A query such as the following may help:
SELECT nspname, conrelid::regclass::name, conname
FROM pg_constraint c
JOIN pg_namespace ON (connamespace = pg_namespace.oid)
LEFT JOIN pg_class on (conname = relname)
WHERE (nspname != 'pg_catalog' AND nspname != 'information_schema')
AND contype = 'p'
ORDER BY nspname, 2, conname;
The first column is the schema name, the second the table name and the
third the constraint (primary key) name.
