How to get primary key of table?
A better way is to use SHOW KEYS
since you don't always have access to information_schema. The following works:
SHOW KEYS FROM table WHERE Key_name = 'PRIMARY'
Column_name will contain the name of the primary key.
SELECT kcu.column_name, kcu.ordinal_position
FROM information_schema.table_constraints tc
INNER JOIN information_schema.key_column_usage kcu
ON tc.CONSTRAINT_CATALOG = kcu.CONSTRAINT_CATALOG
AND tc.CONSTRAINT_SCHEMA = kcu.CONSTRAINT_SCHEMA
AND tc.CONSTRAINT_NAME = kcu.CONSTRAINT_NAME
WHERE tc.table_schema = schema() -- only look in the current schema
AND tc.constraint_type = 'PRIMARY KEY'
AND tc.table_name = '<your-table-name>' -- specify your table.
ORDER BY kcu.ordinal_position
Here is the Primary key Column Name
SELECT k.column_name
FROM information_schema.table_constraints t
JOIN information_schema.key_column_usage k
USING(constraint_name,table_schema,table_name)
WHERE t.constraint_type='PRIMARY KEY'
AND t.table_schema='YourDatabase'
AND t.table_name='YourTable';
