Use SELECT * FROM TABLE WHERE PK_FIELD_1 = VALUE_1 AND PK_FIELD_2 = VALUE_2 .... This is assuming that you know the PK fields else you will have to use table metadata to figure out PK columns and then use them in the SELECT. See this link (http://blog.sqlauthority.com/2009/07/17/sql-server-two-methods-to-retrieve-list-of-primary-keys-and-foreign-keys-of-database/)

What have you done so far? Where are you stuck?

Loads of information in "SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.KEY_COLUMN_USEAGE", in deference to PK's comment; this is the actual constraint catalog. Whereby the key value can be linked to a queriable table.
