Composite Keys

Composite Keys

Optionally, you can define a list of data holders as a composite key. To do this, nest multiple data holders under the
unique_fields
property.
Consider the following example:
<Persons> <Person ID="17" SubID="A">Bob</Person> <Person ID="17" SubID="B">Jane</Person> <Person ID="35" SubID="A">Larry</Person> </Persons>
Neither the
ID
attribute nor the
SubID
attribute identifies a
Person
element uniquely. The combination of
ID
and
SubID
, however, is a unique identifier. You can define
ID
and
SubID
as a composite key.
