hi there,
i have the following joining table (many-to-many relationship)...
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[products_to_products_swatch] (
[products_to_products_swatch_id] [int] IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT FOR REPLICATION NOT NULL ,
[product_id] [int] NOT NULL ,
[products_swatch_id] [int] NOT NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO
question: do i need to include a primary key in this table - being that it is a joing table?
thanks
mikejoing table ? i mean joining table :o)|||If this is simply implementing a many-to-many join, then there is no need for a surrogate key. Just declare a composite primary key consisting of the foreign keys to both tables.
If you are storing additional information regarding the relationship (timestamp, notes, modifier, whatever) you may want to include a surrogate key for developmental consistency with your other tables, but it is not required.
