Derby - constraints

Question

In the Derby server, how can you use the information in the system tables of the schema to create a select statement in order to retrieve the constraint names for each table

Answer 1

SELECT sc.schemaname, co.constraintname, t.tablename, cg.descriptor, t2.tablename, cg2.descriptor, f.deleterule, f.updaterule
FROM sys.sysconstraints co
JOIN sys.sysschemas sc ON co.schemaid = sc.schemaid
JOIN sys.systables t ON co.tableid = t.tableid
JOIN sys.sysforeignkeys f ON co.constraintid = f.constraintid
JOIN sys.sysconglomerates cg ON f.conglomerateid = cg.conglomerateid
JOIN sys.sysconstraints co2 ON f.keyconstraintid = co2.constraintid
JOIN sys.systables t2 ON co2.tableid = t2.tableid
JOIN sys.syskeys k ON co2.constraintid = k.constraintid
JOIN sys.sysconglomerates cg2 ON k.conglomerateid = cg2.conglomerateid
WHERE co.type = 'F' 
    and sc.schemaname = current schema    

the two descriptor entries contain a list of column numbers for each table, like

BTREE(2,1)

where the numbers correspond to the column numbers in the syscolumns table for the corresponding table.

If anyone has an elegant way of extracting this in this query, I would like to know. I am getting a list of all the columns for a table in a separate query and extracting the names from that after parsing the descriptors to get the numbers.
