Which is faster, where the list involved is fixed? My thought is that
since it doesn't have to check a seperate table, the CHECK itself should
be the faster of the two, but I can't find anything that seems to validate
that theory ...
The case is where I just want to check that a value being inserted is one
of a few possible values, with that list of values rarely (if ever)
changing, so havng a 'flexible list' REFERENCED seems relatively overkill
...
Thoughts, or pointers to a doc that disproves, or proves, what I believe?
Thanks ...
