Hi,
Lars Breddemann is right.
There is one more option though. You could use the primary key as a numeric pointer if all the below conditions are met:
- The primary key is numeric (obviously)
- It is an insert-only table. That is, if records are only inserted into the table, never modified.
- The primary key is ascending i.e. every record gets a primary key greater than the existing records.
Very few tables meet these criteria and if your table doesn't meet it, then there isn't any way to delta-ize this table.
