#1175: Enhance dCursorMixin to support (1) editable and (2) compound primary
keys
--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
Reporter: aecker | Owner: somebody
Type: enhancement | Status: closed
Priority: major | Milestone: 0.8.3
Component: db | Version: 0.8.4
Resolution: invalid | Keywords: editable multiple compound pk
--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
Changes (by ed):
* status: new => closed
* resolution: => invalid
Comment:
Compund PKs are supported in Dabo. The docstring of KeyField in dBizobj
reads: "Name of field that is the PK. If multiple fields make up the key,
separate the fields with commas".
What is *not* supported, and never will be, are modifiable PK values. This
makes no sense at all, since there is no way to tie a record in a
recordset with its source in the database.
I would strongly recommend an internal, hidden PK for database usage,
along with a visible, editable candidate key for the benefit of the human
beings who interact with this data.
