And that'll be an interesting one. Just looked into the MSSQL 7.0 docs today. They don't have referential
actions! So something like ON UPDATE CASCADE/... must be implemented the hard way as triggers. Need to look it up
onceagain tomorrow to see if constraints can be deferred or not.
On this detail, we already left at least one (and definitely not the smallest) commercial database behind on the
way to SQL3.
Can someone take a look at Interbase, Oracle and others about it?
