It's been a while so please help me wrap my head around this.
I want to use updateable remote views against a sql backend that has compound integer keys on some of its tables.
In this case I have a remote view that joins Product_in_Future_Change with Product on Product_id.
But Future_change_id and product_id make up a compound key on PFC, which is the table will be updating.
For purposes of pulling data to be updated with this view I want all the records with a FC_id ( ie. for all products )
Of course I will not be changing the prod_id in the record
When I save to the backend from this view, does the sql passthrough that gets sent know I am using the compound key in order to match my record with the record on the backend?
(It would seem they should but in the past I have always been able to design my own schema and I hold as an article of faith that compound keys are almost as evil as non-surrogate keys )
TIA

Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.

Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
