Subj:		Primary Key

From:		Narayan Murthy

Why does the "Primary key" keyword vanish from the table definition, when a SHOW TABLE is run? Is this okay?

     BTEQ -- Enter your DBC/SQL request or BTEQ command:
     ct t1(a int not null primary key, b int);

     ct t1(a int not null primary key, b int);

      *** Table has been created.
      *** Total elapsed time was 1 second.


      BTEQ -- Enter your DBC/SQL request or BTEQ command:
     show table t1;

     show table t1;

      *** Text of DDL statement returned.
      *** Total elapsed time was 1 second.

     -----------------------------------------------------
     CREATE SET TABLE CHK.t1 ,NO FALLBACK ,
          NO BEFORE JOURNAL,
          NO AFTER JOURNAL,
          CHECKSUM = DEFAULT
          (
           a INTEGER NOT NULL,
           b INTEGER)
     UNIQUE PRIMARY INDEX ( a );

I know that what gets displayed ultimately translates to "primary key" definition - but should this happen?
