  • Before declarative constraints (eg FK's) came to SQL Server, triggers was used to enforce referential integrity. If that is your purpose, then start by looking at CREATE TRIGGER' in BOL (Books On Line) You'll find a lot of good reading on the subject there to get you started.

  • I don't understand why you need to do this. Aren't you using some sort of primary keys in the main table? That way the name could change without having to change the keys in the other tables.
