Jun 10, 2016 I think that the primary key absence would only affect some features like caching or whatever. Long term I'd guess if there is no primary key, or if the key contains multiple fields, you can just have the system generate its own such thing in memory composed of the combination of all the fields, maybe produce a unique hash code from them.

Primary Key Generation Using Oracle's Sequence

So, there is a way to make this script in SQL Server Manager and avoid the field with the primary key? I set to false all properties (primary, unique, etc), but the script is still sending this field (For e.g., RecID 1, 2, 3, etc). I'm using SQL Server 2012. Kind regards, Any solution (except for remove it with Notepad) is preciated.
Using SQL Server Management Studio. To create a primary key. In Object Explorer, right-click the table to which you want to add a unique constraint, and click Design. In Table Designer, click the row selector for the database column you want to define as the primary key.
A table can have one and only one primary key. It is a good practice to add a primary key to every table. When you add a primary key to a table, PostgreSQL creates a unique B-tree index on the column or a group of columns used to define the primary key. Define primary key when creating the table.

Oracle provides the sequence utility to automatically generate unique primary keys. To use this utility to auto-generate primary keys for a CMP entity bean, you must create a sequence table and use the @AutomaticKeyGeneration annotation to point to this table.

In your Oracle database, you must create a sequence table that will create the primary keys, as shown in the following example:

This creates a sequences of primary key values, starting with 1, followed by 2, 3, and so forth. The sequence table in the example uses the default increment 1, but you can change this by specifying the increment keyword, such as increment by 3. When you do the latter, you must specify the exact same value in the cacheSize attribute of the @AutomaticKeyGeneration annotation:

If you have specified automatic table creation in the CMP bean's project settings, the sequence table will be created automatically when the entity bean is deployed. For more information, see @JarSettings Annotation. For more information on the definition of a CMP entity bean, see below.

Primary Key Generation Using SQL Server's IDENTITY

In SQL Server you can use the IDENTITY keyword to indicate that a primary-key needs to be auto-generated. The following example shows a common scenario where the first primary key value is 1, and the increment is 1:

In the CMP entity bean definition you need to specify SQLServer(2000) as the type of automatic key generator you are using. You can also provide a cache size:

Primary Key Generation Using a Named Sequence Table

A named sequence table is similar to the Oracle sequence functionality in that a dedicated table is used to generate primary keys. However, the named sequence table approach is vendor-neutral. To auto-generate primary keys this way, create a named sequence table using the two SQL statements shown in the example:

In the CMP entity bean definition you need to specify the named sequence table as the type of automatic key generator you are using. You can also provide a cache size:

Note. When you specify a cacheSize value for a named sequence table, a series of unique values are reserved for entity bean creation. When a new cache is necessary, a second series of unique values is reserved, under the assumption that the first series of unique values was entirely used. This guarantees that primary key values are always unique, although it leaves open the possibility that primary key values are not necessarily sequential. For instance, when the first series of values is 10..20, the second series of values is 21-30, even if not all values in the first series were actually used to create entity beans.

Defining the CMP Entity Bean

When defining a CMP entity bean that uses one of the primary key generators, you use the the @AutomaticKeyGeneration annotation to point to the name of the primary key generator table to obtain primary keys. Also, you must define a primary key field of type Integer or Long to set and get the auto-generated primary key. However, the ejbCreate method does not take a primary key value as an argument. Instead the EJB container adds the correct primary key to the entity bean record.

The following example shows what the entity bean might look like. Notice that the bean uses the named sequence option described above, and that ejbCreate method does not take a primary key:

Limitations and Restrictions

A table can contain only one PRIMARY KEY constraint.
All columns defined within a PRIMARY KEY constraint must be defined as NOT NULL. If nullability is not specified, all columns participating in a PRIMARY KEY constraint have their nullability set to NOT NULL.

Security

Permissions

Creating a new table with a primary key requires CREATE TABLE permission in the database and ALTER permission on the schema in which the table is being created.

Creating a primary key in an existing table requires ALTER permission on the table.

Using SQL Server Management Studio

To create a primary key

In Object Explorer, right-click the table to which you want to add a unique constraint, and click Design.
In Table Designer, click the row selector for the database column you want to define as the primary key. If you want to select multiple columns, hold down the CTRL key while you click the row selectors for the other columns.
Right-click the row selector for the column and select Set Primary Key.

Caution

If you want to redefine the primary key, any relationships to the existing primary key must be deleted before the new primary key can be created. A message will warn you that existing relationships will be automatically deleted as part of this process.

Generate Table Of Contents

A primary key column is identified by a primary key symbol in its row selector.

If a primary key consists of more than one column, duplicate values are allowed in one column, but each combination of values from all the columns in the primary key must be unique.

If you define a compound key, the order of columns in the primary key matches the order of columns as shown in the table. However, you can change the order of columns after the primary key is created. For more information, see Modify Primary Keys.
