[OASIS Issue Tracker] Updated: (ODATA-304) Add TargetKey attribute to <PropertyRef> within a <ReferentialConstraint

[ http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/ODATA-304?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Michael Pizzo updated ODATA-304:
--------------------------------


Even better, further simplify by allowing multiple <ReferentialConstraint> elements to be children of the <NavigationProperty>, one for each foreign key, with attributes "Property" and "RelatedProperty"

 <NavigationProperty Name="Category" Type="Self.Category" Nullable="false">
  <ReferentialConstraint Property="CategoryID" RelatedProperty="Id"/>
  <OnDelete Action="Cascade" />
 </NavigationProperty>

instead of:

 <NavigationProperty Name="Category" Type="Self.Category" Nullable="false">
  <ReferentialConstraint>
   <PropertyRef Name="CategoryID" />
  </ReferentialConstraint>
  <OnDelete Action="Cascade" />
 </NavigationProperty>


> Add TargetKey attribute to <PropertyRef> within a <ReferentialConstraint

>
> Today we require that a <ReferentialConstraint> element contain the same number of <PropertyRef> elements, in the same order, as the <PropertyRef> elements of the <Key> of the related entity.
> This is the only place where we rely on the ordering of the properties of the key.
> We should instead add a TargetKey attribute to explicitly specify the key property of the related entity to which a <PropertyRef> within a <ReferentialConstraint> applies.
