The Build API and Build Module features provide a quick way to autogenerate API or modules that include all of the basic CRUD functions for the any table in a configured database.

These shortcuts can be accessed from the Database tab in the left panel.

Expand a database connection and then right click on a table.

If a table does not have a defined unique key column you will see the following message:

 

It is not necessary to change the table. Profound API has an option built in to specify the unique column or columns.

Expand the table node to view the columns

 

Then right click on the column that is the unique key and click properties. IN the dialog that opens select the CRUD Options tab and check the Part of Unique Key check box.

You can select more than one column to build a unique key if necessary.
