Thanks Mantzios, your answer helped a lot! But I have a lot of multi column
foreign keys! Any other ideia??

  Thanks in advance!

Are you having tables with multi column foreign keys?
e.g. (a,b) REFERENCES partable(para,parb).

If not then join with pg_constraint.conkey[1],
if yes then the problem becomes a little less trivial.

You must use/write a function that takes as an argument an array
and returns the elements of this array as a set.

I dont recall if some function like that exists in contrib
but you could search in the archives.

Also if my memory serves well there was a similar talk in th -sql list
some months ago.

Also keep in mind that if your queries are standardized then you
can write a program in C/perl/java/php/... that does what you want.
If your queries are ad-hoc then go the first approach.
