In my datbase i have selected unused 300 tables and it should be dropped.
but it may have constraints. so need script with cascade for drop and also
i need to find parent child relation based on that it should get listed and finally deleted.

This lists all the tables which references the unsused tables.
SELECT OBJECT_NAME(f.constid) AS 'ForeignKey', OBJECT_NAME(f.fkeyid) AS
'FKTable', c1.[name] AS 'FKColumnName', OBJECT_NAME(f.rkeyid) AS 'PKTable',
c2.[name] AS 'PKColumnName'
FROM sysforeignkeys f
INNER JOIN syscolumns c1
ON f.fkeyid = c1.[id]
AND f.fkey = c1.colid
INNER JOIN syscolumns c2
ON f.rkeyid = c2.[id]
AND f.rkey = c2.colid
WHERE OBJECT_NAME(f.rkeyid) IN (YourunusedTableList)
