Detect invalid FK-data after using "WITH NOCHECK"
In situations where FK's have been created using the "WITH NOCHECK" option you can get into troubles because the FK-data is not checked ! (so there may be invalid data in the FK-column !)
E.g. ALTER TABLE [dbo].[mytable] WITH NOCHECK add constraint [FK__USED_RESO__Actio__1162CF5F] FOREIGN KEY ( Action_Type ) REFERENCES [dbo].[Action_Types] ( Action_Type )
BOL states "... If you do not want to verify new CHECK or FOREIGN KEY constraints against existing data,
use WITH NOCHECK.
We do not recommend doing this, except in rare cases. ..."
I've commented the proc because I found the DBCC command that does even more than that !
Avoid all the hassle with my poc and use :
-- DBCC CHECKCONSTRAINTS (TableName) - checks an individual table
-- DBCC CHECKCONSTRAINTS (ConstraintName) - checks an individual constraint
-- DBCC CHECKCONSTRAINTS WITH ALL_CONSTRAINTS - checks all constraints in the database
-- DBCC CHECKCONSTRAINTS WITH ALL_ERRORMSGS - returns all rows that violate constraints
-- DBCC CHECKCONSTRAINTS WITH NO_INFOMSGS - suppress messages when query runs
