DF_FILE_PRIMARY_INDEX¶

Applies to: ORAFlex SQLFlex MYSQLFlex PGFlex DB2Flex

This attribute gets or sets the index which is used as the primary key for a table. The variable used for this attribute is an integer containing the numbered index used. Getting the value of this attribute can be done at any time, whereas setting can only be done at table creation or during a Structure_Start. If a RECNUM is used as the unique identifier then 0 is returned.

Note: In Postgres this attribute is ReadOnly, so it can only be used to get the index used as the primary key.
