Are relational structures such as primary keys, foreign keys, and alternate candidate keys (i.e. unique indexes) enforced with application code, or are they enforced through the dbms? Is there an application data dictionary that acts as a virtual replica of dbms data dictionary, or does 11i ensure that the dbms enforces these conventions by prividing the definitions for ddl upon installation/migration?

Thanks in advance,
