Foreign keys reference a row in a separate table that contains the corresponding primary key. This procedure allows you to obtain a list of the remote tables with primary keys that correspond to a particular foreign key table. The sp_remote_imported_keys stored procedure's result set includes the database, owner, table, column, and name for both the primary and the foreign key, as well as the foreign key sequence for the foreign key column. The result set may vary because of the underlying ODBC and JDBC calls, but information about the table and column for a primary key is always returned.
To use the sp_remote_exported_keys stored procedure, your database must be created or upgraded using version 12.4.3 or higher of Sybase IQ.
Table 9-30 lists the sp_remote_imported_keys arguments.
