Hi all,

I started using sqlalchemy (python ORM) that works really well but fails
detecting Primary and Foreign key other than for owner or
superusers. Sqlalchemy queries the information schema with the following query
that returns nothing if you are connected as a user with no particular
privileges: 

SELECT 
  table_constraints.constraint_name ,
  table_constraints.constraint_type ,
  table_constraints.table_name ,
  key_column_usage.table_schema ,
  key_column_usage.table_name ,
  key_column_usage.column_name ,
  key_column_usage.constraint_name ,
  constraint_column_usage.table_schema ,
  constraint_column_usage.table_name ,
  constraint_column_usage.column_name ,
  constraint_column_usage.constraint_name 

FROM information_schema.table_constraints 
  JOIN information_schema.constraint_column_usage ON
   constraint_column_usage.constraint_name = table_constraints.constraint_name 
  JOIN  information_schema.key_column_usage ON
   key_column_usage.constraint_name = constraint_column_usage.constraint_name

WHERE table_constraints.table_name = 'my_table'
  AND table_constraints.table_schema = 'public' ;

If you use '\d mytable' you get these information correctly so that there's
no reason to deny the same info from information_schema, correct?

Looking at how '\d' returns the information I always used a different query
(look here http://www.sqlalchemy.org/trac/ticket/71) that is not using
information_schema, but sqlalchemy would prefere to stick to the more
standard information_schema.  What would you guys suggest in this case?

Thanks in advance
