you can check for primary key constraints using:

select table_name, constraint_name  from user_constraints where
constraint_type = 'P'

the orm will need to know the primary keys, but if they do not exist
in the schema, you can set them when you reflect the table

t = Table('t1',
 meta,
 Column('id', Integer, primary_key=True),
 autoload=True)
