Ci sono molte informazioni sull'argomento dappertutto. Controlla questa risposta dettagliata di @Aaron Bertrand. Si parla di disabilitare temporaneamente le chiavi esterne ma leggendolo tutto e modificandolo a piacimento avrai un bel copione con cui giocare e ottenere molto.
Da parte mia posso proporre 2 diversi script per ottenere tutte le chiavi esterne. In entrambi i casi decommentare --EXEC (@SQL) per eseguire il tuo ALTER codice. Oppure puoi aspettare che stampi tutte le clausole alter e poi copia incolla per eseguirle.
Il primo usa il INFORMATION_SCHEMA per ottenere i vincoli:
DECLARE @SQL VARCHAR(MAX)=''
SELECT @SQL = @SQL + 'ALTER TABLE ' + QUOTENAME(FK.TABLE_SCHEMA) + '.' + QUOTENAME(FK.TABLE_NAME) + ' DROP CONSTRAINT [' + RTRIM(C.CONSTRAINT_NAME) +'];' + CHAR(13)
--SELECT K_Table = FK.TABLE_NAME, FK_Column = CU.COLUMN_NAME, PK_Table = PK.TABLE_NAME, PK_Column = PT.COLUMN_NAME, Constraint_Name = C.CONSTRAINT_NAME
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.REFERENTIAL_CONSTRAINTS C
INNER JOIN INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLE_CONSTRAINTS FK
ON C.CONSTRAINT_NAME = FK.CONSTRAINT_NAME
INNER JOIN INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLE_CONSTRAINTS PK
ON C.UNIQUE_CONSTRAINT_NAME = PK.CONSTRAINT_NAME
INNER JOIN INFORMATION_SCHEMA.KEY_COLUMN_USAGE CU
ON C.CONSTRAINT_NAME = CU.CONSTRAINT_NAME
INNER JOIN (
SELECT i1.TABLE_NAME, i2.COLUMN_NAME
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLE_CONSTRAINTS i1
INNER JOIN INFORMATION_SCHEMA.KEY_COLUMN_USAGE i2
ON i1.CONSTRAINT_NAME = i2.CONSTRAINT_NAME
WHERE i1.CONSTRAINT_TYPE = 'PRIMARY KEY'
) PT
ON PT.TABLE_NAME = PK.TABLE_NAME
--EXEC (@SQL)
PRINT @SQL
Questo utilizza diverse viste di sistema e una tabella CTE.
DECLARE @SQL varchar(4000)=''
;WITH ReferencingFK AS
(
SELECT fk.Name AS 'FKName', OBJECT_NAME(fk.parent_object_id) 'ParentTable',
cpa.name 'ParentColumnName', OBJECT_NAME(fk.referenced_object_id) 'ReferencedTable',
cref.name 'ReferencedColumnName'
FROM sys.foreign_keys fk
INNER JOIN sys.foreign_key_columns fkc ON fkc.constraint_object_id = fk.object_id
INNER JOIN sys.columns cpa ON fkc.parent_object_id = cpa.object_id AND fkc.parent_column_id = cpa.column_id
INNER JOIN sys.columns cref ON fkc.referenced_object_id = cref.object_id AND fkc.referenced_column_id = cref.column_id
)
SELECT @SQL = @SQL + 'ALTER TABLE ' + ParentTable + ' DROP CONSTRAINT [' + RTRIM(FKName) +'];' + CHAR(13)
--SELECT FKName, ParentTable, ParentColumnName, ReferencedTable, ReferencedColumnName
FROM ReferencingFK
WHERE ReferencedTable = 'Employee'
ORDER BY ParentTable, ReferencedTable, FKName
--EXEC (@SQL)
PRINT @SQL
