There's a property you can set to tell IBO you don't want the KeyLinks
automatically defined for you. If you don't set the KeyLinks property then
IBO will do its best to find a way to uniquely identify each record of the
output. Set KeyLinksAutoDefine to false and it won't introduce the DB_KEY
column for those purposes.
