Question

I want to drop a table but it is referenced by one or more other tables. How can I find out which tables are referencing this table without having to look at each of the tables in the database one by one?

Answer 1

SELECT TABLE_NAME FROM information_schema.KEY_COLUMN_USAGE WHERE TABLE_SCHEMA = 'your_schema_name'       AND REFERENCED_TABLE_NAME = 'your_table_name'; 

This works.
