[dba-SQLServer]Roles and Rules etc.

Rule doesn't have anything to do with roles and permissions.  It's
similar however to CHECK constraint.
BOL:
"Rules, a backward compatibility feature, perform some of the same
functions as check constraints. CHECK constraints, created using the
CHECK keyword of ALTER or CREATE TABLE, are the preferred, standard way
to restrict the values in a column (multiple constraints can be defined
on one or multiple columns)."

It occurred to me today that I have never implemented a Rule in SQL 2K.
I've always done everything I needed to do with roles and permissions.
Who here has implemented some rules? Would you describe what they do?

TIA,
Arthur
