I don't know much about RoR. How does RoR keep you from creating
a multi-column key on an SQLite table?

In point of fact, it doesn't prevent me from *creating* a multi-
column key, just from using it effectively. It's just that Rails'
implementation of ActiveRecord doesn't understand multi-column PKs.
As you might suspect, ActiveRecord handles the relationships between
records, and that's a lot easier when PKs and FKs are single-column
and follow a reasonable naming convention.
At any rate, Dr. Hipp's suggestion of the AFTER INSERT trigger was
exactly what I needed. Thanks!
