There's nothing preventing you from using a CHAR field as a primary
key. That would negate auto_increment, but you didn't mention needing
that. As someone else mentioned, you can combine a CHAR and INT
column to make the key. Like other pepole mentioned, it sounds like
you're on an unusual track. If you need some database consulting,
drop me an email off list.
