I know what you mean. But I think this was not the intetion of the original
posting which asked about information on ORACLE.

When I hear something like "defining constraints", I think that the RDBMS
would give me a possibility to define it e.g. within the create table
statement (using DEC-RDB you are able to do so). I don't want to garantee 
the logical integrety (spelling correct ?) by myself. That's what the 
original question was about, I think.

BTW, your given solution is very well indeed.
