Is that correct? I would have thought that if you have a multi-key
unique index and you only provide values for some of the keys in the
index, you would have no guarantee of a single row being returned. If
this was true, then the additional keys are superfluous.
Have you tried doing the same thing where the fk keys and remote unique
index keys are equal in number?
