<code class="function">dblink_get_pkey</code> provides information about the primary
key of a relation in the local database. This is sometimes useful
in generating queries to be sent to remote databases.
</p></div><div class="refsect1" id="id-1.11.7.21.20.6"><h2>Arguments</h2><div class="variablelist"><dl class="variablelist"><dt><span class="term"><em class="parameter"><code>relname</code></em></span></dt><dd><p>
Name of a local relation, for example <code class="literal">foo</code> or
<code class="literal">myschema.mytab</code>. Include double quotes if the
name is mixed-case or contains special characters, for
example <code class="literal">"FooBar"</code>; without quotes, the string
will be folded to lower case.
</p></dd></dl></div></div><div class="refsect1" id="id-1.11.7.21.20.7"><h2>Return Value</h2><p>
Returns one row for each primary key field, or no rows if the relation
has no primary key. The result row type is defined as
</p><pre class="programlisting">
CREATE TYPE dblink_pkey_results AS (position int, colname text);
</pre><p>
The <code class="literal">position</code> column simply runs from 1 to <em class="replaceable"><code>N</code></em>;
it is the number of the field within the primary key, not the number
within the table's columns.
