查找以编程方式连接表所需的所有连接

我有一个脚本可以完成外键遍历的基本版本。我很快对其进行了调整（见下文），您也许可以将其用作起点。

给定一个目标表，脚本尝试为所有可能的源表打印最短路径的连接字符串（或在 tie 的情况下其中一个），以便可以遍历单列外键以到达目标表。该脚本似乎在具有几千个表和许多我尝试过的 FK 连接的数据库上运行良好。

正如其他人在评论中提到的那样，如果您需要处理多列外键，则需要使其更加复杂。另外，请注意，这绝不是生产就绪、经过全面测试的代码。如果您决定构建此功能，希望这是一个有用的起点！

您可以为要连接的所有表放置包含两个字段 TAB_NAME、KEY_NAME 的表的键列表。

例如，对于表City

• 城市|城市名称
• 城市|国家名称
• 城市|省名
• 城市|城市_代码

同样Province和Country。

收集表的数据并放入单个表（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

这将使您了解如何根据匹配的键（相同的键名）链接表

如果您认为键名可能不匹配，您可以包含一个备用键字段并尝试在 where 条件中使用它。
