Updating a primary key column

Question

I have a table with two columns, both of which make up the primary key. I want the user to be able to update Column2, and to only see relevant records. So, the user should see records where Column1 = :P80_Col1.
The problem is that since Column2 is part of the primary key, Apex won't let me specify Column2 as updateable in a regular Tabular Form.
What would be the easiest way to accomplish this?

Maybe this query could shed some light on your PK's
SELECT cols.table_name,
       cols.column_name,
       cols.position,
       cons.status,
       cons.owner
FROM   all_constraints cons,
       all_cons_columns cols
WHERE  cons.constraint_type = 'P'
       AND cons.constraint_name = cols.constraint_name
       AND cons.owner = cols.owner
ORDER  BY cols.table_name,
          cols.position;  I understand your predicament but I have this topic debated for decades and personally view composite keys as bad juju.
The safest thing might be to just add a column, leave the primary key as it is as far as the table is concerned, but use the new column as the primary key for this new tabular form.A PK is what it is, so if I understand you correctly, you cannot do that.
