I have a Department Table.
Can any one tell me its Primary Key.
I have the order
AutoNumber, D + AutoNumber, Code,
Can you help me regarding this.
Because some people never like to use AutoNumber.
That's why I am confused.
I'm not sure what it is you're trying to find out. Please post again.|||I have to choose the Primary Key for Department Table.
Common way to choose AutoNumber.
But some people do not prefer AutoNumber.
Do you suggest it or not?
|||You're right, there is a school of thought which does not approve of using autonumber to generate the primary field on a table. I have in the past used Autonumbers and have never had any problems with them when used as a key field.
As long as the key field doesn't have any relationship to the data within the record (other than to uniquely identify it) then it will be alright.
