doc_id is not a PK. An accurate model of the table would be:
set_primary_key nil
But the PG postgres adapter is unhappy with that because it's
generating something like:
  INSERT into the_table VALUES (val1, val2...) RETURNING pk
when pk is nil the postgres adapter is unhappy.
For some reason the composite_primary_keys plugin fixes the problem
(as only a single PK is specified).
To me the problem is the PG adapter. I don't know why it uses
RETURNING in its INSERT statement.
