Re: [GENERAL] two serial fields within one table?

I tried it here and it doesn't work for me either, but I was wondering why
you would want to do this anyway?  All you are doing is creating two fields
(schedid and eventid) that are going to contain the same value when a new
record is inserted.  If you are just using them to link to other tables
that have a serial type, use an int (which I believe is the actual type for
the sequence macro.)  If you are going to link to this table from two other
tables, why not just combine the two keys and link both of the other tables
to schedid?
