Why not change the keys that currently connect them to something different (i.e. random noise) and make a NEW table that could join them with those random keys that is restriced access wise to only the chosen few.
This might work rather nicely. It would enable us to restrict direct access to only a single table---a table with no purpose other than to faciliate a join of these two other tables. And staff that needs direct access to the original tables can continue to have it.
Or do you need to actually ever re-reference the two datasets? If not, then just lose the connecting data when you insert the rows.
Yes, unfortunately we do need to re-reference them. But I think the idea above will work out pretty well. Thank you for your help!
