Defining your schema and having the database engine enforce key  
integrity has its advantages and disadvantages. You'll probably want  
to continue to learn about the issues regarding telling mySQL about  
foreign keys.

Always, always have an auto-incremented ID field for every table. Its  
a simple, fool-proof way to steer clear of the collisions that can  
come from complex/compound primary keys.
