Which table is foreign key constraint on

Hi all,

When trying to delete a record from a table, I receive the message
"[root@localhost:3306] ERROR 1217: Cannot delete or update a parent
row: a foreign key constraint fails". I know there is a foreign key,
but don't know what table it is on. Is there an easy way to find out
what table the foreign key is in that is restricting the record from
being deleted.

Thank You
