Well then, that's not an FK.
That's just two columns that the 'duhsigner' is copying to some
other table, presenting a nice little update anomaly.
You can soon expect different programs to return different answers
from the database, depending on which table the data is
queried from.

Subject: Design question.
We have a designer that is adding a FK on two columns from one table to
another. These two columns are not in the parent table's primary key.
So we are kind of scratching our heads wondering if you can, from a proper
design point of view, create such a FK? It appears that if you update one
of the two columns in the child table then you would need to create a new
record in the parent table.
Thoughts??
