Hello,

Regardless, the main issue is native IO with unique constraints.

I'm confused. Are you saying (going back to your original example) that SQL will let you set the 2nd record to 30 while the 3rd record is already 30?!

I wouldn't think so!

Therefore, I'm looking at this saying to myself that it's not a question of Native I/O with constraints. It's a question of having a constraint that makes sense for your business rules. (And you don't seem to have that.)

Or does SQL really allow you to ignore the constraint?
