Columns
- table_name - table with schema name
- foreign_keys - number of foreign keys in a table
- referenced_tables - number of referenced tables. Note that it is not the same as number of foreign keys, as multiple foreign keys may reference the same table.
Rows
- One row represents one table in a database
- Scope of rows: tables in a database that have foreign keys (reference other tables)
- Ordered by number of foreign keys from the ones with the most
