Well, if you are using the existing database schema then you already
have the constraint (ODB doesn't do any extra checking in this context
relying on the database to enforce constraints). Since you are not
interested in loading the pointed-to object (which, BTW, you can still
do with an object loading view if you change your mind), simply make
the member a string and be done with it:

std::string LogTicketID;
