In my universe I have object A based on stored proc. and object B on a table. I am trying to add a key to object B so that I can use this object to generate lov with key and value pairs. I was able to set the key on the same object when I tried that in another universe which does not have sotre proc. based objects. Is it possible to get around this limitation?

Intrigued as well, especially by the index awareness bit. I try to use it in my work, but currently i'm designing on top of a database which has many tables with a multicolumn primary key. And i can't get it to work. Do you have any idea of what to do in this case? Thanks, Tijl Hi Dave, i saw your presentation in Berlin earlier this year, and was fascinated by it.

What I had to do was hand-type (or paste) the information directly into the keys screen rather than using the [...] button. Try this... when you get to the keys screen, click the [...] button and select the appropriate key value. But then copy that SQL code using Ctrl-C. When you get back to the keys page, it will not be set. Paste the code you just copied with Ctrl-V and see if it "takes" then. Yes, in fact I ran into that when I built my presentation.

After entering it just does not show my input, like nothing ever happened. It seems to be the software since all universes have that problem (BO XIr2, Designer version 11.5.0.0). I heard about problems with outer joins on tables and there are some in my main universe but as I said also other universes show this problem. You ever come across this situation? Any help is appreciated. Dave, I have come across the situation that I cannot enter keys in the Keys tab of the object definition window.

From my observations (and I will admit I have not used this feature much) a star schema is one of the less useful configurations for this feature. A snowflake or - as you suggest - a transactional model seem to work better just because there are more opportunities for indexes. Stay tuned for more in this series. :) Andreas, I will mention that fact in a few posts.
