This is what I did with your help,
So with this function you can know if a PK in table_from is referenced in x
table with CONSTRAINT FOREIGN KEY
Just if someone needs
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION referenced_in (
in_id bigint,
in_schema_from varchar,
in_table_from varchar
)
RETURNS TABLE (
is_referenced_in_table varchar,
in_row_with_pk bigint
) AS
$body$
DECLARE
v_foreign_tables record;
sql varchar;
BEGIN
FOR v_foreign_tables IN SELECT distinct
tc.table_schema,tc.table_name, kcu.column_name,
ccu.table_schema foreign_table_schema,ccu.table_name AS
foreign_table_name,
ccu.column_name AS foreign_column_name
FROM
information_schema.table_constraints AS tc
JOIN information_schema.key_column_usage
AS kcu ON tc.constraint_name = kcu.constraint_name
JOIN information_schema.constraint_column_usage
AS ccu ON ccu.constraint_name = tc.constraint_name
WHERE constraint_type = 'FOREIGN KEY' and ccu.table_name=in_table_from and
ccu.table_schema=in_schema_from
LOOP
sql='Select
'||quote_literal(v_foreign_tables.table_schema||'.'||v_foreign_tables.table_name)||'::varchar,id
from '||v_foreign_tables.table_schema||'.'||v_foreign_tables.table_name||'
where '||v_foreign_tables.column_name||'='||in_id;
RETURN QUERY EXECUTE sql;
END LOOP;
END;
$body$
LANGUAGE 'plpgsql'
VOLATILE
CALLED ON NULL INPUT
SECURITY INVOKER
COST 100 ROWS 1000;
