use user_cons_columns:
SQL> desc user_cons_columns
Name Null? Type
------------------------------- -------- ----
OWNER NOT NULL VARCHAR2(30)
CONSTRAINT_NAME NOT NULL VARCHAR2(30)
TABLE_NAME NOT NULL VARCHAR2(30)
COLUMN_NAME NOT NULL VARCHAR2(30)
POSITION NUMBER
SQL> select constraint_name , table_name, column_name from user_cons_columns
ord
er by constraint_name;
Above query is crude, but effective...
