Arguments

nRelationshipNumber

Specifies the number of a relationship. Include a number from 1 to the number of relationships out of the specified work area. The aliases of the target databases are returned (in no specific order) until nRelationshipNumber is greater than the number of relationships. When nRelationshipNumber is greater than the number of relationships, the empty string is returned.

nWorkArea | cTableAlias
