Columns

  • table_name - table name with schema name
  • relationships - number of table relationships
  • foreign_keys - number of foreign keys in a table
  • references - number of foreign keys that are refering to this table
  • related_tables - number of different related tables (regardless of relationship type/direction table is counted only once)
  • referenced_tables - number of different tables referenced with foreign key
  • referencing_tables - nubmer of different tables referencing with foreign keys this table

Note: Multiple FK's can refers to one table, so number of foreign keys might be diffrent than number of referenced tables (same property applies to references and referencing tables)

Rows

  • One row represents one table
  • Scope of rows: all tables with any relationship
  • Ordered by relationships descending
