另一种方式:

WITH foreign_keys AS (
    SELECT
      conname,
      conrelid,
      confrelid,
      unnest(conkey)  AS conkey,
      unnest(confkey) AS confkey
    FROM pg_constraint
    WHERE contype = 'f' -- AND confrelid::regclass = 'your_table'::regclass
)
-- if confrelid, conname pair shows up more than once then it is multicolumn foreign key
SELECT fk.conname as constraint_name,
       fk.confrelid::regclass as referenced_table, af.attname as pkcol,
       fk.conrelid::regclass as referencing_table, a.attname as fkcol
FROM foreign_keys fk
JOIN pg_attribute af ON af.attnum = fk.confkey AND af.attrelid = fk.confrelid
JOIN pg_attribute a ON a.attnum = conkey AND a.attrelid = fk.conrelid
ORDER BY fk.confrelid, fk.conname
;

你可以使用PostgreSQL系统目录。也许您可以查询pg_constraint来请求外键。 您还可以使用信息模式

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%'       

这是我目前使用的，它将列出一个表，它的fkey约束[删除表子句，它将列出当前目录中的所有表]:

SELECT

    current_schema() AS "schema",
    current_catalog AS "database",
    "pg_constraint".conrelid::regclass::text AS "primary_table_name",
    "pg_constraint".confrelid::regclass::text AS "foreign_table_name",

    (
        string_to_array(
            (
                string_to_array(
                    pg_get_constraintdef("pg_constraint".oid),
                    '('
                )
            )[2],
            ')'
        )
    )[1] AS "foreign_column_name",

    "pg_constraint".conindid::regclass::text AS "constraint_name",

    TRIM((
        string_to_array(
            pg_get_constraintdef("pg_constraint".oid),
            '('
        )
    )[1]) AS "constraint_type",

    pg_get_constraintdef("pg_constraint".oid) AS "constraint_definition"

FROM pg_constraint AS "pg_constraint"

JOIN pg_namespace AS "pg_namespace" ON "pg_namespace".oid = "pg_constraint".connamespace

WHERE
    --fkey and pkey constraints
    "pg_constraint".contype IN ( 'f', 'p' )
    AND
    "pg_namespace".nspname = current_schema()
    AND
    "pg_constraint".conrelid::regclass::text IN ('whatever_table_name')

正确的解决方案，使用information_schema，使用多列键，在两个表中正确地连接不同名称的列，并且与ms sqlsever兼容:

select fks.TABLE_NAME as foreign_key_table_name
, fks.CONSTRAINT_NAME as foreign_key_constraint_name
, kcu_foreign.COLUMN_NAME as foreign_key_column_name
, rc.UNIQUE_CONSTRAINT_NAME as primary_key_constraint_name
, pks.TABLE_NAME as primary_key_table_name
, kcu_primary.COLUMN_NAME as primary_key_column_name
from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLE_CONSTRAINTS fks -- foreign keys
inner join INFORMATION_SCHEMA.KEY_COLUMN_USAGE kcu_foreign -- the columns of the above keys
    on fks.TABLE_CATALOG = kcu_foreign.TABLE_CATALOG
    and fks.TABLE_SCHEMA = kcu_foreign.TABLE_SCHEMA
    and fks.TABLE_NAME = kcu_foreign.TABLE_NAME
    and fks.CONSTRAINT_NAME = kcu_foreign.CONSTRAINT_NAME
inner join INFORMATION_SCHEMA.REFERENTIAL_CONSTRAINTS rc -- referenced constraints
    on rc.CONSTRAINT_CATALOG = fks.CONSTRAINT_CATALOG
    and rc.CONSTRAINT_SCHEMA = fks.CONSTRAINT_SCHEMA
    and rc.CONSTRAINT_NAME = fks.CONSTRAINT_NAME
inner join INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLE_CONSTRAINTS pks -- primary keys (referenced by fks)
    on rc.UNIQUE_CONSTRAINT_CATALOG = pks.CONSTRAINT_CATALOG
    and rc.UNIQUE_CONSTRAINT_SCHEMA = pks.CONSTRAINT_SCHEMA
    and rc.UNIQUE_CONSTRAINT_NAME = pks.CONSTRAINT_NAME
inner join INFORMATION_SCHEMA.KEY_COLUMN_USAGE kcu_primary
    on pks.TABLE_CATALOG = kcu_primary.TABLE_CATALOG
    and pks.TABLE_SCHEMA = kcu_primary.TABLE_SCHEMA
    and pks.TABLE_NAME = kcu_primary.TABLE_NAME
    and pks.CONSTRAINT_NAME = kcu_primary.CONSTRAINT_NAME
    and kcu_foreign.ORDINAL_POSITION = kcu_primary.ORDINAL_POSITION -- this joins the columns
where fks.TABLE_SCHEMA = 'dbo' -- replace with schema name
and fks.TABLE_NAME = 'your_table_name' -- replace with table name
and fks.CONSTRAINT_TYPE = 'FOREIGN KEY'
and pks.CONSTRAINT_TYPE = 'PRIMARY KEY'
order by fks.constraint_name, kcu_foreign.ORDINAL_POSITION

注意:在potgresql和sqlserver的information_schema实现之间存在一些差异，这使得顶部答案在两个系统上给出不同的结果——一个显示外键表的列名，另一个显示主键表的列名。出于这个原因，我决定使用KEY_COLUMN_USAGE视图。

注意:在读取约束列时，不要忘记列的顺序!

SELECT conname, attname
  FROM pg_catalog.pg_constraint c 
  JOIN pg_catalog.pg_attribute a ON a.attrelid = c.conrelid AND a.attnum = ANY (c.conkey)
 WHERE attrelid = 'schema.table_name'::regclass
 ORDER BY conname, array_position(c.conkey, a.attnum)
