RE: the idea of unique primary keys to be a solution that hasoutlived its usefulness?

Unique keys have thier place, and yes, you are... uh, I mean.. your ideas
are weird.  <g>

Maybe I'm misunderstanding your position on unique keys, but I can't think
of a single reason for not having a unique key on a customer master file
that a separate address file wouldn't solve. and I'd always want to be able
to randomly access, reference and select a particular address record by a
static key field (seq# or type for instance - i would lean towards seq
number for key, type as informational).

I am curious if i am alone on my thoughts about unique keys.  If there is a
very loud silence we will know that unique keys is the answer.  Is there
other ways to have various addresses without using defined record types as
part of the key.
