Re: How do I list foreign key info/relation

Unfortunately I don't think there's a good way to do it in SQL itself.
You might be able to do something in one of the procedural
languages. When i did the support for the older pg_dump (which may
look nothing like the current one), all I did was enhance the code that
was already there to handle constraint triggers.

You will probably have to break it up on the client side. If I get a
chance to do computer stuff other than job related stuff I'm probably
going to write something that will return a constraint string for fk
constraints that look like the original statement (plus or minus a
little).
