Going back to the previous question I posed, do we want to tell users to conform to a single-field primary key or will qgis accept valid schema designs. Again, it comes down to dev time vs the cost to the user experience.

I'd note that supporting complex primary keys would also allow
qgis to identify rows based on an expensively computed fingerprint
of the hash of the canonical form of each and every field.
