[Bucardo-general] Multi-column PKey

[Preston A. Elder]

This worked, however it's a REAL pain, considering it involves:

ALTER TABLE to add new combined key column with UNIQUE constraint
UPDATE table to set initial value of the combined key field
ALTER TABLE to make the combined key column not null
CREATE FUNCTION that will update combined key column
CREATE TRIGGER to use above function on update or insert

So 5 steps for EACH database to 'fake' a primary key.  PLEASE get
multi-column pkeys working soon ;P

I did not try the VIEW or custom SELECT option.
