Hi,

I did not get a real answer to my question two weeks ago, so I try it again:

I try to create a table with two foreign key definitions like the following 
statement on a MaxDB 7.5.0.19:

create table USERS 
( 
        ID integer not null, 
        USERNAME varchar(100) not null, 
        CREATED_BY integer, 
        MODIFIED_BY integer, 
        primary key (ID), 
        FOREIGN KEY FK_USER_REFE_USER1 (CREATED_BY) REFERENCES USERS (ID) ON 
DELETE 
SET NULL, 
        FOREIGN KEY FK_USER_REFE_USER2 (MODIFIED_BY) REFERENCES USERS (ID) ON 
DELETE 
SET NULL 
) 

This statement fails with an error:
SQL error -7040 = Referential constraint not allowed (error position: 1)

When I remove one of the foreign key definitions (doesn't matter which one) 
the statment works fine. When I replace the "ON DELETE SET NULL" by "ON 
DELETE CASCADE" also executes without error.

Why can't I define these two foreign keys? I did not find any restrictions in 
the docs describing this behavior.

Best regards,
Ralf.
