Re: Foreign keys.

I think your query will only show the tables referenced by the table you specify.

If you want to find foreign keys which reference your table, try this:

SELECT  child.owner,
        child.table_name,
        child.constraint_name
FROM    dba_constraints child,
        dba_constraints parent
WHERE   child.r_constraint_name = parent.constraint_name
AND     parent.table_name = UPPER('&&parent')
