Well, a simple way was to have a   table_1-foreign key  in the table 2.
I just thought since there is:

table_1  <--1:n--  table_x  <--1:n-- table_2

and I hoped not having to add
table_1  <--1:n-- table_2
just to have uniquness of an attribute of table_2 and the key of table_1

That is more efford than to stuff the column into table_2.


Thanks anyway   ;)
