Correct. I think that's documented somewhere, but I can't find it... > Furthermore, the manager I have the class automatically create still works for > what I want to do even though the primary key is not at all uniquer. The Manager uses the PK to know how to attach related objects when you use the require_objects or with_objects arguments. Furthermore, calling load(), save(), or delete() on an object with a "fake" (or otherwise inaccurate) primary key may cause strange/harmful things to happen, such has deleting many rows at once. -John ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
