+For multi-column foreign keys, you will need to specify a C<foreign>-to-C<self>
+mapping for each column in the key. For example, if you're creating a
+relationship from C<Book> to C<Edition>, where the C<Edition> table refers to a
+publisher and a type (e.g. "paperback"):
-Valid attributes are as follows:
+ {
+ 'foreign.publisher_id' => 'self.publisher_id',
+ 'foreign.type_id' => 'self.type_id',
+ }
+
+This will result in the C<JOIN> clause:
+
+ book me JOIN edition edition ON edition.publisher_id = me.publisher_id
+ AND edition.type_id = me.type_id
+
+Each key-value pair provided in a hashref will be used as C<AND>ed conditions.
+To add an C<OR>ed condition, use an arrayref of hashrefs. See the
+L<SQL::Abstract> documentation for more details.

+In addition to standard result set attributes, the following attributes are also valid:

a column accessor). For C<multi> accessors, an add_to_* method is also
created, which calls C<create_related> for the relationship.

+If you are using L<SQL::Translator> to create SQL for you and you find that it
+is creating constraints where it shouldn't, or not creating them where it
+should, set this attribute to a true or false value to override the detection
+of when to create constraints.
