So when I see 'id' I can think 'primary key'?

I have specified the table name and primary key of my main table with
_table and _idName, but I also have a foreign key to a validation table. Do
I
need to specify the primary key of the foreign table? What does that look
like?
Unlike the examples in the docs this is a many-to-one relationship. The
validation 
table will not have an associated object.

I'm having a hard time getting my head around why SQLOject needs to do a
select at 
all. I am trying to create an object- i.e. write a row. My data gets written
to 
postgres as I expect, then I get this other error complaining about oid's
not 
existing.
