When designing data and related business rules, there are a number of concepts available to the DBA . Consider the following in
Primary Key definition
Foreign key definitions
User-defined distinct data types.
Nulls-allowed columns
Not null columns.
Column value constraint rules.
Before and after triggers. – (UPDATE,INSERT,DELETE)
Generated row change timestamps.
Distinct Data
Unique indexes.
Non-unique indexes
In summary , these concepts serve a purpose – and can be used effectively to maintain business data. This must be weighed up against performance and maintenance considerations
