oid oid

Row identifier

conname name

Constraint name (not necessarily unique!)

connamespace oid (references pg_namespace.oid)

The OID of the namespace that contains this constraint

contype char

c = check constraint, f = foreign key constraint, p = primary key constraint, u = unique constraint, t = constraint trigger, x = exclusion constraint

condeferrable bool

Is the constraint deferrable?

condeferred bool

Is the constraint deferred by default?

convalidated bool

Has the constraint been validated? Currently, can be false only for foreign keys and CHECK constraints

conrelid oid (references pg_class.oid)

The table this constraint is on; zero if not a table constraint

contypid oid (references pg_type.oid)

The domain this constraint is on; zero if not a domain constraint

conindid oid (references pg_class.oid)

The index supporting this constraint, if it's a unique, primary key, foreign key, or exclusion constraint; else zero

conparentid oid (references pg_constraint.oid)

The corresponding constraint of the parent partitioned table, if this is a constraint on a partition; else zero

confrelid oid (references pg_class.oid)

If a foreign key, the referenced table; else zero

confupdtype char

Foreign key update action code: a = no action, r = restrict, c = cascade, n = set null, d = set default

confdeltype char

Foreign key deletion action code: a = no action, r = restrict, c = cascade, n = set null, d = set default

confmatchtype char

Foreign key match type: f = full, p = partial, s = simple

conislocal bool

This constraint is defined locally for the relation. Note that a constraint can be locally defined and inherited simultaneously.

coninhcount int4

The number of direct inheritance ancestors this constraint has. A constraint with a nonzero number of ancestors cannot be dropped nor renamed.

connoinherit bool

This constraint is defined locally for the relation. It is a non-inheritable constraint.

conkey int2[] (references pg_attribute.attnum)

If a table constraint (including foreign keys, but not constraint triggers), list of the constrained columns

confkey int2[] (references pg_attribute.attnum)

If a foreign key, list of the referenced columns

conpfeqop oid[] (references pg_operator.oid)

If a foreign key, list of the equality operators for PK = FK comparisons

conppeqop oid[] (references pg_operator.oid)

If a foreign key, list of the equality operators for PK = PK comparisons

conffeqop oid[] (references pg_operator.oid)

If a foreign key, list of the equality operators for FK = FK comparisons

confdelsetcols int2[] (references pg_attribute.attnum)

If a foreign key with a SET NULL or SET DEFAULT delete action, the columns that will be updated. If null, all of the referencing columns will be updated.

conexclop oid[] (references pg_operator.oid)

If an exclusion constraint, list of the per-column exclusion operators

conbin pg_node_tree

If a check constraint, an internal representation of the expression. (It's recommended to use pg_get_constraintdef() to extract the definition of a check constraint.)
