Simple question ~~but its urgent~~
I am running a copy of SQL server management studio
I have created my own database named 'ProjectManager'

I am trying to get a list of all tables that refer to a table
i.e child tables

I have the correct query as verified elsewhere
but my database is not appearing in INFORMATION_SCHEMA queries

Not in INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES, INFORMATION_SCHEMA.KEY_COLUMN_USAGE... nowhere

Can anyone answer me why this could be?

People here answer when they can, saying "it is urgent" won't help. They try to help in their spare time and for free.

Do not use INFORMATION_SCHEMA views to determine the schema of a data type. The only reliable way to find the schema of a type is to use the TYPEPROPERTY function. Refer MSDN article at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms188348.aspx[^]
