dave writes "hi all,
how can i design a table to do the following types of data validation during an update:
1. check whether a certain value is within a set of values, i.e. 'Y/N'
2. check whether a value is a numeric string.
i.e. someone's social security number, with the dashes stripped out.
3. check whether a value is within a range, i.e. birth year between 1880 and 2000.

Now, how can i use the same validations for an insert, without duplicating code?

Thanks,
-dave"
