About Constraints
Constraints are rules that you create to restrict values in a database. You can define one or more conditions in the constraint that a user must satisfy before they make changes to the table to which you have applied the constraint. They are part of the table definition and operate automatically.
How the Constraints Node Works
The Constraints node, which is a child of the Tables node, contains one or more child Constraint nodes for a table. To perform actions on the Constraints node: right-click the node and from the menu, choose the appropriate command. To view the node's properties, select the node and/or click Properties in the node's menu.
If this collection node is filtered, the icon changes to include a funnel symbol. For more information about filtering, see Filtering Collection Nodes.
