为了扩展Martin的精彩回答，这里有一个查询，它允许您根据父表进行过滤，并显示每个父表的子表的名称，以便您可以根据父表中的外键约束查看所有依赖的表/列。

select 
    con.constraint_name,
    att2.attname as "child_column", 
    cl.relname as "parent_table", 
    att.attname as "parent_column",
    con.child_table,
    con.child_schema
from
   (select 
        unnest(con1.conkey) as "parent", 
        unnest(con1.confkey) as "child", 
        con1.conname as constraint_name,
        con1.confrelid, 
        con1.conrelid,
        cl.relname as child_table,
        ns.nspname as child_schema
    from 
        pg_class cl
        join pg_namespace ns on cl.relnamespace = ns.oid
        join pg_constraint con1 on con1.conrelid = cl.oid
    where  con1.contype = 'f'
   ) con
   join pg_attribute att on
       att.attrelid = con.confrelid and att.attnum = con.child
   join pg_class cl on
       cl.oid = con.confrelid
   join pg_attribute att2 on
       att2.attrelid = con.conrelid and att2.attnum = con.parent
   where cl.relname like '%parent_table%'       

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。

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');

只需替换'您的表名'在下面的查询与您的表名。

简短但贴心的赞，如果对你有用的话。

select * from information_schema.key_column_usage
where constraint_catalog=current_catalog and table_name='your_table_name'
and position_in_unique_constraint notnull;

我自己的贡献。目标是备份所有外键的定义:

SELECT
    'ALTER TABLE ' || tc.table_schema || '.' || tc.table_name || E'\n
    ADD FOREIGN KEY (' || kcu.column_name || ')' || E'\n
    REFERENCES ' || ccu.table_schema || '.' || ccu.table_name ||
    ' (' || ccu.column_name || ') ' || E'\n    ' ||
    CASE WHEN rc.match_option <> 'NONE' THEN E'\n
    MATCH ' || rc.match_option ELSE '' END ||
    CASE WHEN rc.update_rule <> 'NO ACTION' THEN E'\n
    ON UPDATE ' || rc.update_rule || ' ' ELSE '' END ||
    CASE WHEN rc.delete_rule <> 'NO ACTION'
    THEN 'ON DELETE ' || rc.delete_rule ELSE '' END || ';'
AS add_constraint
FROM
    information_schema.table_constraints AS tc
    JOIN information_schema.key_column_usage AS kcu
        ON tc.constraint_name = kcu.constraint_name
        AND tc.table_schema = kcu.table_schema
    JOIN information_schema.constraint_column_usage AS ccu
        ON ccu.constraint_name = tc.constraint_name
        AND ccu.table_schema = tc.table_schema
    JOIN information_schema.referential_constraints AS rc
        ON tc.constraint_name=rc.constraint_name
WHERE tc.constraint_type = 'FOREIGN KEY'

我升级了@ollyc的答案，目前在顶部。 我同意@fionbio，因为key_column_usage和constraint_column_usage在列级上没有相关信息。

如果constraint_column_usage具有像key_column_usage一样的ordinal_position列，则可以将其与该列连接。所以我做了一个ordinal_position到constraint_column_usage如下所示。

我无法确认手动创建的ordinal_position与key_column_usage的顺序完全相同。但我检查了一下，至少在我的箱子里是完全一样的顺序。

SELECT
    tc.table_schema, 
    tc.constraint_name, 
    tc.table_name, 
    kcu.column_name, 
    ccu.table_schema AS foreign_table_schema,
    ccu.table_name AS foreign_table_name,
    ccu.column_name AS foreign_column_name
FROM 
    information_schema.table_constraints AS tc 
    JOIN information_schema.key_column_usage AS kcu
      ON tc.constraint_name = kcu.constraint_name
      AND tc.table_schema = kcu.table_schema
    JOIN (select row_number() over (partition by table_schema, table_name, constraint_name order by row_num) ordinal_position,
                 table_schema, table_name, column_name, constraint_name
          from   (select row_number() over (order by 1) row_num, table_schema, table_name, column_name, constraint_name
                  from   information_schema.constraint_column_usage
                 ) t
         ) AS ccu
      ON ccu.constraint_name = tc.constraint_name
      AND ccu.table_schema = tc.table_schema
      AND ccu.ordinal_position = kcu.ordinal_position
WHERE tc.constraint_type = 'FOREIGN KEY' AND tc.table_name = 'mytable'
