How do view table constraints information (the correct way) [message #447304]

Hi,

I know that you can view all constraints in a table using $USER_CONSTRAINTS or $USER_INDEXES view. What i find difficult is that the information in those views is not really well presented.

I find it very hard to follow. For example, just to find out which columns are foreign keys and which tables they refer to is really tedious.

Is there a simpler way to view all the constraints especially foreign keys of a table and including which table columns they refer to in the child table.

I like to see a diagramatic representaion of all the tables involved so i like to see both the parent and the child tables, which columns are related and using which FKs etc.

Is there an easier way to view this information?

Thanks

You can create a view based upon the dictionary one to see the data as you want.

That schemaspy is quite usefull. I will definately keep it and use it thanks.

I was more interested in solutions within the SQLPLUS domain. I am trying to write a script to do that and would list the data in table format.
