Option

Description

Display foreign key as

If the database field contains a foreign key to another table, use the Display Foreign Key As option to specify which field in the foreign key table to display.

<Display column value>.  If this is selected, then the field value (foreign key value) is displayed rather than a selected field from the joined table.

Note: Iron Speed Designer does not support setting Display Foreign Key As for composite foreign keys or composite virtual foreign keys.  Only single, non-composite foreign keys may be used.

Virtual foreign keys

Specifies one-to-many relationships between related database tables and views that are not explicitly defined in the database.

For additional information, see: Adding Virtual Foreign Key Relationships.

Virtual primary key

Specifies whether the field should be treated as if it were a primary key for the table or view.  Zero or more fields may be selected which collectively comprise the primary key of the table (a composite key).

For additional information, see: Adding Virtual Primary Key Relationships.
