Re: How to setup a database table?

@chrisburton, If this is the case you going about it all wrong. Your table violates 2 NF and that is all about redundancy. If you read and want to record more than one title(article) which is published under same URL you are in big trouble because you will have to repeat URL in each record which precisely violates 2NF. On top of all that you will not be able to enter URL if that attribute is indexed with no duplicates allowed. Therefore you should develop additional table (entity) tblTitles with TitlePK, URLID as FK and attribute URLTitle. That way you preserve uniqueness of URL and articles will be child records of URL Entity. And please, use surrogate keys as your primary keys. Let the system handle it instead using natural keys. After all they are not for human consumption but to assure DB integrity. HTH.
