The history table has
OrderID
OrderLineNumber
OrderAttachment
User Name
DateModified

Each order can have multiple line numbers and each line number can have multiple attachments.

I'm wondering if it's best to have a sequence as the primary key and put indexes on orderid and line number. The select against this table will only be by OrderID and OrderLineNumber. Or if some other configuration is optimal."
