Jim,

I've been naming my primary index PRIMARY since I can rememeber and I've never had a single problem doing so.

I've done things like SET ORDER TO PRIMARY and INDEX ON accountid TAG PRIMARY without suffering any consequences. Although I can see your point, maybe a better tag name would be PRIMARYKEY or something.
