I dont believe so..at least I've never seen it, and it doesnt make much sense once you have formally declared a master-detail relationship since ORACLE sets your joins based upon the PK-FK realtionships of your database tables... ordinarily, these become one-to-many relationships..from the master side, one would query return one or more rows...to backtrack from detail(FK) gives 1 row..the master itself. (note I always resolve many-to-many rel.) Received on Wed Jun 05 1996 - 00:00:00 CEST
