Hello all,

I know that there are probably lots of really great tools out there that can already do this for me, but it's not in the budget and I already started writing my own program to reverse engineer my schema (tables and indexes only)

The problem is, I can't find a view anywhere in the data dictionary that gives me foreign keys AS WELL AS the table that the foreign key is referencing. I've tried dba_constraints, dba_cons_columns, etc. The "table_name" column is simply the name of the table where the foreign key resides, NOT the table that the foreign key is REFERENCING. I refuse to believe this information does not exist. Can anybody help me?

Thanks.
