Well, that isn't quite what I meant. I know I can do that. Maybe my
explanation was a bit misleading.

Suppose, I've got the table shown above. I've only got its name. What
I want is the column name the primary key is created on. How can I do
that? Basically, which of foo_pkey and foo_data is the primary key?

Cheers,
  Chris
