Re: the idea of unique primary keys to be a solution that has outlived its usefulness?

 
The UNIQUE keyword does work, no doubt about it. Its probably just my bad
luck that too often theres been a need for more than one identically keyed
primary record, and then we have to go back and add in the Seq. # field to
keep the uniqueness.
 
It isn't religion for me but I don't define a unique key anymore unless told
to.

Why do you feel that way Booth?
