We also use option 1, it drives me a little crazy.

Most of my clients use option 1.

Say you have an Order Header/Order Detail relationship. You're writing
an application that deletes the Order Header record. How does your shop
handle referential integrity?

1. We do it programmatically-- our application looks in the Order
Detail 
file and makes sure there are no corresponding Order Detail
records.
2. Our shop standards require we create constraints through DB2/400.
3. We don't bother checking. We just delete the Order Header record. 

Thanks
