They *are* optional. The first chapter is about getting the data in and out. That is not optional for using a database. Transactions, views, foreign keys, primary keys even, and everything else that some people think is essential for a "real" database are in fact optional. Remember that the tutorial is intended for people starting from zero. Let's not overwhelm them right away. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 8: explain analyze is your friend
