The constraint description shows the columns: uid in the referencing
table and id in the referenced table. If you want to rename a
constraint, then use ALTER TABLE to drop it and add it back with a
meaningful name:
ALTER TABLE customer_facts DROP CONSTRAINT "$1";
ALTER TABLE customer_facts ADD CONSTRAINT customer_facts_uid_fkey
FOREIGN KEY (uid) REFERENCES customer(id);
See the ALTER TABLE documentation for more information. You might
want to make these changes inside a transaction to avoid race
conditions with other sessions.
In 8.0 a constraint's default name will be table_column_type, so
instead of $1 you'll get customerdata_uid_fkey, etc.
