是否有一种方法使用SQL列出给定表的所有外键?我知道表名/模式,我可以把它插入。


当前回答

在PostgreSQL提示符上发出\d+ tablename,除了显示表列的数据类型外,它还会显示索引和外键。

这个查询也适用于组合键:

select c.constraint_name
    , x.table_schema as schema_name
    , x.table_name
    , x.column_name
    , y.table_schema as foreign_schema_name
    , y.table_name as foreign_table_name
    , y.column_name as foreign_column_name
from information_schema.referential_constraints c
join information_schema.key_column_usage x
    on x.constraint_name = c.constraint_name
join information_schema.key_column_usage y
    on y.ordinal_position = x.position_in_unique_constraint
    and y.constraint_name = c.unique_constraint_name
order by c.constraint_name, x.ordinal_position

有关于FK的信息,但ollyc的回复提供了更多的细节。

以下是Andreas Joseph Krogh从PostgreSQL邮件列表提供的解决方案:http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/200811072134.44750.andreak@officenet.no

SELECT source_table::regclass, source_attr.attname AS source_column,
    target_table::regclass, target_attr.attname AS target_column
FROM pg_attribute target_attr, pg_attribute source_attr,
  (SELECT source_table, target_table, source_constraints[i] source_constraints, target_constraints[i] AS target_constraints
   FROM
     (SELECT conrelid as source_table, confrelid AS target_table, conkey AS source_constraints, confkey AS target_constraints,
       generate_series(1, array_upper(conkey, 1)) AS i
      FROM pg_constraint
      WHERE contype = 'f'
     ) query1
  ) query2
WHERE target_attr.attnum = target_constraints AND target_attr.attrelid = target_table AND
      source_attr.attnum = source_constraints AND source_attr.attrelid = source_table;

这个解决方案处理引用多个列的外键,并避免重复(其他一些答案无法做到这一点)。我唯一改变的是变量名。

下面是一个示例,返回所有引用权限表的雇员列:

SELECT source_column
FROM foreign_keys
WHERE source_table = 'employee'::regclass AND target_table = 'permission'::regclass;

使用Key所引用的主键的名称并查询information_schema:

select table_name, column_name
from information_schema.key_column_usage
where constraint_name IN (select constraint_name
  from information_schema.referential_constraints 
  where unique_constraint_name = 'TABLE_NAME_pkey')

这里'TABLE_NAME_pkey'是外键引用的主键的名称。

SELECT conrelid::regclass AS table_name, 
       conname AS foreign_key, 
       pg_get_constraintdef(oid) 
FROM   pg_constraint 
WHERE  contype = 'f' 
AND    connamespace = 'public'::regnamespace   
ORDER  BY conrelid::regclass::text, contype DESC;
