The reason this concerns me is that requiring update rights on the referenced table eliminates much the benefit of foreign keys from an administration point of view: If the primary keys can be updated freely, they no longer constrain the data in the referencing table effectively. I suppose we'll have to live with that for now but I'd suggest that it be put on the TODO list somewhere. -- Peter Eisentraut Sernanders väg 10:115 peter_e@gmx.net 75262 Uppsala http://yi.org/peter-e/ Sweden
