Hi Daniel,

Not something I play with much, but Oracle has a plethora of 'administrative' tables.  Take a look at the USER_CONSTRAINTS table.

My guess is you want something like "Select * from USER_CONSTRAINTS where TABLE_NAME = 'People';"  

That should get you the names of all the constraints referencing your table.  From there your schema naming convention should let you figure out which table name goes with which constraint name.

Good Luck,
