Is it possible to create an entity based on an existing database table without implementing all of the table's structure? If so does anyone have any examples?

    Yes, just don't create properties for the columns you don't want.

    Then can I map the existing key to the ID property? If so do you have any examples using automapping?

    Could you be a little more specific as to what you're trying to do?

    I have an existing database that I am going to be replicating certain tables over to an SQLite database. The primary keys need to match. I know I could have a two columns, one for the NHiberate ID and another for my source PK but I am trying to avoid that.
