Oracle dialect question:
How to impose a check that a certain field can only contain a certain domain of values?For example consider a situation where you are storing an attribute which consists of a finite number of values such as "AM" or "PM"? How do you ensure that any other values are rejected to the concerned field?

Oracle answer.
Re: How to impose a check that a certain field can only contain a certain domain of values?
You can use SQL's CHECK Constraints
Consider that the field is called "timeperiod" and the table is called "day"
ALTER TABLE day ADD CHECK (timeperiod IN ('AM', 'PM'));
