RE: What columns are in the Primary Key

Could also try

select * from user_ind_columns where index_name = 'PK_ACCOUNTS'

use user_cons_columns:

SQL> desc user_cons_columns

 Name                            Null?    Type
 ------------------------------- -------- ----
 OWNER                           NOT NULL VARCHAR2(30)
 CONSTRAINT_NAME                 NOT NULL VARCHAR2(30)
 TABLE_NAME                      NOT NULL VARCHAR2(30)
 COLUMN_NAME                     NOT NULL VARCHAR2(30)
 POSITION                                 NUMBER

SQL> select constraint_name , table_name, column_name from user_cons_columns ord
er by constraint_name;

Above query is crude, but effective...
