RE: CONSTRAINTS ENABLE on 7.3.4

I sure would like to take that back now. I was thinking of validate / novalidate. DISABLE / ENABLE was available in Oracle 7 and probably earlier.
As another poster said, in Oracle 7.3.4, you will need to fix the data. Or if you want to have a constraint but can't fix the data, you could write a trigger that emulates the constraint.

I'm pretty sure that disabling / enabling constraints was introduced in Oracle 8.0. Are you sure you have the database version right?
