Columns

• foreign_table – foreign tables schemas and names – the table you are looking for
• foreign_table – relationship symbol implicating FK and direction
• primary_table – primary (referenced) tables names with schema name – the table you provided as a parameter

Rows

• One row represents one referencing table
• Scope of rows: all tables referencing table with provided name (and optionally schema)
• Ordered by referencing table schema and name

Notes

• There can be more tables with the same name. If that’s the case, uncomment where clause and provide schema name

Sample results
