The driver does support SQLForeignKeys.  It does say it supports this function
in SQLFunctions.

However, the current implementation is based on the SPI/trigger stuff from the
pg_trigger table.  If you don't have any trigger info, then SQLForeignKeys will
not report anything.  This is most likely the problem.
