In French, we pronounce "S Q L" (with French way to pronounce each character).

If we pronounce "Sequel" it's sound like "séquelle" that means "after-effects".

Andy,

you wrote : "If the column was published,[...] you'd have to [..] remove the column from the article...".

I propose :

select column_name

from information_schema.key_column_usage

where table_name = ...
