List prime key column names
Hi!
I am trying to retrieve the column names that comprise primary key of a
table.
According to manual, pg_index.indkey is an array of indnatts whose usage
I am unaware of.
CREATE TABLE table1 (
PRIMARY KEY (c1,c2),
c1 SMALLINT,
c2 VARCHAR(10),
c3 VARCHAR(10)
)WITHOUT OIDS;
I need a SQL to list the following 2 rows:
c1
c2
The following SQL fails with error "syntax error at or near "ANY" at
character 214":
select attname
from pg_class,pg_index,pg_attribute
where relname='table1' and relkind='r' and relhaspkey
and indrelid=pg_class.oid and indisprimary
and attrelid=pg_class.oid and attnum ANY (indkey)
Helps will be much appreciated!

gives error: "ERROR: op ANY/ALL (array) requires array on right side"
Further tests show that this appears to work:
select attname
from pg_class,pg_index,pg_attribute
where relname='table1' and relkind='r' and relhaspkey
and indrelid=pg_class.oid and indisprimary
and attrelid=pg_class.oid and attnum IN
(indkey[0],indkey[1],indkey[2].....indkey[63])
But is there any shortcut?
