The opposite end of a 'foreign key' has to be a 'unique key' or 'primary key'. You have only two 'nominally correct' options - a) declare a unique key on table1.col1 or b) Create a table where the unique values of table1.col1 are held, and declare a primary key on it - th

You can only FK to field(s) that are unique or primary key constraints.   if col1 is unique, you can put a unique constraint on it and then FK to it from the child.   your only other choice is to do FK checkign via triggers(i did it for distributed databases, where parents were on one db and

I think a direct variable declaration (without constraints like not null) is the fastest. Of course if you are dealing with integers, use pls_integer instead of number, it is faster. Because for typecasting, I think it has to (somehow) access the dictionary to get the column or table information.

Rather than think of them as a table, think of each copybook mapping a record in a file (which is what cobol is basically designed to do)... The numeric levels are a hierarchical way of grouping the levels... For example: 10 date-created 20 year-created pic 99 20 month-created
