- Monday's baseball expansion draft got me thinking about a database
- question. During at least the first round of the draft, no more than one
- player from each team could be taken by Tampa or Denver. If I for some
- reason had setup a database of all the players eligible for the draft, how
- could I implement this restriction. If one player from the Boston Red Sox
- has already been selected, how could I lock out selecting a second player
- from the Red Sox? Does a database program exist that makes such
- restrictions easy to implement? One particular application which I am
- interested in is evaluating economic proposals which are either mutually
- exclusive, mutually dependent, or mutually independent of other proposals.
- Does anyone have experience with designing a database for such an
- application?
