The ``/<database>/-/foreign-key-targets`` endpoint returns the list of tables in a database that can be referenced by a single-column foreign key. This requires the :ref:`actions_create_table` permission.

|

GET /<database>/-/foreign-key-targets
|
||||
|
||||
The response includes only tables with exactly one primary key column. Tables with compound primary keys and tables with no explicit primary key are omitted.
|
||||
|
||||
Each target includes the normalized SQLite type affinity for the primary key column in ``type``. The type is calculated using SQLite's documented affinity rules: ``INT`` maps to ``integer``; ``CHAR``, ``CLOB`` or ``TEXT`` maps to ``text``; ``BLOB`` or no type maps to ``blob``; ``REAL`` and floating-point declared types map to ``real``; everything else maps to ``numeric``.
