What version of the driver are you using? Earlier versions had some
problems and this one (returning `foo_pk' for all rows) looks like one
of them.

Subject: [INTERFACES] JDBC primary keys

Is there a way to determine all primary key columns in
a given table? Example:

CREATE TABLE foo (
bar1 int4,
bar2 text,
bar3 float8,
CONSTRAINT foo_pk PRIMARY KEY ( bar1, bar2 )
)

I want to obtain `bar1' and `bar2' given table name `foo'.

DatabaseMetaData.getPrimaryKeys looks like the right
function to use, but it returns `foo_pk' in COLUMN_NAME
for all rows.

Am I misinterpreting the JDBC specs? What SELECT query
should I use to get the primary key columns?
