RE: Column unique index

Hi Kasper,

Your right this only available in RDMBS systems and primary & foreign key will provided the relationship can be either 1:1 or 1:many and this determined by following 

Primary Key |foreign key | Unique 
-->   <Id>       | <id>            |  false             ===> 1:1
-->    <Id>      | <id>            |   true             ===> 1: Many

Hi Vijay,

We do not have a unique flag, that's correct. I'd be open to investigating if we can add it. But it seems like a trait that is more or less only available in RDBMS'es.

We do have the primary key flag though, which is normally the way of finding relationships because any foreign key would typically refer to a primary key, not just any unique value.
