Hi,
It suppose to use ALTER TABLE tablename ADD constraint xxx primary
key(columnname),
unforturatly, Pg7.0 still haven't implemented it yet, so except foreign
key ,other constarints,
you have to choose:
1. rename your old table, recreate an new one with primary key, then use
insert into newtable select * from oldtable.
2. use pg_dump -t tablename -f scriptfile dbname
in shell , edit that scriptfile, add primary key there,
drop your table, then reload it again:
psql dbname<scriptfile
