How to recreate Foreign Key constraint

1
Hello,

we have two databases. One has all the tables and foreign key constraints set up correctly. The other is missing all the FK constraints as the import failed.
My question is:

How can I export the FK constraints from the first database and import them into the second database?

many thanks

you cant expoet only the constraints without tables.

You need to re import the schema .

are both databases supposed to be identicle? that is, did you export the correct one and have the import fail on the incorrect one?
