I'm doing some FK analysis of our tables by making a directed
graph representing FK dependencies and then traversing the
graph. In my code, I name everything using directed graph
terminology, but I'd like to have something a bit more
"user friendly" in the report.
In this scenario:
create table t1(a varchar2(20));
alter table t1 add constraint t1_fk foreign key(a) references t2(b);
t1.a must exist in t2.b. So,
t1 is the _______ of t2.
t2 is the _______ of t1.
Many TIA!
