Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Missing foreign key
Is it possible that the constraint was disabled then data was added then the
constraint was
enabled with the ENFORCE option which I think only does RI constraints for
all future data
not existing data. You may want to check the dba_constraints table to see
what constraints
are enabled and how.
