                                            | I have a weird situation (or at least it seems unique to me.) I have a table where I have an id, Item, Keyname, and Value. The thing is, I need to be able to have multiple entries with the same value in the Item field, but each of these entries should have a different value in the Keyname.I can't make Keyname unique though, because if an entry has a different value for Item, it should be allowed to have a Keyname that is also used by a different Item...Does anyone know how something like this could be done?
