I have this query from the link here which works fine, only that I am adding include FK constraints ‘ON Delete/ Update cascade’ if delete/update_referential_action is 1. I am unable to achieve the desired result. Any help appreciated.
SELECT @create += N' ALTER TABLE ' + QUOTENAME(cs.name) + '.' + QUOTENAME(ct.name) + ' ADD CONSTRAINT ' + QUOTENAME(fk.name) + ' FOREIGN KEY (' + STUFF((SELECT ',' + QUOTENAME(c.name) -- get all the columns in the constraint table FROM sys.columns AS c INNER JOIN sys.foreign_key_columns AS fkc ON fkc.parent_column_id = c.column_id AND fkc.parent_object_id = c.[object_id] WHERE fkc.constraint_object_id = fk.[object_id] ORDER BY fkc.constraint_column_id FOR XML PATH(N''), TYPE).value(N'.[1]', N'nvarchar(max)'), 1, 1, N'') + ') REFERENCES ' + QUOTENAME(rs.name) + '.' + QUOTENAME(rt.name) + '(' + STUFF((SELECT ',' + QUOTENAME(c.name) -- get all the referenced columns FROM sys.columns AS c INNER JOIN sys.foreign_key_columns AS fkc ON fkc.referenced_column_id = c.column_id AND fkc.referenced_object_id = c.[object_id] WHERE fkc.constraint_object_id = fk.[object_id] ORDER BY fkc.constraint_column_id **--- Trying to Accomplish --** If delete_referential_action = 1 THEN FOR XML PATH(N''), TYPE).value(N'.[1]', N'nvarchar(max)'), 1, 1, N'') + ') ON DELETE CASCADE ;' ELSE FOR XML PATH(N''), TYPE).value(N'.[1]', N'nvarchar(max)'), 1, 1, N'') + ');' **----- xxxxx ------** FROM sys.foreign_keys AS fk INNER JOIN sys.tables AS rt -- referenced table ON fk.referenced_object_id = rt.[object_id] INNER JOIN sys.schemas AS rs ON rt.[schema_id] = rs.[schema_id] INNER JOIN sys.tables AS ct -- constraint table ON fk.parent_object_id = ct.[object_id] INNER JOIN sys.schemas AS cs ON ct.[schema_id] = cs.[schema_id] WHERE rt.is_ms_shipped = 0 AND ct.is_ms_shipped = 0;

Answer
Ms Sql 2016 dose not support if statement in middle of query. You must use case statement instead of it.
you need to change
**--- Trying to Accomplish --** If delete_referential_action = 1 THEN FOR XML PATH(N''), TYPE).value(N'.[1]', N'nvarchar(max)'), 1, 1, N'') + ') ON DELETE CASCADE ;' ELSE FOR XML PATH(N''), TYPE).value(N'.[1]', N'nvarchar(max)'), 1, 1, N'') + ');' **----- xxxxx ------**
to something like this
FOR XML PATH(N''), TYPE).value(N'.[1]', N'nvarchar(max)'), 1, 1, N'') + ')' + CASE delete_referential_action WHEN 1 THEN N'ON DELETE CASCADE' END + ';'
