30. 78. 1. Getting Information on Constraints

You can get information on your constraints by querying user_constraints.

 --------------------

 OWNER               NOT NULL VARCHAR2(30)
 CONSTRAINT_NAME     NOT NULL VARCHAR2(30)
 CONSTRAINT_TYPE              VARCHAR2(1)   --Constraint type. Set to P, R, C, U, V, or O.
 TABLE_NAME          NOT NULL VARCHAR2(30)
 SEARCH_CONDITION             LONG
 R_OWNER                      VARCHAR2(30)
 R_CONSTRAINT_NAME            VARCHAR2(30)
 DELETE_RULE                  VARCHAR2(9)
 STATUS                       VARCHAR2(8)  --Constraint status. Set to ENABLED or DISABLED.
 DEFERRABLE                   VARCHAR2(14--Whether the constraint is deferrable. Set to DEFERRABLE or NOT DEFERRABLE.
 DEFERRED                     VARCHAR2(9)  --Whether the deferred. Set to IMMEDIATE or DEFERRED.
 VALIDATED                    VARCHAR2(13)
