 How do we know in the output of expain command table  or constraint names so that while parsing  each line of the output
 we can able to recognise them and build the pictorial representation. for example if you consider the following output
 
              EXPLAIN select * from table1,table2 where roll=id_no;
                              QUERY PLAN
----------------------------------------------------------------------
 Hash Join  (cost=29.12..59.31 rows=850 width=124)
   Hash Cond: (table2.id_no = table1.roll)
   ->  Seq Scan on table2  (cost=0.00..18.50 rows=850 width=62)
   ->  Hash  (cost=18.50..18.50 rows=850 width=62)
         ->  Seq Scan on table1  (cost=0.00..18.50 rows=850 width=62)
 
       we can know the table name , just by seeing any string after ON keyword . Like that how to recognise the other constraints and so on.

Hi,
 
I suppose the format depends on the query you serve.  The following links will throw some light.

hi,
 
     is there any generalized format for the output for the output of the explain command ?. If so please send that generalized format to me.
otherwise tell me how to parse the output of explain command to
know where the relation name occurs,where the conditions occurs,
where the join conditions occur and so on. My  goal is create a visual
representation of the expain plan. Can some body help me in this regard.
         Thanks & regards
