Re: Add Foreign Keys To Table

To do what you want to do look up "CREATE INDEX" in the documentation.

You may wish to provide the PK/FK schema for the tables in questions as it
appears - at first take - that you are doing something wrong If you have a
compound Primary Key with component fields that are also "UNIQUE".

You probably need to add "BOTH" fields to "station_information" and then say
something like.

FOREIGN KEY (field1, field2) REFERENCES table (field1, field2) ...

   OK. Now I understand. How, then, do I add a unique constraint to each
component of the composite key so I can add them as foreign keys to the
station_information table? Or, is there another way to add those two columns
to station_information and then add the foreign key constraints?

Thanks for clarifying,

Rich
