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'

现有的答案都没有给出我想要的结果。这是我的(庞大的)查询，用于查找有关外键的信息。

注意事项:

The expressions used to generate from_cols and to_cols could be vastly simplified on Postgres 9.4 and later using WITH ORDINALITY rather than the window-function-using hackery I'm using. Those same expressions are relying on the query planner not altering the returned order of results from UNNEST. I don't think it will, but I don't have any multiple-column foreign keys in my dataset to test with. Adding the 9.4 niceties eliminates this possibility altogether. The query itself requires Postgres 9.0 or later (8.x didn't allow ORDER BY in aggregate functions) Replace STRING_AGG with ARRAY_AGG if you want an array of columns rather than a comma-separated string.

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,

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

我认为你想要的和@ollyc写的很接近的是:

SELECT
tc.constraint_name, tc.table_name, kcu.column_name, 
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
JOIN information_schema.constraint_column_usage AS ccu
  ON ccu.constraint_name = tc.constraint_name
WHERE constraint_type = 'FOREIGN KEY' AND ccu.table_name='YourTableNameHere';

这将列出所有使用指定表作为外键的表
