    Idea / RFE Review. Thank you for taking the time to raise this enhancement request, and apologies for the length of time it has been held in the status of Uncommitted Candidate / Future Consideration status. Whilst providing an enhancement to the wizard to help generate compound keys would be helpful, given that you can manually edit the ESQL generated when configuring the message flow node, we do have a means of achieving this usecase already. It should also be noted that some users of the database input node actually prefer the closer proximity with the SQL syntax by writing the query themselves. All things considered (including the low total of 2 votes which have been cast over 7 years), unfortunately this is not an area we intend to move forward any time soon.

    Thanks for raising this requirement. We would very much like to improve the features of the DatabaseInput node, including support for compound/composite keys. We are scheduling this work for a follow-on release or fixpack.
