MySQL: How to determine foreign key relationships programmatically?
There are two tables you can query to get this information: INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLE_CONSTRAINTS
and INFORMATION_SCHEMA.KEY_COLUMN_USAGE
.
Here's a query from the comments on the latter page linked above, which demonstrates how to get the info you seek.
SELECT CONCAT( table_name, '.', column_name, ' -> ',
referenced_table_name, '.', referenced_column_name ) AS list_of_fks
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.key_column_usage
WHERE referenced_table_schema = 'test'
AND referenced_table_name IS NOT NULL
ORDER BY table_name, column_name;
Use your schema name instead of 'test
' above.
Here you have a little improvement over the @bill solution:
SELECT CONSTRAINT_SCHEMA AS db,
CONCAT (
TABLE_NAME,
'.',
COLUMN_NAME,
' -> ',
REFERENCED_TABLE_NAME,
'.',
REFERENCED_COLUMN_NAME
) AS relationship
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.KEY_COLUMN_USAGE
WHERE REFERENCED_TABLE_NAME = 'your_table_name'
ORDER BY CONSTRAINT_SCHEMA,
TABLE_NAME,
COLUMN_NAME;
In this case I was filtering by relationships with the "your_table_name" fields and seeing from which database the relationship comes.
