RE: FK Constraints

issue is more of data integrity than security if this is the only apps working against that database and no future development is going to occur then no problemo.

just two of the cons cons cons
1. maintenance would be difficult. as one wld require to parse thru the code to find out the relationships.
2. relationships that are considered as business facts shld always be implemented as part of the database as it shld centralized. it wld apply for apps against that database.
