Revise the table structures so that the primary key is something that
never changes (e.g. INT IDENTITY) and "my cell" / "my data" is a non-PK
field in T1.

Side note: Please use real table/column names (e.g. table = Customers,
column = CustomerKey) rather than confusingly similar abbreviations
(table = T1, column = FT1).
