Well, if you need a way to check if all the foreign keys in your table are valid, this might help ( it just validates all foreign keys in your schema ) do $$ declare r record; BEGIN FOR r IN ( SELECT 'ALTER TABLE '|| tc.table_name||' VALIDATE CONSTRAINT '||tc.constraint_name||';' X FROM information_schema.table_constraints AS tc JOIN information_schema.tables t ON t.table_name = tc.table_name and t.table_type = 'BASE TABLE' JOIN information_schema.key_column_usage AS kcu ON tc.constraint_name = kcu.constraint_name JOIN information_schema.constraint_column_usage AS ccu ON ccu.constraint_name = tc.constraint_name WHERE constraint_type = 'FOREIGN KEY' AND tc.constraint_schema = 'public') LOOP EXECUTE (REPLACE(r.X,'"','')); END LOOP; END; $$
