Really? If you can write code to do it, and that rule could be done, you can build it into the database with referential constraints and triggers.

The CRUD would need to react to error conditions and act accordingly.

Now that said, most databases have not been designed with that in mind relying instead on programs (pick your language at will) to do all of that instead. Doesn't mean it can't be done by a developer ( as opposed to a programmer that just turns specs into code) who takes the time to think it through.

That's called software engineering.

My first eye-opening experience with business rules was the rule "Anyone who took care of Mr Kelly's car during the depression gets a nickle an hour above the union rate." That happened to be one guy. But there had to be a rule. How does one put that rule in the database?

That's what a properly designed database does, enforce business rules with constraints and relational integrity built in. It's not that hard to build.
