If it is for multiple columns' foreign key constraint.

Try this query:

SELECT DISTINCT n.nspname AS from_schema_name, c.relname AS 
from_table_name, toSchemaName.nspname AS to_schema_name, toTable.relname 
as to_table_name,
fk_col.attname
FROM pg_catalog.pg_class AS c
LEFT JOIN pg_namespace AS n ON (n.oid = c.relnamespace)
INNER JOIN pg_catalog.pg_constraint AS rel ON (c.oid=rel.conrelid)
LEFT JOIN pg_catalog.pg_class AS toTable ON (toTable.oid = rel.confrelid)
LEFT JOIN pg_namespace AS toSchemaName ON (toSchemaName.oid = 
toTable.relnamespace)
LEFT JOIN pg_catalog.pg_attribute AS fk_col ON fk_col.attrelid = 
rel.conrelid AND (position(fk_col.attnum in array_to_string(conkey, ' 
')) <>0 )
WHERE rel.contype='f'
ORDER BY from_schema_name, from_table_name;
