I think you'd find that if you posted a definition of 'database
constraints', you would find that you and Galen are just misunderstanding
each other. It is not unreasonable to claim that Oracle does provide
'database constraints' since they are listed in dba_constraints :(. I know
that that isn't what you are referring to but googling the phrase 'database
constraints' throws up this usage as well as papers on RDBMS theory.
