I have a table Users with a field called org_id
which is a foreign key to a table organisation
, with primary key field organisation_id
This query adds the referenced column(s) for the foreign key constraint:
SELECT c.confrelid::regclass::text AS referenced_table
,string_agg(f.attname, ', ') AS referenced_columns
,c.conname AS fk_name
,pg_get_constraintdef(c.oid) AS fk_definition
FROM pg_attribute a
JOIN pg_constraint c ON (c.conrelid, c.conkey[1]) = (a.attrelid, a.attnum)
JOIN pg_attribute f ON f.attrelid = c.confrelid
AND f.attnum = ANY (confkey)
WHERE a.attrelid = '"Schema"."Users"'::regclass -- table name
AND a.attname = 'org_id' -- column name
AND c.contype = 'f'
GROUP BY c.confrelid, c.conname, c.oid;
A fk constraint can reference multiple columns. That's the reason for the aggregate function string_agg() in the query.
