I fundamentally disagree - 100%. It does not, IMO. It may be duplicated in the UI for user convenience, but it should be enforced by the DBMS. Otherwise your UI *is* built on sand! What is your logic for saying it belongs in the UI - other than that may be (with current DBMSs) hard to do in the DBMS? Received on Tue Oct 26 2004 - 20:49:17 CEST
