If the relationship is mandatory, I'd use the PK.

As in propagate PK? That does not work in this case because there can be A rows that do not have any related B rows.

Or did you mean something else?

Yes, that is what I was thinking of. If it is not really a to- many, why not put the PK of B into A as a FK?

That would just reverse the situation into A <<-> B, no? What I need to is an enforced A <-> B, and in that B -> A is mandatory, and A -> B as optional.


I was thinking more of having A and B each have the other PK as a FK. Though this may irritate EOF when it tries to look up inverse relationships. You can tell EOF what to do by implementing String inverseForRelationshipKey(String relationshipKey) on A and B.
