I'm trying to find a query which will return me a list of the foreign keys for a table and the tables and columns they reference. I am half way there with
SELECT a.table_name,
a.column_name,
a.constraint_name,
c.owner
FROM ALL_CONS_COLUMNS A, ALL_CONSTRAINTS C
where A.CONSTRAINT_NAME = C.CONSTRAINT_NAME
and a.table_name=:TableName
and C.CONSTRAINT_TYPE = 'R'
But I still need to know which table and primary key are referenced by this key. How would I get that?
This question is related to

In case one wants to create FK constraints from UAT environment table to Live, fire below dynamic query.....
SELECT 'ALTER TABLE '||OBJ.NAME||' ADD CONSTRAINT '||CONST.NAME||' FOREIGN KEY ('||COALESCE(ACOL.NAME, COL.NAME)||') REFERENCES '
||ROBJ.NAME ||' ('||COALESCE(RACOL.NAME, RCOL.NAME) ||');'
FROM SYS.CON$ CONST
INNER JOIN SYS.CDEF$ CDEF ON CDEF.CON# = CONST.CON#
INNER JOIN SYS.CCOL$ CCOL ON CCOL.CON# = CONST.CON#
INNER JOIN SYS.COL$ COL ON (CCOL.OBJ# = COL.OBJ#) AND (CCOL.INTCOL# = COL.INTCOL#)
INNER JOIN SYS.OBJ$ OBJ ON CCOL.OBJ# = OBJ.OBJ#
LEFT JOIN SYS.ATTRCOL$ ACOL ON (CCOL.OBJ# = ACOL.OBJ#) AND (CCOL.INTCOL# = ACOL.INTCOL#)
INNER JOIN SYS.CON$ RCONST ON RCONST.CON# = CDEF.RCON#
INNER JOIN SYS.CCOL$ RCCOL ON RCCOL.CON# = RCONST.CON#
INNER JOIN SYS.COL$ RCOL ON (RCCOL.OBJ# = RCOL.OBJ#) AND (RCCOL.INTCOL# = RCOL.INTCOL#)
INNER JOIN SYS.OBJ$ ROBJ ON RCCOL.OBJ# = ROBJ.OBJ#
LEFT JOIN SYS.ATTRCOL$ RACOL ON (RCCOL.OBJ# = RACOL.OBJ#) AND (RCCOL.INTCOL# = RACOL.INTCOL#)
WHERE CONST.OWNER# = userenv('SCHEMAID')
AND RCONST.OWNER# = userenv('SCHEMAID')
AND CDEF.TYPE# = 4
AND OBJ.NAME = <table_name>;
Here is an all-purpose script we use that has been incredibly handy.
Save it off so you can execute it directly (@fkeys.sql). It will let you search by Owner and either the Parent or Child table and show foreign key relationships. The current script does explicitly spool to C:\SQLRPTS so you will need to create that folder of change that line to something you want to use.

This will travel the hierarchy of foreign keys for a given table and column and return columns from child and grandchild, and all descendant tables. It uses sub-queries to add r_table_name and r_column_name to user_constraints, and then uses them to connect rows.

I know it's kinda late to answer but let me answer anyway, some of the answers above are quite complicated hence here is a much simpler take.
SELECT a.table_name child_table, a.column_name child_column, a.constraint_name,
b.table_name parent_table, b.column_name parent_column
FROM all_cons_columns a
JOIN all_constraints c ON a.owner = c.owner AND a.constraint_name = c.constraint_name
join all_cons_columns b on c.owner = b.owner and c.r_constraint_name = b.constraint_name
WHERE c.constraint_type = 'R'
AND a.table_name = 'your table name'
My version, in my humble opinion, more readable:
SELECT PARENT.TABLE_NAME "PARENT TABLE_NAME"
, PARENT.CONSTRAINT_NAME "PARENT PK CONSTRAINT"
, '->' " "
, CHILD.TABLE_NAME "CHILD TABLE_NAME"
, CHILD.COLUMN_NAME "CHILD COLUMN_NAME"
, CHILD.CONSTRAINT_NAME "CHILD CONSTRAINT_NAME"
FROM ALL_CONS_COLUMNS CHILD
, ALL_CONSTRAINTS CT
, ALL_CONSTRAINTS PARENT
WHERE CHILD.OWNER = CT.OWNER
AND CT.CONSTRAINT_TYPE = 'R'
AND CHILD.CONSTRAINT_NAME = CT.CONSTRAINT_NAME
AND CT.R_OWNER = PARENT.OWNER
AND CT.R_CONSTRAINT_NAME = PARENT.CONSTRAINT_NAME
AND CHILD.TABLE_NAME = ::table -- table name variable
AND CT.OWNER = ::owner; -- schema variable, could not be needed
I used below code and it served my purpose-
SELECT fk.owner, fk.table_name, col.column_name
FROM dba_constraints pk, dba_constraints fk, dba_cons_columns col
WHERE pk.constraint_name = fk.r_constraint_name
AND fk.constraint_name = col.constraint_name
AND pk.owner = col.owner
AND pk.owner = fk.owner
AND fk.constraint_type = 'R'
AND pk.owner = sys_context('USERENV', 'CURRENT_SCHEMA')
AND pk.table_name = :my_table
AND pk.constraint_type = 'P';
Its a bit late to anwser, but I hope my answer been useful for someone, who needs to select Composite foreign keys.
SELECT
"C"."CONSTRAINT_NAME",
"C"."OWNER" AS "SCHEMA_NAME",
"C"."TABLE_NAME",
"COL"."COLUMN_NAME",
"REF_COL"."OWNER" AS "REF_SCHEMA_NAME",
"REF_COL"."TABLE_NAME" AS "REF_TABLE_NAME",
"REF_COL"."COLUMN_NAME" AS "REF_COLUMN_NAME"
FROM
"USER_CONSTRAINTS" "C"
INNER JOIN "USER_CONS_COLUMNS" "COL" ON "COL"."OWNER" = "C"."OWNER"
AND "COL"."CONSTRAINT_NAME" = "C"."CONSTRAINT_NAME"
INNER JOIN "USER_CONS_COLUMNS" "REF_COL" ON "REF_COL"."OWNER" = "C"."R_OWNER"
AND "REF_COL"."CONSTRAINT_NAME" = "C"."R_CONSTRAINT_NAME"
AND "REF_COL"."POSITION" = "COL"."POSITION"
WHERE "C"."TABLE_NAME" = 'TableName' AND "C"."CONSTRAINT_TYPE" = 'R'
If you need all the foreign keys of the user then use the following script
SELECT a.constraint_name, a.table_name, a.column_name, c.owner,
c_pk.table_name r_table_name, b.column_name r_column_name
FROM user_cons_columns a
JOIN user_constraints c ON a.owner = c.owner
AND a.constraint_name = c.constraint_name
JOIN user_constraints c_pk ON c.r_owner = c_pk.owner
AND c.r_constraint_name = c_pk.constraint_name
JOIN user_cons_columns b ON C_PK.owner = b.owner
AND C_PK.CONSTRAINT_NAME = b.constraint_name AND b.POSITION = a.POSITION
WHERE c.constraint_type = 'R'
based on Vincent Malgrat code
Here is an another solution. Using sys's default views are so slow (approx 10s in my situation). This is much faster than that (approx. 0.5s).
SELECT

ROBJ.NAME AS REF_TABLE_NAME,
COALESCE(RACOL.NAME, RCOL.NAME) AS REF_COLUMN_NAME,
RCCOL.POS# AS REF_POSITION
FROM SYS.CON$ CONST
INNER JOIN SYS.CDEF$ CDEF ON CDEF.CON# = CONST.CON#
INNER JOIN SYS.CCOL$ CCOL ON CCOL.CON# = CONST.CON#
INNER JOIN SYS.COL$ COL ON (CCOL.OBJ# = COL.OBJ#) AND (CCOL.INTCOL# = COL.INTCOL#)
INNER JOIN SYS.OBJ$ OBJ ON CCOL.OBJ# = OBJ.OBJ#
LEFT JOIN SYS.ATTRCOL$ ACOL ON (CCOL.OBJ# = ACOL.OBJ#) AND (CCOL.INTCOL# = ACOL.INTCOL#)
INNER JOIN SYS.CON$ RCONST ON RCONST.CON# = CDEF.RCON#
INNER JOIN SYS.CCOL$ RCCOL ON RCCOL.CON# = RCONST.CON#
INNER JOIN SYS.COL$ RCOL ON (RCCOL.OBJ# = RCOL.OBJ#) AND (RCCOL.INTCOL# = RCOL.INTCOL#)
INNER JOIN SYS.OBJ$ ROBJ ON RCCOL.OBJ# = ROBJ.OBJ#
LEFT JOIN SYS.ATTRCOL$ RACOL ON (RCCOL.OBJ# = RACOL.OBJ#) AND (RCCOL.INTCOL# = RACOL.INTCOL#)
WHERE CONST.OWNER# = userenv('SCHEMAID')
AND RCONST.OWNER# = userenv('SCHEMAID')
AND CDEF.TYPE# = 4 /* 'R' Referential/Foreign Key */;
Try this:
select * from all_constraints where r_constraint_name in (select constraint_name
from all_constraints where table_name='YOUR_TABLE_NAME');
SELECT a.table_name, a.column_name, a.constraint_name, c.owner,
-- referenced pk
c.r_owner, c_pk.table_name r_table_name, c_pk.constraint_name r_pk
FROM all_cons_columns a
JOIN all_constraints c ON a.owner = c.owner
AND a.constraint_name = c.constraint_name
JOIN all_constraints c_pk ON c.r_owner = c_pk.owner
AND c.r_constraint_name = c_pk.constraint_name
WHERE c.constraint_type = 'R'
AND a.table_name :=TABLE_NAME
AND c.owner :=OWNER_NAME;
select d.table_name,
d.constraint_name "Primary Constraint Name",
b.constraint_name "Referenced Constraint Name"
from user_constraints d,
(select c.constraint_name,
c.r_constraint_name,
c.table_name
from user_constraints c
where table_name='EMPLOYEES' --your table name instead of EMPLOYEES
and constraint_type='R') b
where d.constraint_name=b.r_constraint_name
