What you are saying is this: "I'm too lazy to understand data integrity principles and apply them to my application. Can someone please write some code perfect for my needs so I can copy and paste them into my application." Stop wasting our time by being obtuse and repeating silly arguments as to why this isn't your problem and instead go read the man pages and modify the example code you've already been pointed at to do exactly what you need.
