Oya definitely.  I didn't mean overwriting one of the existing ones, sorry
for the confusion.  There are 8 columns now, so the new one would make sense

in column 1 and push the current columns 1-8 over to columns 2-9.

Separate column please, don't make me parse it out of an existing one.. that's my opinion. As to what the keys are, I don't care, just as long as they are unique. However, as I have pontificated before, you are right. The primary key should be (...) (25 years ago, 28-Dec-99, to lugnet.admin.database)
