To create more complex queries, you can combine multiple attributes into a single key. Dino accepts arrays as key definitions and will combine and parse these attributes automatically.\n\n```js\nvar table = 'threads',\n    attributes = {\n        forum_name: String,\n        subject: Number\n    },\n    key = {\n        hash: ['forum_name', 'subject'] // smush together\n    },\n    Thread = dino.Model.extend({\n        schema: new dino.Schema(table, attributes, key)\n    });\n\nnew Thread({\n    forum_name: 'Amazon DynamoDB',\n    subject: 'DynamoDB Thread 1'\n}).save();\n\n// \"forum_name#subject\": \"Amazon DynamoDB#DynamoDB Thread 1\"\n```\n\n## Tests\n\nInstall the dependencies and run.\n\n```\n$ npm install\n$ npm test\n```\n\n## License\n\nCopyright (C) 2013 Christopher Cliff\n\nPermission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of this software and associated documentation files (the \"Software\"), to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions:\n\nThe above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.\n\nTHE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED \"AS IS\", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NONINFRINGEMENT.
