How to find foreign-key dependencies pointing to one record in Oracle?

I always look at the Foreign keys for the starting table and work my way back. The DB tools usually have a dependencies or constraints node. I know PL/SQL Developer has a way to see FK's, but it's been a while since I have used it, so I can't explain it...

just replace XXXXXXXXXXXX with a table name...

/* The following query lists all relationships */ 

select
 a.owner||'.'||a.table_name "Referenced Table"
,b.owner||'.'||b.table_name "Referenced by"
,b.constraint_name "Foreign Key"
from all_constraints a, all_constraints b 
where 
b.constraint_type = 'R'
and a.constraint_name = b.r_constraint_name 
and b.table_name='XXXXXXXXXXXX' -- Table name 
order by a.owner||'.'||a.table_name

Here is my solution to list all references to a table:

select
  src_cc.owner as src_owner,
  src_cc.table_name as src_table,
  src_cc.column_name as src_column,
  dest_cc.owner as dest_owner,
  dest_cc.table_name as dest_table,
  dest_cc.column_name as dest_column,
  c.constraint_name
from
  all_constraints c
inner join all_cons_columns dest_cc on
  c.r_constraint_name = dest_cc.constraint_name
  and c.r_owner = dest_cc.owner
inner join all_cons_columns src_cc on
  c.constraint_name = src_cc.constraint_name
  and c.owner = src_cc.owner
where
  c.constraint_type = 'R'
  and dest_cc.owner = 'MY_TARGET_SCHEMA'
  and dest_cc.table_name = 'MY_TARGET_TABLE'
  --and dest_cc.column_name = 'MY_OPTIONNAL_TARGET_COLUMN'
;

With this solution you also have the information of which column of which table is referencing which column of your target table (and you can filter on it).

I had a similar problem recently, but experienced soon, that finding the direct dependencies is not enough. So I wrote a query to show a tree of multilevel foreign key dependencies:

SELECT LPAD(' ',4*(LEVEL-1)) || table1 || ' <-- ' || table2 tables, table2_fkey
FROM
  (SELECT a.table_name table1, b.table_name table2, b.constraint_name table2_fkey
  FROM user_constraints a, user_constraints b 
  WHERE a.constraint_type IN('P', 'U') 
  AND b.constraint_type = 'R' 
  AND a.constraint_name = b.r_constraint_name 
  AND a.table_name != b.table_name
  AND b.table_name <> 'MYTABLE')
CONNECT BY PRIOR  table2 = table1 AND LEVEL <= 5
START WITH table1 = 'MYTABLE';

It gives a result like this, when using SHIPMENT as MYTABLE in my database:

SHIPMENT <-- ADDRESS
SHIPMENT <-- PACKING_LIST
    PACKING_LIST <-- PACKING_LIST_DETAILS
    PACKING_LIST <-- PACKING_UNIT
        PACKING_UNIT <-- PACKING_LIST_ITEM
    PACKING_LIST <-- PO_PACKING_LIST
