I'm trying to find a query which will return me a list of the foreign keys for a table and the tables and columns they reference. I am half way there with
SELECT a.table_name,
a.column_name,
a.constraint_name,
c.owner
FROM ALL_CONS_COLUMNS A, ALL_CONSTRAINTS C
where A.CONSTRAINT_NAME = C.CONSTRAINT_NAME
and a.table_name=:TableName
and C.CONSTRAINT_TYPE = 'R'
But I still need to know which table and primary key are referenced by this key. How would I get that?
The referenced primary key is described in the columns r_owner
and r_constraint_name
of the table ALL_CONSTRAINTS
. This will give you the info you want:
SELECT a.table_name, a.column_name, a.constraint_name, c.owner,
-- referenced pk
c.r_owner, c_pk.table_name r_table_name, c_pk.constraint_name r_pk
FROM all_cons_columns a
JOIN all_constraints c ON a.owner = c.owner
AND a.constraint_name = c.constraint_name
JOIN all_constraints c_pk ON c.r_owner = c_pk.owner
AND c.r_constraint_name = c_pk.constraint_name
WHERE c.constraint_type = 'R'
AND a.table_name = :TableName
