Hi Dennis, Agreed this was not the developers fault,  it was the DBA's!  I don't blame this on RI being handled by constraints, but on a DBA that doesn't understand the consequences, the resulting table level lock could have also been a problem :-).   BTW, if RI had been handled via the appli

Hi Dennis, Just my opinion but I tried to follow these rules as a DBA. 1. If the business rule can be implemented with pk, fk, unique or check constraints I do it as such 2. If the business rule can be implemented as a trigger I code it as a trigger 3. If none of the above, I implement as
