Add primary key to table
You can add a primary key to a table with alter an alter table statement:
Table with no primary key:
create table no_pks (id int generated by default as identity not null);
insert into no_pks select from generate_series(0,999);
[local] dillon@dillon=# \d no_pks
Table "public.no_pks"
Column | Type | Collation | Nullable | Default
--------+---------+-----------+----------+----------------------------------
id | integer | | not null | generated by default as identity
You can add it later:
alter table no_pks add primary key (id);
[local] dillon@dillon=# \d no_pks
Table "public.no_pks"
Column | Type | Collation | Nullable | Default
--------+---------+-----------+----------+----------------------------------
id | integer | | not null | generated by default as identity
Indexes:
"no_pks_pkey" PRIMARY KEY, btree (id)
