Of course, if you use the SchemaExport tool, Hibernate will even create
the foreign key constraints for you.

If I were doing things the "old way" and using the business data as keys, the DB would perform lots of RI checking to make sure only "valid" rows could be inserted (rows where the primary key / foriegn key relationships were correct).  Should these RI "rules" still be enforced in the database, or not?

Don't do that.
