Hi Chris:
Just tried that and I still get the identical error. If it makes any difference, I've tried this with both Derby & Postgres - with the same results. I'm wondering if it is possible to do this? If not, its ok, I can work around it. But it would be nice to know and document if it is a restriction.

Thanks again for you suggestions.
Ruth

Hi Chis:
I did not try that - due to my ignorance of how to
read an xsd. However, I just tried it and I get the following error (from the error log) while OFBiz attempts to create the new entity, on startup:

   Getting Table Info From Database
   17327 (main) [       DatabaseUtil.java:356:WARN
] Entity [cdrdata]
   has no table in the database
17377 (main) [ DatabaseUtil.java:364:ERROR] Could not create
   table [public.CDRDATA]: SQL Exception while
executing the following:
   CREATE TABLE public.CDRDATA (CALL_SN SERIAL,
CORRELATION_ID INT4,
   ....[left some of the field defs out]...
MATCHED_FLAG CHAR(1),
   CONSTRAINT PK_CDRDATA PRIMARY KEY ())
   Error was: java.sql.SQLException: ERROR: syntax
error at or near ")"

This is the same error I was getting when I had no
prim-key element. The only thing that makes this go "away" is to set one of the fields to a primary key field. Since I'm trying to mimic a real life database table that has no primary key, (mostly for off-line testing of my application), it would be desirable not to have a primary key field. I'm just wondering if I forgot to set something else -
somewhere else?

Thanks for your suggestion. I learned something new
and I think I'll go back and try to understand how the xsd can help me troubleshoot future problems.

Regards,
Ruth

Did you try defining it as an empty prim-key group?

ie  <prim-key field=""/>

As far as the entitymodel.xsd, "prim-key" is a
required element and the attribute "field" is
required

Hello All:
Is this possible: can I create an entity without a
primary key?

TIA
