I still am not sure I am following.

If the inner query is on the child table, why are you selecting for
'PRIMARY KEY' and not 'FOREIGN KEY'?

That would sort of make sense if you where supplying the parent table
name, but again a FOREIGN KEY references a UNIQUE constraint, which may
or may not be a PRIMARY KEY. So restricting to a PRIMARY KEY will cause
you to miss relationships.

What exactly are you looking for?
