About Primary and Foreign Key Relationships

Siebel OLE DB Provider supports Primary and Foreign Keys for creating links between Siebel business components in a Siebel business object. With Siebel OLE DB Provider, you will be able to determine the relationships between business objects. Different OLE DB consumers may use this feature in different ways. For example, Microsoft Access shows Primary and Foreign Keys in a tree pane. You can use this information to build queries that use relationships between business objects.

NOTE:  A Primary Key is a set of fields where there is more than one available key field that can establish a relationship, but only one of the keys is chosen by the DBA to be the Primary Key. A Foreign Key is a field whose values are keys in another relationship.
