Hi all,

I'm using SQL Server 2008 Express Edition. Just wondering is it valid for me to assign non-primary key column from the primary key table in the Foreign Key Relationship Dialog? Will it lead to any problem?

Thanks,

John Lam

Does't make any problem whether your design is good.

No problem. There's nothing special about a "primary" key. Any other candidate key will do just as well.
