I was thinking more of having A and B each have the other PK as a FK.
Huh... Have you ever done this? Anyone else?
I have played around with it, I don't recall if I used it or not.
Though this may irritate EOF when it tries to look up inverse
relationships. You can tell EOF what to do by implementing String
inverseForRelationshipKey(String relationshipKey) on A and B.
Yeah, sounds like this might end up kicking me in the ass.
Especially since I can't override client side class descriptions, so
I would have a discrepancy between what EOs and class descriptions
see as inverse relationships. Not sure I like this idea, it might
have unforeseeable consequences, no? More work...
Does that method exist for client side EOs?
But, to come back on the original idea, what do you think of putting
a uniqueness constraint on the FK? Would that somewhere somehow
screw the object graph up beyond repair?
I can't see how it would harm it. If violated, the save will fail.
