That could get me hurt. Besides, it's kind of like religion -- can't trash people on their choice of pk God. :) But I agree on the rest. I've always used AutoNumbers. I've only written about using natural -- never experienced it myself -- kind of like camping. I know other people do it... Susan H. Thank you Lambert. I have used autonumbers for EVERY SINGLE PK in EVERY SINGLE database I have ever designed (and that is a LOT of databases) and have NEVER, even ONCE had to modify my PK, chase down FKs, add new fields to my PK/FK etc. EVER, even ONCE. How many users of natural keys can say that? There is no debate, just silly people who do silly things. -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com -------------- next part -------------- The contents of this message and any attachments are the property of Donns Solicitors and are intended for the confidential use of the named recipient only.
