AGREED!!

>>>To me, it seems that Mr. Celko's primary objection to identity columns is
more on philosophical grounds; it breaks the model of entities and their
attributes to some degree. However, being a pragmatist, I'm not too worried
about that. The advantages it buys me (not having to determine natural
primary keys, not having to deal with changes to values of natural primary
keys, not having to export a bunch of columns to foreign key tables) are
worth the damage to the SQL conceptual model.
