On looking more closely, we *do* support this syntax, and have since
release 7.0. I was misled by the fact that the on-line documentation
failed to mention it. (Docs fixed now.)

The problem here is that PRIMARY is a reserved word in Postgres.
I realize that SQL92 describes it as a non-reserved keyword, but
trying to make it so creates ambiguities in our grammar. You'll
need to pick a different column name. Sorry.
