I have a table whose primary key is referenced in several other tables as a foreign key. For example:
CREATE TABLE `X` (
`X_id` int NOT NULL auto_increment,
`name` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`X_id`)
)
CREATE TABLE `Y` (
`Y_id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
`name` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
`X_id` int DEFAULT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`Y_id`),
CONSTRAINT `Y_X` FOREIGN KEY (`X_id`) REFERENCES `X` (`X_id`)
)
CREATE TABLE `Z` (
`Z_id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
`name` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
`X_id` int DEFAULT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`Z_id`),
CONSTRAINT `Z_X` FOREIGN KEY (`X_id`) REFERENCES `X` (`X_id`)
)
Now, I dont know how many tables there are in the database that contain foreign keys into X like tables Y and Z. Is there a SQL query that I can use to return: 1. A list of tables that have foreign keys into X AND 2. which of those tables actually have values in the foreign key
Thanks!
