  • relationships - number of relationships (FKs and FK references)

  • references - number of FK references from other tables
  • related_tables - number of related tables
  • referenced_tables - number of different tables referenced with FKs (multiple FK's can refers to one table, so number of foreign keys might be diffrent than number of referenced tables)
  • referencing_tables - number of diffrent tables that are refering to this table (similar note like as above)

Rows

  • One row represents one table in a database
  • Scope of rows: all tables in database with any relationship
