    Hi Gilberto,

    If you are creating a brand new database (not reverse engineering an
    existing database), I **strongly** recommend that you do not use
    natural primary keys. There are many reasons to not use natural
    primary keys and only one good one that I can think of (you have an
    existing legacy database you have to support).
