This is very simple but effective script. It list all the table without primary keys.
USE DatabaseName; GO SELECT SCHEMA_NAME(schema_id) AS SchemaName,name AS TableName FROM sys.tables WHERE OBJECTPROPERTY(OBJECT_ID,'TableHasPrimaryKey') = 0 ORDER BY SchemaName, TableName; GO

very helpful, thank you very much!
Hi Pinal,
select * from sys.tables where object_id not in (select object_id from sys.indexes where is_primary_key = 1)
This above query also works fine and it returns the expected result.
Please confirm the same.
Thanks,
Ramkumar
@Ramkumar – I think your query is also correct. I don’t have time to test it but it looks OK.
its awesome, good work
Hi Pinal, you should add this script to your Idera white paper.
