使用JDBC获取与一个表相对应的所有外键以及保存这些外键的表

Question

I need to get all the foreign keys of a particular table and get the names of the tables containing those foreign keys, is there a simple way to do this using JDBC ?

I know there is a way to do this for a particular database using a query, but I need to get a generic solution using JDBC .

Answer 1

You need to use DatabaseMetaData.getExportedKeys :

Retrieves a description of the foreign key columns that reference the given table's primary key columns (the foreign keys exported by a table).

For example

dbmd.getExportedKeys(null, null, "SOME_TABLE_NAME")

will return a list of all tables and their foreign keys pointing to the primary key of SOME_TABLE_NAME .
