Ah, I had quite forgotten about that.

While I didn't actually use it, the idea is to have RI that either (a) forces you to have a valid FK, that is, one that is contained in another table, or (b) leave it blank.

The options which I found most useful was to disable RI temporarily. This is sometimes useful when you need to update data.

Also, I like the nice and compact code - about 1/10 of the size of the code created with the standard RI-builder.

Unfortunately, it is tricky to find this one.
Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
