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。

检查ff帖子的解决方案，不要忘记标记这个，当你认为这是有帮助的

SELECT
  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
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
  o.contype = 'f' AND o.conrelid IN (SELECT oid FROM pg_class c WHERE c.relkind = 'r');

SELECT r.conname
      ,ct.table_name
      ,pg_catalog.pg_get_constraintdef(r.oid, true) as condef
  FROM pg_catalog.pg_constraint r, information_schema.constraint_table_usage ct
 WHERE r.contype = 'f' 
   AND r.conname = ct.constraint_name
 ORDER BY 1

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。

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

最快的验证直接在bash答案完全基于这个答案
