Jetspeed Schema Primary Keys and Foreign Key Indexes
----------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JS2-1217
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JS2-1217
             Project: Jetspeed 2
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 2.2.2
         Environment: Jetspeed RDBMS schema
            Reporter: Randy Watler
            Assignee: Randy Watler


Cleaning up Jetspeed schema correctness issues:

1. Ensure that all tables have a primary key. This is required for DB 
replication in Oracle and is generally considered a best practice.

2. Add indexes for foreign key join columns. This is also considered a best 
practice, especially when cascade operations are enabled. If a foreign key join 
column is not indexed, a full table scan may be required for delete and/or 
updates, effectively resulting in a table level lock. These locks are a common 
source of deadlock in the DB for concurrent operations.

3. Remove foreign key cascaded definitions for the Registry schema. This is 
done since this schema is not in normal form and integrity cannot be enforced 
universally using foreign key constraints. Delete and update operation cascades 
are performed programmatically by OJB. By removing the odd foreign key 
definition that were in place, this schema will be defined consistently.
