One Primary Key vs. Two
Posted by: Malcolm Wardlaw

Are there any performance benefits from having a key that is a single column, vs. a key of two columns?

In other words, if your data has a natural key of two columns, is there any performance benefit from combining the numbers in some way to create a single key column vs. just specifying a two column key?

Thanks
