   Re: [xml-dev] Are people really using Identity constraints specifiedin X

[ Lists Home | Date Index | Thread Index ]

Hi,
Im the newbie that asked about constraints lately. In my case I'm 
creating a file to exchange statistic data about tourism in some hotels 
each day and from which countries every month, so I want to make sure 
that they do not repeat a data entry for the same country and the same 
day. As I come from relational databases a primary key is what comes 
naturally to my mind.

Anyway is just to make a check, I won't use it as the final storage 
which will be a relational database. It's just to make easy the exchange 
of data and the validation of the information.
