Thank You Guys,
For your valuable suggestions.

Out of the suggestion to investigate in to PG_depane
was cumbersome , yes there is a view in information
schema called
information_schema.referential_constraints which gives
same details in terms of foreign keys and primary keys
and is usefull if u have strict nameing convention for
foreign key and primary key in order to arive at table
name..

Reece pgutil is excellent to get the all required
information on foreign key tables and primary key
tables.

With Regards
Ashish Karalkar
