Hi,

I have a little problem. My customer wants a table with his articles (approximatly 100.000 records). The problem is : for some articles , there is no article number. I was planning to design a table with Article_ID as the primary key. So it won't work anymore. Now, I guess I have to use a surrogate key, with numbers generated by a generator. Isn't that a little bit wasted space ? That field doesn't have really a meaning, but I think it's the only way do do it ?

Thanks, Nico
