<P>The RDB DAS provides the ability to work with single-column keys as well as keys composed of multiple columns (<A href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compound_key" class="external-link" rel="nofollow">compound keys</A>). RDB DAS clients can specify the primary key for a table as well as foreign keys that reference other tables. The primary key for a table can be identified to the DAS via configuration (typically via a configuration xml file). The following is an example config file that defines a compound primary key:</P>
<DIV class="preformatted panel" style="border-width: 1px;"><DIV class="preformattedContent panelContent">
<PRE>&lt;Config xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation=&quot;http:///org.apache.tuscany.das.rdb/config.xsd&quot; xmlns:xsi=&quot;http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance&quot;&gt;

      &lt;Table tableName=&quot;ORDERDETAILS&quot;&gt;
         &lt;Column columnName=&quot;ORDERID&quot; primaryKey=&quot;true&quot;/&gt;
         &lt;Column columnName=&quot;PRODUCTID&quot; primaryKey=&quot;true&quot;/&gt;
      &lt;/Table&gt;

   &lt;/Config&gt;
</PRE>
</DIV></DIV>
<P>Relationships between tables are in terms of primary keys and foreign keys and so foreign keys can also be compound. The following example illustrates a relationship using a compound foreign key:</P>
<DIV class="preformatted panel" style="border-width: 1px;"><DIV class="preformattedContent panelContent">
<PRE>&lt;Config xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation=&quot;http:///org.apache.tuscany.das.rdb/config.xsd&quot; xmlns:xsi=&quot;http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance&quot;&gt;

      &lt;Table tableName=&quot;ORDERDETAILS&quot;&gt;
         &lt;Column columnName=&quot;ORDERID&quot; primaryKey=&quot;true&quot;/&gt;
         &lt;Column columnName=&quot;PRODUCTID&quot; primaryKey=&quot;true&quot;/&gt;
      &lt;/Table&gt;

      &lt;Table tableName=&quot;ORDERDETAILSDESC&quot;&gt;
         &lt;Column columnName=&quot;ID&quot; primaryKey=&quot;true&quot;/&gt;
      &lt;/Table&gt;

      &lt;Relationship name=&quot;orderDetailsDesc&quot; primaryKeyTable=&quot;ORDERDETAILS&quot;
                     foriegnKeyTable=&quot;ORDERDETAILSDESC&quot; many=&quot;true&quot;&gt;
         &lt;KeyPair primaryKeyColumn=&quot;ORDERID&quot; foriegnKeyColumn=&quot;ORDERID&quot;  /&gt;
         &lt;KeyPair primaryKeyColumn=&quot;PRODUCTID&quot; foreignKeyColumn=&quot;PRODUCTID&quot; /&gt;
      &lt;/Relationship&gt;
   &lt;/Config&gt;
