Your life will be easier if you call
jr_context.set_workarea( &your_workarea_name ); before you start looking at the ci_* tables. That will make only one version of each object visible at a time. I'm not familiar with the PK and PK items parts off the top of my head so I can't directly answer your problem, but this may help.
Open the design editor, find a PK, hit F4 to open the properties palette, then hit F5. You'll get a dialog box that tells you the table and irid for that item. It also has buttons to open up MODEL and API help. You'll want model, which will open an html document describing your ci_* table as well as any links to it or from it. I'd expect primary keys to have a link from ci_columns. andrewst wrote:
