Thank you for the responses.
I realize that I can create the table then the index/constraint in seperate statements. What I would like to do is to create them in the SAME STATEMENT. I don't have a reason other than curiosity, I think it can be done, but I do not know, nor have I been able to figure out the syntax on how to do it. If you are able to provide information on how to do it that would be nice. What I don't care about is the philisophical debate on what is right or what is wrong. I just want to know if I can do it and how to - period.
Regards
Jon
