Thanks for reply.
1. Yes. I really need multicolumn primary keys, because I have such DB scheme and I think there's no way out.
Suppose you have a bug with many legs: BUG(id(pk), name)---*LEG(bug_id(pk1), leg_number(pk2), length)
Is there another possible method to do such scheme? One-to-many relationship.
2. I'm using MySQL 4.x. Transactions is not too much concern me, cause I'll have only one SELECT'er and only one INSERT'er in my DB. Autocommit will satisfy me, I suppose. Maybe later I'll switch to MyISAM engine.
Referental integrity is not to shoot myself in foot, while filling mapped structure and then saving it into DB. But I think relationships (many-to-one, one-to-may, one-to-one) is sufficient.
