Referential integrity

Hello,

i have a big table with 25 fields that should be checked for their contents. Because I also need the description of this values I should build 25 table and activate referential integrity.

When I go on this way I will end with hundreds of very small tables.

Is there another way to guarantee referential integrity ?

I tried with functional indices on one single lookup table, but they can not be used a foreign key.

Bye
