All good examples of cardinality contraints to objects; I have to say that I'm not convinced that any of the following are naturally datatypes: - homes - sources of income - children - nationalities - travel to a given nation during a date range Nationality, in my view, comes closest; but why is this better as a datatype than an object? - PeterReceived on Sunday, 16 March 2003 15:28:44 GMT
