If the relationship is mandatory, I'd use the PK.

As in propagate PK? That does not work in this case because there can be A rows that do not have any related B rows.

Or did you mean something else?

Yes, that is what I was thinking of. If it is not really a to-many, why not put the PK of B into A as a FK?

Hi all,

I have a relationship A <->> B. B carries the FK for A, not allowed to be null.

I'd like to enforce that a single A can relate to only one B so I'm thinking of putting a uniqueness constraint on the FK. As far as I can see that will give me what I want without causing any trouble. Can anyone think of a reason against doing this, or is there a better practice to address this?

Thanks,
F
