Some databases don't allow tables without a unique or primary key,
for the database that do, there is usually a unique rowidentifier for that
particular row.
Another way of looking at it is that all the columns together are the
primary key.

Hello All,
   I have a question on Entity Beans and table mapping. If there is a table
with no primary key (none of the columns are unique and non null), how can
one
write an entity bean that maps to that table? Basically,  I am not sure
about
writing an entity bean with no key fields. Is that possible? In which case
what about the PrimaryKey class?
Would be grateful for any suggestions.
Thanks and Regards
Amaresh
