hi all I have the following question for you : We have a mainframe database with tables which have composite primary keys with an ascending and a descending item. For example a table with license regisitrations with primary key items LICENSE in ascending and REGISTRATION_DATE in descending order. As far as i know this is not possible with Oracle, only a unique index should be a candidate to do this. I said should be, because if you need a foreign key relation to this specific composite index i get an ORA-2270 !. Anyone with an explanation why a create of a composite unique index with an ascending and descending order works and not with the primary key clause ? Is this triggered in oracle 9i or 10i ?
