Problem Description
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 don't 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 2. AND which of those tables actually have values in the foreign key
