FK relations...

I was wondering if Oracle can do an optimization so that foreign keys are stored as fake keys rather than the actual fields themselves. This way cascade updates on key fields would not need to be replicated. I know that this could be done manually, but if the database suports it, that seems like a better design way to go.
