Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Limits on referential integrity
How much referential integrity should be implemented in Oracle? We are
starting a large new Java project. Our current applications keep their
referential integrity inside their own dictionary, so I haven't had to deal
much with referential integrity recently. Can there be too much of a good
thing? What guidelines do you tend to use? At this point the developers are
designing the data model so they are busily linking all the little boxes. My
attitude at this point is "implement what you've got and if there are
performance problems we'll deal with them when they arise". Can anyone give
me a better motto?
Thanks.
