I am trying to find out for a given table the column names for the parent
table to which the referential integrity is built upon. for example, table B
has primary keys=id, date_exam  that are a foreign keys to table a, which
has variable name pt_id, date_start. This is the query to deliver the pieces
of information, but as soon as I remove the comment line (as I only want one
line per return), it becomes a run-away and chews up the temp space. I have
looked at this for so long that I am probably missing the obvious.
Any thoughts?

select o.constraint_name ownerconstraint, o.table_name
ownertable,r1.position, r1.column_name, r.constraint_name, r2.position,
r2.column_name
 from all_constraints o,
      (select constraint_name, column_name, position from all_cons_columns )
r1,
      all_constraints r,
      (select constraint_name, column_name, position from all_cons_columns)
r2
 where o.constraint_name=r1.constraint_name and
       o.constraint_type='R' and
       o.r_constraint_name  = r.constraint_name and
       r.constraint_name = r2.constraint_name and
 ---      r1.position= r2.position and
       o.table_name='NEURO_ASSESSMENT'
 order by o.constraint_name, o.table_name;
