PRIMARY_KEYS Rowset

The PRIMARY_KEYS rowset identifies the primary key columns defined in the catalog by a given user. This schema rowset is built upon an SQL 92 schema view as a convenience to the non-SQL programmer. If supported, it must be synchronized with the related SQL 92 view (CONSTRAINT_COLUMN_USAGE).

The PRIMARY_KEYS rowset contains the following columns:

Column name Type indicator Description
TABLE_CATALOG DBTYPE_WSTR Catalog name in which the table is defined. NULL if the provider does not support catalogs.
TABLE_SCHEMA DBTYPE_WSTR Unqualified schema name in which the table is defined. NULL if the provider does not support schemas.
TABLE_NAME DBTYPE_WSTR Table name.
COLUMN_NAME DBTYPE_WSTR Primary key column name. This column, together with the COLUMN_GUID and COLUMN_PROPID columns, forms the column ID. One or more of these columns will be NULL depending on which elements of the DBID structure the provider uses.
COLUMN_PROPID DBTYPE_UI4 Primary key column property ID.
ORDINAL DBTYPE_UI4 The order of the column names (and GUIDs and property IDs) in the key.

Default Sort Order: TABLE_CATALOG, TABLE_SCHEMA, TABLE_NAME.
