Through the judicious use of constraints, application and SQL coding can be minimized and data integrity can be maximized. 
 
 Constraints may be applied to columns in the form of uniqueness requirements, relational integrity constraints to other tables/rows, allowable values and data types.For example, a column containing a product price should probably only accept positive values. But there is no standard data type that accepts only positive numbers. Another issue is that you might want to constrain column data with respect to other columns or rows. For example, in a table containing product information, there should be only one row for each product number.
