HI,

We have some history tables that are pointing to parent tables. Parent tables has primary key.
Our developers are saying that we have foreign key from history table to parent table and we don't need primary key on history table. Does there are any benefits if we have primary key(concatenated) on history table. OR
do we should leave history tables without primary key

Thanks
