Hi all,
I am wandering about the pros and cons of creating a separate serial field
for a primary key when I already have a single unique field. This existing
unique field will have to be a character of fixed length (VARCHAR(12))
because although it's a numeric value there will be leading zeroes. There
are a couple more tables with similar unique fields and one of them would
need to reference the others. Does anybody see any good reason for adding a
separate autoincrement primary key field for each table? or either way is
not a big deal.
Sally
