Hello all,

I know of the SHOW FIELDS... and SHOW KEYS... statements. I see there is no
SHOW CONSTRAINTS statement.
Is there an other way to find out which foreign keys a table has
implemented?

Thanks in advance Rob

Use command:

SHOW CREATE TABLE table_name

Note, foreign key available only in innodb. If you use myisam there is
no foreign key.
