• Key Concepts: 
  A non-compound key is a type of key used in SAP BusinessObjects Design Studio (BI-RA-AD) to identify a single record in a database table. It is composed of one or more fields that uniquely identify a record, and it is used to ensure that no two records have the same key. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In SAP BusinessObjects Design Studio, non-compound keys are used to identify records in a database table. To create a non-compound key, select the fields that will be used to uniquely identify each record. These fields can be any combination of text, numbers, or dates. Once the fields have been selected, they can be used to create a unique identifier for each record in the table. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a non-compound key, it is important to select fields that will not change over time. This will ensure that the key remains unique and can be used to accurately identify each record in the table. Additionally, it is important to select fields that are not likely to be duplicated in other tables, as this could lead to confusion when trying to identify records.
