I've managed a work-around by creating a column that defaults to 16 and then
used ALTER TABLE ADD CONSTRAINT to add a foreign key with two pairs of keys.
This feels wrong though as my table now has a column that is ultimately
redundant, and worse can be changed to a wrong value.
Ok, I've sorted the last bit by adding a check constraint to make sure it
always contains 16, but it still feels wrong.
