<p>Select the entity in the <span class="gui-object-title">Project Explorer</span>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>In the <span class="gui-object-title">JPA Details</span> view, select the <span class="gui-object-action">Secondary Tables</span> information.</p>

</li>
<li>
<p>Select the <span class="bold">Name</span>, <span class="bold">Catalog</span>, and <span class="bold">Schema</span> of the additional table to associate with the entity.</p>
</li>
</ol>
<p>Eclipse adds the following annotations the entity:</p>
<pre xml:space="preserve" class="oac_no_warn">
@SecondaryTable(name="NAME", catalog = "CATALOG", schema = "SCHEMA")

</pre>
<p>To override the default primary key:</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p>Enable the <span class="bold">Overwrite default</span> option, then click <span class="bold">Add</span> to specify a new primary key join column. The Create New Primary Key Join Column appears.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Select the <span class="bold">Name</span>, <span class="bold">Referenced column name</span>, <span class="bold">Table</span>, and <span class="bold">Column definition</span> of the primary key for the entity.</p>
<p>Eclipse adds the following annotations the entity:</p>
<pre xml:space="preserve" class="oac_no_warn">
@SecondaryTable(name="NAME", catalog = "CATALOG", schema = "SCHEMA", pkJoinColumns = {@PrimaryKeyJoinColumn(name="id", referencedColumnName = "id"),@PrimaryKeyJoinColumn(name="NAME", referencedColumnName = "REFERENCED COLUMN NAME", columnDefinition = "COLUMN DEFINITION")})
