Looking at the entity-relationship diagram for a regulatory agency database
they have attribute identifiers of PK, FKn, and U1. The first is the Primary
Key and the second is a Foreign Key, but I've not before seen a 'Un'
identifyier. I've no idea what DBMS they're using (but suspect Oracle). My
web search used in-effective terms so I could not find the answer there.

What does U1 represent?

What does U1 represent?

Unique constraint, perhaps? I'm just guessing.

Tom,

That's my guess, too. I've not seen it used before now and did not know if
it's a standard code for something or one specific to this agency.

Thanks,

Rich

Thanks, Adrian. I suspected that I was not effectively expressing my
search terms.
