Information about accessible columns in constraint definitions
Columns
___________________________
OWNER
Owner of the constraint definition
CONSTRAINT_NAME
Name associated with the constraint definition
TABLE_NAME
Name associated with table with constraint definition
COLUMN_NAME
Name associated with column or attribute of object column specified in the constraint definition
POSITION
Original position of column or attribute in definition
The SQL*Plus script below can be used to identify unindexed foreign keys(via Tom Kyte)
Unindexed foreign keys can cause deadlock conditions when deleting from a parent table.
