Re: A Table's Primary Key Listing

Thanks for your query :)

But it only shows the first of the primary keys of tables having multiple
primary keys :)

This is apparently because of the pg_index.indkey[0] thing, so how can we
manage this query in order to get all of the keys :)

Thanks in advance,
Roger Tannous.
