Hi, is there a problem calling ID's different when used as a FK vs table ID?
For example


mydimtable ()
 ID
 name
 description


myfacttable ()
  my_dim_id   # FK to ID above
  total_sales


I 'think' if I don't enforce foreign key constraints, then this practice
prevents tools from being able to generate ERD diagrams right?
