For individual tables, client interfaces usually have a way to show
the table definition. In psql, for example, you can use "\d tablename".
If you want to see all foreign key constraints for all tables then
you could query the pg_constraint system catalog.
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/static/catalog-pg-constraint.html
You can get an idea of what query to issue by viewing the hidden commands
that psql executes (run "psql -E" or execute "\set ECHO_HIDDEN" and then
execute "\d tablename"). Here's an example:
SELECT conrelid::regclass, conname, pg_get_constraintdef(oid)
FROM pg_constraint
WHERE contype = 'f';
