Generally speaking I don't. :(
The product right now prohibits changes to PK values.
It is a fairly minor change to enable cascading PK values, but I don't know
when, in the next few weeks, it will actually get done.
Originally we thought that prohibiting changes was a Good Thing, and this
held true in experience until, ironically, we created the online docs as an
Andromeda system. The drafting and redrafting process leads to a desire to
change the name of a page, which is a PK change. So it will get in there
sooner or later in the next few weeks.
It has been on my personal list for a few weeks, and I've just added it to
the online documentation as a requirement for release 1.
