PSQL就是这样做的，如果你用:

psql -E

它将准确地显示执行了哪些查询。在查找外键的情况下，它是:

SELECT conname,
  pg_catalog.pg_get_constraintdef(r.oid, true) as condef
FROM pg_catalog.pg_constraint r
WHERE r.conrelid = '16485' AND r.contype = 'f' ORDER BY 1

在这种情况下，16485是我正在寻找的表的oid -你可以通过将你的表名转换为regclass来获得它:

WHERE r.conrelid = 'mytable'::regclass

如果表名不是唯一的(或者是搜索路径中的第一个)，则对表名进行模式限定:

WHERE r.conrelid = 'myschema.mytable'::regclass

从最流行的答案改进查询

因为对于postgresql 12+ information_schema是非常慢的

它帮助了我:

SELECT sh.nspname AS table_schema,
  tbl.relname AS table_name,
  col.attname AS column_name,
  referenced_sh.nspname AS foreign_table_schema,
  referenced_tbl.relname AS foreign_table_name,
  referenced_field.attname AS foreign_column_name
FROM pg_constraint c
    INNER JOIN pg_namespace AS sh ON sh.oid = c.connamespace
    INNER JOIN (SELECT oid, unnest(conkey) as conkey FROM pg_constraint) con ON c.oid = con.oid
    INNER JOIN pg_class tbl ON tbl.oid = c.conrelid
    INNER JOIN pg_attribute col ON (col.attrelid = tbl.oid AND col.attnum = con.conkey)
    INNER JOIN pg_class referenced_tbl ON c.confrelid = referenced_tbl.oid
    INNER JOIN pg_namespace AS referenced_sh ON referenced_sh.oid = referenced_tbl.relnamespace
    INNER JOIN (SELECT oid, unnest(confkey) as confkey FROM pg_constraint) conf ON c.oid = conf.oid
    INNER JOIN pg_attribute referenced_field ON (referenced_field.attrelid = c.confrelid AND referenced_field.attnum = conf.confkey)
WHERE c.contype = 'f'

我创建了一个小工具来查询和比较数据库模式: Dump PostgreSQL数据库模式到文本

有关于FK的信息，但ollyc的回复提供了更多的细节。

最快的验证直接在bash答案完全基于这个答案

IFS='' read -r -d '' sql_code << EOF_SQL_CODE
      SELECT
      o.oid
      , o.conname AS constraint_name
      , (SELECT nspname FROM pg_namespace WHERE oid=m.relnamespace) AS source_schema
      , m.relname AS source_table
      , (SELECT a.attname FROM pg_attribute a
      WHERE a.attrelid = m.oid AND a.attnum = o.conkey[1] AND a.attisdropped = false) AS source_column
      , (SELECT nspname FROM pg_namespace
      WHERE oid=f.relnamespace) AS target_schema
      , f.relname AS target_table
      , (SELECT a.attname FROM pg_attribute a
      WHERE a.attrelid = f.oid AND a.attnum = o.confkey[1] AND a.attisdropped = false) AS target_column
      , ROW_NUMBER () OVER (ORDER BY o.oid) as rowid
      FROM pg_constraint o
      LEFT JOIN pg_class f ON f.oid = o.confrelid
      LEFT JOIN pg_class m ON m.oid = o.conrelid
      WHERE 1=1
      AND o.contype = 'f'
      AND o.conrelid IN (SELECT oid FROM pg_class c WHERE c.relkind = 'r')
EOF_SQL_CODE

psql -d my_db -c "$sql_code"

使用Key所引用的主键的名称并查询information_schema:

select table_name, column_name
from information_schema.key_column_usage
where constraint_name IN (select constraint_name
  from information_schema.referential_constraints 
  where unique_constraint_name = 'TABLE_NAME_pkey')

这里'TABLE_NAME_pkey'是外键引用的主键的名称。

 SELECT 
    conrelid::regclass AS table_from,
    conname,
    pg_get_constraintdef(oid) as condef    
    FROM pg_catalog.pg_constraint r

也适用于所有约束条件。例如，使用pysql:
