So either the manual on how to do it is wrong, or the example of
how to do it is wrong. Awesome.
:-D
My bet's on the manual being wrong.
Thinking about it: it makes absolutely no sense to flatten both the
foreign keys into the child as well as flattening the relationship.
But seeing as EOF requires that you flatten the foreign keys that
leads us (me) to one conclusion: don't flatten relationships into
child - and in fact validate it as wrong to do so please ;-)
Unless anyone can put forward a reasonable argument for why both
would be flattened I'd go ahead and do it.
Well that makes me feel like there's more certainty in this...
