As noted, this is not supported. As a side note, albeit an unhelpful one, it should be pointed out that databases in third normal form with tables having simple (single column) primary keys, are automatically in fifth normal form. You can read the proof, if you like. Everyone who is serious about database design should read this paper.

How this applies to your work is obvious: with simple primary keys, your problem is solved. Of course, this also makes updating and deleting data a snap. It also simplifies lookup tables tremendously. I wish more DBAs knew about this.
