Re: how to inherits the references...

ok, thanks for the (double: two mails ;) ) help, but
in this way when I insert a record in a child table,
the key must be already present in the "sigles" table,
otherwise it breaks the reference and doesn't insert
anything.
In order to use this solution I must create a set of
function that when I want to insert something in a
child tables it automatically insert BEFORE, the sigle
in the "sigles" table and THEN insert the values in
the child table.
If this is the only way, I'm going to use it, but I'm
not really satisfied by it...
