I mean: which RDBMS
1) allows to declare that relationship is in fact 1-1, and
2) protests when one tries to violate the 1-1 relationship,
that is inserts into a table two records with the same
foreign key?
Thank you in advance.

Create a unique index on your foreign key field.
And remember that in MySQL enforces foreign key references only if the
table is stored as an InnoDB table.

Thank you for the answer. Create a unique index on your foreign key field.
I was thinking about specifing 1-1 relationship
in CREATE or ALTER TABLE. And remember that in MySQL enforces foreign key references only if the table is stored as an InnoDB table.
I know that. AFAIK in 5.0 MyISAM will have the RI enforcing option
as well.

You _can_ say "CONSTRAINT UNIQUE (columnName)" in a CREATE or ALTER
TABLE statement.
Read about it at: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/CREATE_TABLE.html
But I think I know what you mean, you want some other syntax that is
specific to 1-1 relationships. No, I don't think there is such syntax.

Exactly.
No, I don't think there is such syntax.
It'a pity. May be next SQL standard will propose
such formal syntax.

Well, there's no SQL syntax that explicitly declares a one-to-many or a
many-to-many relationship either. SQL has language the describe the
physical implementation of a relational database. What you're
describing is like an Entity Relationship diagram that describes the
_logical_ relationships, and then enables you to generates a database
based on that.
In fact, there exist several software products that do this.
For instance: http://solutions.mysql.com/search.php?q=diagram

Suppose you have two (or more) tables with foreign key constraints. My
question is thus:
Is it better to check if the fk exists before you try to perform the
insert or let SQL do it for you?
On one hand, if you check yourself and the key does not exist you can
gracefully handle it (maybe exit out of method with error). If you let
SQL do it, the server will throw an error which cannot be suppressed.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
