The query below will return all of the foreign keys in the current schema, I get the ForeignKey name as FK_NAME and both the primary and foreign table's name and schema, now I just need the columns involved in the foreign key itself, there is a column called confkey in pg_constraint and it's an array? It holds the column id
It is an array because foreign keys can have more than one participating field -- how do you want that represented? Here's a way that you can get an array of the participating field names, assuming you're using Postgres 7.4.x:
create or replace function getattnames(oid, smallint[])
returns name[] as '
select array(select attname from pg_attribute
where attrelid = $1
and attnum = any ($2))
' language sql;SELECT cl.relname as TABLE_NAME,
cr.relname as FK_TABLE_NAME,
getattnames(ct.conrelid, ct.conkey) as TBL_ATTS,
getattnames(ct.confrelid, ct.confkey) as FK_TBL_ATTS
FROM pg_constraint ct
JOIN pg_class cl ON cl.oid=conrelid
JOIN pg_namespace nl ON nl.oid=cl.relnamespace
JOIN pg_class cr ON cr.oid=confrelid
JOIN pg_namespace nr ON nr.oid=cr.relnamespace
LEFT OUTER JOIN pg_description des ON des.objoid=ct.oid
WHERE contype='f'; table_name | fk_table_name | tbl_atts | fk_tbl_atts
--------------------+--------------------+-------------+-------------
rule_and_refint_t3 | rule_and_refint_t1 | {id3a,id3b} | {id1a,id1b}
rule_and_refint_t3 | rule_and_refint_t2 | {id3a,id3c} | {id2a,id2c}
fktable | pktable | {fk} | {id}
clstr_tst | clstr_tst_s | {b} | {rf_a}
