
FROM sys.foreign_key_columns fk
JOIN sys.columns pc ON pc.object_id = fk.parent_object_id AND pc.column_id = fk.parent_column_id 
JOIN sys.columns rc ON rc.object_id = fk.referenced_object_id AND rc.column_id = fk.referenced_column_id
JOIN sys.tables p ON p.object_id = fk.parent_object_id
JOIN sys.tables r ON r.object_id = fk.referenced_object_id
WHERE fk.parent_object_id = OBJECT_ID('aTable')
ORDER BY ChildTable, fk.referenced_column_id

我确信以前已经这样做过，但我似乎找不到例子。

我有一个脚本，这是一个初始版本的外钥匙遍历。我很快调整它（见下文），您可能能够将其用作起点。

给定目标表，脚本试图为所有可能的源表打印用于所有可能的源表的最短路径（或其中一个）的连接字符串，使得可以遍历单列外键以访问目标桌子。该脚本似乎在数据库中运行，具有几千个表格和许多我尝试的FK连接。

在评论中提到其他内容，如果需要处理多列外键，则需要更复杂。此外，请注意，这不是任何方式生产准备好，经过了经过了经过的代码。希望它是一个有用的起点，如果你决定建立这个功能！

Answer 2

您可以将具有两个字段tab_name的表的键列表放置为您要连接的所有表的key_name。

例如，对于表 City

• 城市|城市名称
• 城市|国家/地区名称
• 城市|省名
• 城市|城市代码

同样地 Province 和 Country.

收集表的数据并将其放入单个表中（例如元数据表）

现在起草如下查询

select * from
(Select Table_name,Key_name from Meta_Data 
where Table_name in ('City','Province','Country')) A,
(Select Table_name,Key_name from Meta_Data 
where Table_name in ('City','Province','Country')) B,
(Select Table_name,Key_name from Meta_Data 
where Table_name in ('City','Province','Country')) C

where

A.Table_Name <> B.Table_name and
B.Table_name <> C.Table_name and
C.Table_name <> A.Table_name and
A.Column_name = B.Column_name and
B.Column_name = C.Column_name

这将帮助您了解如何根据匹配的键（相同的键名称）链接表

如果您认为键名称可能不匹配，您可以包含备用键字段并尝试在 where 条件中使用它。
