I have a SQL Server 2008 DB (A)with more than 400 tables where in tables have many constraints(foreign key relationships). I need to transfer a chunk of data from Database (A) to another DB (B) based upon many rules.
In order to append the data from tables in DB (A) to tables in DB (B) the data in the child table needs to be appended and then the data in the parent table needs to be appended.

Is there any tool that would generate the complete relationships of the schema starting from the base child table and cascading along.

This script finds table references and ranks them by level in order to be able to load tables with FK references in the correct order.
