  1. select 'ALTER TABLE ' + primary_table + ' drop CONSTRAINT ' 
  2. + primary_key_name + ' FOREIGN KEY (' + foreign_column_1 + ')'
  3. from sysfkeys order by foreign_table
  4.  
How can I change this code to allow me to drop all primary keys instead of foriegn keys?

Is there an equivelant table for the primary keys as this one "sysfkeys " for the forign keys?
