Well, this case is somewhat weird. I have a number of tables
like:
PRAGMA "foreign_keys" = 1;
CREATE TABLE "foo-L" (
key INTEGER PRIMARY KEY
REFERENCES "foo" (key),
value INTEGER NOT NULL);
Which are tied to a single table, like:
CREATE TABLE "foo" (
key INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
value INTEGER NOT NULL);
This structure is, obviously, could just as well be represented
with, e. g.:
CREATE TABLE "foo" (
"key" INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
"value" INTEGER NOT NULL,
"value-1" INTEGER,
…
"value-N" INTEGER);
(I. e., by abandoning the NOT NULL constraint from the
respective columns.) For which I could then specify an
uniqueness constraint:
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX "foo-unique"
ON "foo" ("value", "value-1", …, "value-N");
Now, I'm somewhat concerned that the table above may get overly
sparse at times, which makes me wonder if I could establish an
equivalent constraint over the original multi-relation
structure, as described above?
