Amusingly, the last project I worked on where someone wanted foreign keys enforced by the application instead of the database,, the person wanting this was the DBA!

In my opinion, there are no absolute rules in IT apart from this one.

i.e. mostly you will want to take advantage of database enforcement of primary and foreign keys - sometimes you might not. Received on Tue Mar 14 2000 - 00:00:00 CST
