Uniqueness Criteria

SPECIFIC_LOV

Uniqueness may be enforced by database constraints and/or the API, depending on the complexity of the uniqueness criteria

• Database constraints are used when the uniqueness criteria can be expressed simply as a combination of columns. These are defined as unique key constraints placed on the underlying table.
• The API is used when the uniqueness criteria cannot be expressed simply as a combination of columns. These are defined in PL/SQL.
