SELECT
['Table'].TABLE_NAME
,['Column'].COLUMN_NAME
FROM
INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLE_CONSTRAINTS AS ['Table']
INNER JOIN
INFORMATION_SCHEMA.CONSTRAINT_COLUMN_USAGE AS ['Column']
ON
['Column'].CONSTRAINT_NAME = ['Table'].CONSTRAINT_NAME
WHERE
['Table'].CONSTRAINT_TYPE = 'PRIMARY KEY'
I used this script recently so that I could add primary keys to the Dymamics 365 BC Table Reference website.
