Dave et al,

Might I suggest flipping the foreign key icon left for right? That way, the
key "points" to the left, back toward something pre-existing whilst the
primary key "points" to the right, forward towards something new?

Also, for me, the updated index icon loses its intuitiveness as it suggests
an ordinal list or an enumeration. I think the clue in the old icon was the
index tab at the top of the illustration.

Finally, the new trigger icon suggests, to me, that one is trying to do
something with a document, maybe copying it. Whereas the old icon suggests
an action to be taken.

Just my two cents...
