Hello,
Use the forum SEARCH. There is posted info on how to identify the primary key. |

where tbname = 'xxxx'
and tbcreator ='yyyyy'

Hello,
Why do you believe this will identify the primary key? |

Not necessarily wrong |
out of curosity, in which case the KEYSEQ will have a value other than zero, but still the corresponding colum will not be a part of key.

You misunderstand. . . I'll try again.
The values returned in your query will be parts of the key, but this is not the most complete info available.
Suggest you look thru the 2 links posted to see the kind of info more often wanted than just some column names.
Also, the original request was to "to find primary key" which (i believe) would at least include the name of the index. . . |
