Get Filenames and Database names from MSSQL

I was doing some clean up on one of our database servers; we have many databases created with backup/restore for testing purposes I was checking for the largest ldf files and making sure those databases were in simple mode and then shirking the data files, there were a few files I could not match to the databases because the mdf and ldf file names were different from the actual database file name - found the following queries using a few google searches

MSSQL drop and re-add constraints

One of the guys at work hooked me up with this code - quite useful if you want to do a bunch of data inserts but don't want to worry about the order you apply the inserts because of foreign key constraints

Before performing data actions:
<br />-- generate these and run<br />SELECT<br />'ALTER TABLE ' + so.NAME + ' NOCHECK CONSTRAINT ALL'<br />FROM sysobjects so<br />WHERE xtype = 'u'<br />

After performing data actions:
<br />-- generate these and run<br />SELECT<br />'ALTER TABLE ' + so.NAME + ' CHECK CONSTRAINT ALL'<br />FROM sysobjects so<br />WHERE xtype = 'u'<br />

Thanks to ET for this code bit!
