Maybe I should explain my problem a little bit: simplified, I have two tables, L and T, (which values references to L):
L: art|kvvnr|semester ---+-----+-------- 7.0| 4151| 2002ws 7.0| 4326| 2002ws 6.1| 4200| 2002ws 7.0| 4151| 2001ws (combination of kvvnr and semester is unique) T: id |semester|kvvnr ----+--------+----- 123| 2002ws |4151 123| 2001ws |4151 Now I want to allow a user with id 123 only to insert a row in T if he doesn't choose values from L with same 'art' and 'semester' values -- in the examples user 123 has already chosen a kvvnr from semester 2002ws in category 'art', so he shouldn't be allowed to insert the values of the second row in table L. I hope, someone has followed this complicated thing up to here and there is a solution for my problem.
