So, D'Arcy's solution, although described as 'unsatisfactory' (ref.:
D'Arcy's message), seem to be the only solution.

So I noticed I was trying to play the wise man, trying to do things in a
better way, but nothing was found than D'Arcy's query:

SELECT pg_namespace.nspname, pg_class.relname,pg_attribute.attname
  FROM pg_class
JOIN pg_namespace ON pg_namespace.oid=pg_class.relnamespace AND
    pg_namespace.nspname NOT LIKE 'pg_%' AND pg_class.relname like 'sip_%'
JOIN pg_attribute ON pg_attribute.attrelid=pg_class.oid AND
    pg_attribute.attisdropped='f'
JOIN pg_index ON pg_index.indrelid=pg_class.oid AND
    pg_index.indisprimary='t' AND  
    (
      pg_index.indkey[0]=pg_attribute.attnum OR
      pg_index.indkey[1]=pg_attribute.attnum OR
      pg_index.indkey[2]=pg_attribute.attnum OR
      pg_index.indkey[3]=pg_attribute.attnum OR
      pg_index.indkey[4]=pg_attribute.attnum OR
      pg_index.indkey[5]=pg_attribute.attnum OR
      pg_index.indkey[6]=pg_attribute.attnum OR
      pg_index.indkey[7]=pg_attribute.attnum OR
      pg_index.indkey[8]=pg_attribute.attnum OR
      pg_index.indkey[9]=pg_attribute.attnum
    )
ORDER BY pg_namespace.nspname, pg_class.relname,pg_attribute.attname;

Roger Tannous.
