Yes, I will be removing the redundant 'complete' key.

The 'tracking_number' key was assigned VARCHAR due to the data being alphanumeric with some symbols. Now for the size, that was just a default I selected but it can realistically be reduced to 75. UTF8 was chosen to keep everything standard across the databases, web applications and PC/Mobile applications. After doing more reading, I assume you posed this question because of the single byte vs. multi byte causing an increase in size? You have stumped me on the surrogate key question. Maybe due to my lack of understanding, I do not know where or how this could assist.

Looked at reference and will be making some tweaks.

After seeing what a difference being exact on data types can do for indexes, I will be reviewing and adjusting the data type database wide.

Thank you.
