There is no unique constraint on RL_Voltas defined that mentions all three
of the columns mentioned here. That is a requirement for being able to
make a foreign key to that set of columns (I think SQL92 11.8 SR2a covers
it with " If the <referenced table and columns> specifies a <reference
column list>, then the set of column names of that <reference column list>
shall be equal to the set of column names in the unique columns of a
unique constraint of the referenced table.")
