if your original table has Primary Key of (sta_type, secondary_type) I
would not expect EITHER of those fields to be unique by themselves....
Surely there can be more than one of the same sta_type with different
secondary_type's, just as there could be more than one secondary_type
with different sta_types....      if either of these fields is unique of
and by itself, it doesn't make sense to use the combined primary key.
