interview question on index

I realize that "providing an invalid username and password" is not an "Oracle" constraint, but I was taught that "providing an invalid username and password" does act, in the same manner as, a constraint. It is a field that forces correct data. As for the second and third question, I did not respond due to my lack of understanding.

I also understand that the question was about "how many" constraints are created. My response was further referencing the person who first mentioned login.

By that standard, there's about a thousand constraints though ... having SQL*Net correctly configured, have the instance started, spelling the table name correctly etc..

Good lord you people must be utterly bored.

Dave aren't you suppose to be out flying somewhere?

that´s why I said, read the question again

I mean, if someone ask you

"How many constaints are automatically created when you create an index."

Are you gonna say: many, for example username and password is a constraint?

To assist an individual with answers that would help for exam purposes, no, I wouldn't. Again, my responses were referencing the individual who posed the idea that an invalid username and password does act as a constraint. Thats all.
