以下是Andreas Joseph Krogh从PostgreSQL邮件列表提供的解决方案:http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/200811072134.44750.andreak@officenet.no

SELECT source_table::regclass, source_attr.attname AS source_column,
    target_table::regclass, target_attr.attname AS target_column
FROM pg_attribute target_attr, pg_attribute source_attr,
  (SELECT source_table, target_table, source_constraints[i] source_constraints, target_constraints[i] AS target_constraints
   FROM
     (SELECT conrelid as source_table, confrelid AS target_table, conkey AS source_constraints, confkey AS target_constraints,
       generate_series(1, array_upper(conkey, 1)) AS i
      FROM pg_constraint
      WHERE contype = 'f'
     ) query1
  ) query2
WHERE target_attr.attnum = target_constraints AND target_attr.attrelid = target_table AND
      source_attr.attnum = source_constraints AND source_attr.attrelid = source_table;

这个解决方案处理引用多个列的外键，并避免重复(其他一些答案无法做到这一点)。我唯一改变的是变量名。

下面是一个示例，返回所有引用权限表的雇员列:

SELECT source_column
FROM foreign_keys
WHERE source_table = 'employee'::regclass AND target_table = 'permission'::regclass;

在PostgreSQL提示符上发出\d+ tablename，除了显示表列的数据类型外，它还会显示索引和外键。

我写了一个解决方案，喜欢和经常使用。代码在http://code.google.com/p/pgutils/。看这些小疙瘩。foreign_keys视图。

不幸的是，输出太冗长，这里不包括。但是，你可以在数据库的公共版本上尝试一下，就像这样:

$ psql -h unison-db.org -U PUBLIC -d unison -c 'select * from pgutils.foreign_keys;

这至少适用于8.3版本。如果需要的话，我预计会在未来几个月内对其进行更新。

$1 ('my_schema')是模式，$2 ('my_table')是表名:

SELECT ss.conname constraint_name, a.attname column_name, ss.refnamespace fk_table_schema, ss.reflname fk_table_name, af.attname fk_column_name
    FROM  pg_attribute a, pg_attribute af,
        (SELECT r.oid roid, c.conname, rf.relname reflname, information_schema._pg_expandarray(c.conkey) x,
                nrf.nspname refnamespace, rf.oid rfoid, information_schema._pg_expandarray(cf.confkey) xf
            FROM pg_namespace nr, pg_class r, pg_constraint c,
                pg_namespace nrf, pg_class rf, pg_constraint cf
            WHERE nr.oid = r.relnamespace
                AND r.oid = c.conrelid
                AND rf.oid = cf.confrelid
                AND c.conname = cf.conname
                AND nrf.oid = rf.relnamespace
                AND nr.nspname = $1
                AND r.relname = $2) ss
    WHERE ss.roid = a.attrelid AND a.attnum = (ss.x).x AND NOT a.attisdropped
        AND ss.rfoid = af.attrelid AND af.attnum = (ss.xf).x AND NOT af.attisdropped
    ORDER BY ss.conname, a.attname;

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。

这个查询也适用于组合键:

select c.constraint_name
    , x.table_schema as schema_name
    , x.table_name
    , x.column_name
    , y.table_schema as foreign_schema_name
    , y.table_name as foreign_table_name
    , y.column_name as foreign_column_name
from information_schema.referential_constraints c
join information_schema.key_column_usage x
    on x.constraint_name = c.constraint_name
join information_schema.key_column_usage y
    on y.ordinal_position = x.position_in_unique_constraint
    and y.constraint_name = c.unique_constraint_name
order by c.constraint_name, x.ordinal_position
