I've been doing this kind of compound primary key when needing to combine satellite databases into a central database. So the first column is the database id (actually MySQL server_id), and the second column is the autonumber column. When combined with MySQL replication, you have a fairly straight-forward way to have parallel independent remote databases (think retail stores) and a central database. -- Lloyd Kvam Venix Corp --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sqlalchemy" group.
