Selecting a Primary Key for the table.

I have a question regarding selecting a primary key for the table.
Is it a good design to have multiple primary keys as compared to a one
primary key auto generated in pre-insert trigger from a sequence and
creating unique constraints on columns that need to be unique.



Oracle documentation says try a stick with single primary key as far
as possible. Our DBA's seem to have an alternative point of view. I'd
like to hear from other DBA's out there.
