There is a singleton table :)

I know this one. It can be empty, which a singleton cannot be. For a singleton table, you should have one and only one row, you cannot insert or delete, so this is only part of the real thing.


Surely we can do a bit better than that, if that's what you really want. Create the table with an initial row and add a trigger preventing anything except update.
