Setting aside the question of clustering key for the moment, which others here have already taken up, I would ask whether your assumption of having an 8-column natural key...

It is helpful and I truly appreciate it.

Maybe a dumb question... But at the company I work for, pretty much every table has an autoincremented primary key that is clustered.......

I can understanding adding an identity key to a table to facilicate joins to other tables.

However in this instance there is only the one table.

I still probably wouldn't make it...
