I am trying to create two relationships between three tables, using foreign keys with values of primary keys, which are surrogate keys. But I don't understand how to enter the right value in the foreign keys, since it has no meaning, being a surrogate key.
Here are my tables :
Quote (quoteID PRIMARY KEY, quoteValue, quoteDate, currency)
TermStrucureComponent (TSComponentID PRIMARY KEY, type)
InterestRate (rateID PRIMARY KEY, quote FOREIGN KEY to quoteID, TermStructureComponent FOREIGN KEY to TSComponentID, timeToMaturity)
So I have my InterestRate table that has two relationships: one with Quote, and one with TermStructureComponent. After inserting rows in the two first tables (without any foreign key), I need to insert it in InterestRate. But I don't know how to fill in the quote and TermStructureComponent fields, because I don't know their value in the other tables, since they are surrogate keys.
How should I do that? Thank you for your help
