Hi,

I seem unable to create a check constraint that tires to perform an EXISTS against a subquery.

It seems MS SQL doesn't allow sub-queries in check constraints.

I have seen a few threads that say the way round this it to create s UDF and use that in the check constraint.

Is this the only way?

Thanks,
