A key still can’t span multiple tables… or can it?
It’s been a while since I last blogged about Dynamics 365 Business Central. Why? Well, I was busy, for one, but alongside that, I’ve also felt covered.

A Dynamics NAV Database… on a Linux server?
Let’s go ahead and admit it: I just have a thing for open source software. FreeBSD and Ubuntu Linux really tickle my fancy.
