RE: Foreign key integrity constraints and Transactions

Hi John,

did you look at the tutorial,especially step 4 ? There, you have the same
situation with the author & book tables. The examples run on oracle with
the generated constraints.
However, in the tutorial, a seperate transaction is used for each insert.
If you want to use the same transaction for several methods, see the FAQ at
the torque wiki, item 10. It does work on oracle (I use it myself).
