[snip] Hey everyone, Is there any work being done in the database world for data validation at the db level? It would be cool to just define a field as being an email address (of length nn) instead of saying a TEXT field (of length nn) and validating it in the application layer. Same goes for other things as well. Sure, it's not really possible to account for all different types of data, but the basics would be nice. (email, numbers only, letters only, alphanumeric only, [a-z0-9#-] only, etc.) [/snip] There are all sorts of ways to validate data at the DB level and this is a PHP question how? I only ask because validation at the DB level removes the need to validate at the application level. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
