How can I get information whether any column is primary key or don't through automation API?

Look for an Operation with stereotype «PK»

The parameters should be the columns in the key.

Sorry fo stupid question. Where can I found Operation ?

While the EA UI calls them Operations, via the API they are in the Methods collection. Remember that you want the Element, not the DiagramObject, which is the thing you see on a diagram. If you've got the DiagramObject you can get a pointer to the actual element from it's ElementID property. Use this in the Repository.GetElementByID call to return the element itself.

Sorry about that.

Columns use the Attributes collection of the parent element.
