Re: A Query on PG_ tables

Okay, this gets a little wierd, but, for now:

What you'll probably want is
select proname, tgargs from pg_proc, pg_trigger where
pg_proc.oid=pg_trigger.tgfoid and tgisconstraint=1;

Each properly defined foreign key constraint will have three triggers.

The proname for foreign key constraints will look like on of the following:
RI_FKey_check_ins
RI_FKey_<action>_del  - action for deleting a row on the referenced table
RI_FKey_<action>_upd - action for updating a row on the referenced table

The tgargs is layed out as follows:
<constraint name>\000<referencing table>\000<referenced table>\000
<match type>\000<referencing col1>\000<referenced col1>\000
[<referencing col2>\000<referenced col2>\000...]
