[Quoted] [Quoted] I'm curious, why would a database design use unqiue indexes versus [Quoted] constraints to enforce integrity.

Situation: I have to determine how a large oracle db is put together. This database has some constraints but many more unqiue indexes as I determined using Oracle Enterprise Manager and ERWIN. I understand this DB's origin may have been from a flat DB2 database.

Thanks
Scott
