Re: Finding largest key in Oracle using SQL commands?

I am not clear on "Finding largest key". You state "in the database" which makes me think you are talking about all tables. If you are talking about the largest number of columns in a primary key, maybe this will work:

select table_name, count(*)
from all_ind_columns
where index_name in (select constraint_name from all_constraints where constraint_type='P' )
group by table_name
order by count(*) desc
