I need a suggestion. I need a two-column primary key that does not depend on the order of the entries. That is, for the purposes of the key:

PKColA     PKColB
foo            bar
bar            foo

What about a unique functional index which would return some sort of ordered representation of this along with NOT NULL constraints?

I don't know if you can do it as a simple primary key, but you can probably get unique functional indexes to do the main work for you.
