Is there a way in PG 7.3, given a field, to find out what other tables & records are linked to it via a foreign key? EG: create table cities (id serial primary key, title varchar not null); insert into cities(title) values ('San Fransisco'); insert into cities(title) values ('Los Angeles'); create table stores (id serial primary key, city integer not null references cities(id), title varchar); insert into stores(city, title) values (1, 'North City'); insert into stores(city, title) values (2, 'Central District'); insert into stores (city, title) values (1, 'Beachfront"); Given the above, and I wanted to know all the tables/records that relate to id 1, San Fransisco, and get a result something like: table | primary key stores | 1 stores | 3 Does such functionality exist in PG? Isn't it already doing essentially this when attempting to delete a record with other records linked to it? Currently, I do this by attempting to delete a record in a transaction, and trap the error - it's a terrible way to do this, and sometimes I'm already in a transaction. -Ben -- "The best way to predict the future is to invent it." - XEROX PARC slogan, circa 1978
