Constraint
From Oracle FAQ
A constraint is a data rule or restriction that is enforced within the database rather than at application or object level.
The following constraint types are available in Oracle:
- primary key
- unique key
- foreign key (references)
- check constraint
- NOT NULL
Users may need to write database triggers to enforece complicated constrains that cannot be handled with the above declarations.
