In a relationship between tables, I need to allow use of existing columns as destination target of my foreign key columns. Right now, when a user create a relationship between two tables, he should select kind: from fk or from uk ( and which?) and the fk columns are created in an automatic way at destination table.
This new feature will require a mapping between this new fk columns and existing columns, allowing user to choose which fk columns will create an automatic column at destination table, and which column will use a existing column as fk. My question is how to do this process, I suggest two ways: (1) User create a relationship between (dragging mouse) and when he drop relationship end instead of creating automatic fk, a new dialog starts a allow user to choose the mapping between each column in fk at destination table between two options: choose an existing column, create an automatic one. (2) User create a relationship between (dragging mouse) and when he drop relationship all fk columns are automatically created, if user wants to mapping a fk from a new automatic column or to an existing column, he should select an option from right click to allow bring a dialog as described above to do this mapping. Dialog in both cases will be like: [origin fk column 1] select mapping between [ automatic fk col and an existing column ] [origin fk column 2] select mapping between [ automatic fk col and an existing column ] ... Any suggestions or advices are welcome. Regards, Luis.
