Explanation of Solution
Referential integrity:
- Referential integrity is the rule that if a table “R” contains a foreign key that equals the table “Q” primary key, then the value of this foreign key must either equivalent value of the primary key for some row in the table “Q” or be null.
Example:
The example for the referential integrity constraints is given below:
STUDENT table:
STUDENT_ID | STUDENT_NAME | DEPARTMENT |
304 | John | Computer Science |
608 | Rose | Earth Science |
BOOKS table:
BOOK_ID | BOOK_NAME | STUDENT_ID |
CS123 | SQL | 304 |
CS576 | C++ | 304 |
CS876 | Java Programming | 302 |
ES103 | Earth Science Basics | 608 |
Explanation:
From the above two tables,
- The primary key of “STUDENT” table is “STUDENT_ID”.
- The primary key of “BOOKS” table is “BOOK_ID” and the foreign key of “BOOKS” table is “STUDENT_ID”...
