Message-ID: <294260000.1064515888@lerlaptop-red.iadfw.net> (raw)

I have the following rows (in addition to others):

acct_num text,
master_acct_num text,


These are in the same table.

What I want to enforce is that if the master_acct_num field is NOT NULL (it 
can be NULL, and
that's fine), that the value appears in some row as acct_num.  acct_num has 
a unique index on it, so that's fine.

I'm not sure how to do this....

Thanks!

LER
