Could you give me some example then how to replace
gda_column_set_primary_key() in V4? I have checked the API of
GdaMetaStore and GdaMetaStruct but it's not obvious to me how that
should work.

gda_column_set_primary_key() only positionned a boolean to TRUE. If what you need is to set a boolean and then later test that boolean, you can use the g_object_set/get_data() as a replacement.

If you are talking about gda_column_get_primary_key(), to obtain information about a table's column, then you can have a look at the example at http://library.gnome.org/devel/libgda/3.99/howto-meta1.html

You can also have a look at the set_column_properties_from_select_stmt() function in the gda-data-select.c which determines some attributes for the columns of a data model resulting of the execution of a SELECT statement.
