Subject: Constraint to ensure value does NOT exist in another table?

I know I can setup a FK constraint to make sure Table1.ColA exists in
Table2.Key, however what if I want to do the reverse?

I want to ensure Table1.ColA does NOT exist in Table2.Key..  Can I do
this with any sort of CHECK constraint, trigger, custom function, etc?
 Thanks!

Mike


Trigger (with corresponding trigger function) will definitely do the
job.
