View all foreign key constraints for entire MySQL database
You can use the INFORMATION_SCHEMA
tables for this. For example, the INFORMATION_SCHEMA TABLE_CONSTRAINTS
table.
Something like this should do it:
select *
from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLE_CONSTRAINTS
where CONSTRAINT_TYPE = 'FOREIGN KEY'
This is what I prefer to get useful informations:
SELECT CONSTRAINT_NAME,
UNIQUE_CONSTRAINT_NAME,
MATCH_OPTION,
UPDATE_RULE,
DELETE_RULE,
TABLE_NAME,
REFERENCED_TABLE_NAME
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.REFERENTIAL_CONSTRAINTS
WHERE CONSTRAINT_SCHEMA = 'your_database_name'
The currently accepted answer by user RedFilter will work fine if you have just 1 database, but not if you have many.
After entering use information_schema;
use this query to get foreign keys for name_of_db
:
select * from `table_constraints` where `table_schema` like `name_of_db` and `constraint_type` = 'FOREIGN KEY'
Use this query to get foreign keys for name_of_db
saved to world-writeable file output_filepath_and_name
:
select * from `table_constraints` where `table_schema` like "name_of_db" and `constraint_type` = 'FOREIGN KEY' into outfile "output_filepath_and_name" FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' ENCLOSED BY '"';
SQL:
select constraint_name,
table_schema,
table_name
from information_schema.table_constraints
where constraint_schema = 'astdb'
Output:
+----------------------------+--------------+---------------------+
| constraint_name | table_schema | table_name |
+----------------------------+--------------+---------------------+
| PRIMARY | astdb | asset_category |
| PRIMARY | astdb | asset_type |
| PRIMARY | astdb | asset_valuation |
| PRIMARY | astdb | assets |
| PRIMARY | astdb | com_mst |
| PRIMARY | astdb | com_typ |
| PRIMARY | astdb | ref_company_type |
| PRIMARY | astdb | supplier |
| PRIMARY | astdb | third_party_company |
| third_party_company_ibfk_1 | astdb | third_party_company |
| PRIMARY | astdb | user |
| PRIMARY | astdb | user_role |
+----------------------------+--------------+---------------------+
Query this code
select constraint_name,
table_schema,
table_name
from information_schema.table_constraints
You will get constraint_name, and filter the table_schema which is the list of database
.
