Foreign key values should be adjusted to match the corresponding `d`-tag they point to.
Since column names are arbitraryly defined by the data source, such data source might also decide to map certain names to single letters to enable indexing by that column when on Nostr.
Inserts and updates are supported via Nostr's regular signing operations and deletions via [NIP-09](09.md).
The pubkey MAY be own by the system and represent several users from that system.
