Hi, I want to tighten down my db schema as much as possible against accidential corruption. For this, I'd like to have fields that can only inserted and not later changed (think some sort of "id", account names, etc., which are often not only stored in the database but also in external places so changing is just a definitive DON'T). Obviously I can check this with triggers, but it occured me that some kind of "CONSTANT" field attribute would be nice. Perhaps such a construct already exists? Or perhaps somebody has come up with a generic way to do this without having to write 30 or 50 small triggers all over the place? thanks in advance cheers -- vbi (I read the list, but will be away on holidays later today, so don't worry if you don't hear back from me. Your input is appreciated.) -- Could this mail be a fake? (Answer: No! - http://fortytwo.ch/gpg/intro)
