Thread: Querying for related tables
Hi
How can I query for all the tables that are referenced by a particular table (i.e my table has 3 foreign keys. I need a query that will return the table names of the referenced tables)?
Thanks
Craig

See the chapters on the "Information Schema" (which is an SQL standard) and the "system catalogs" (which are PostgreSQL specific). -- Richard Huxton Archonet Ltd
