I would tell it this way maybe:

ResultSet.setPrimaryKeys(String[] pks);

After this the driver should trust me and simply go on.

Now how do i know about the primary keys? Well - i can whether define a
certain naming scheme for my application
-or-
am more nice and general solution would be to massage postgres
system-catalogues until i get a view containing the primary keys of a view.

The "algorithm" is easily written, but not as easy to do, i know...

If we would end up with a select-statement which holds all the primary keys of
all tables used in a view (recursively) with their alias-names it would just
be the right thing. Yes? No?

So it looks now...
