Answer / iain hambleton

Expanding on the two previous explanations, imagine any
parent/child relationship, for example a manufacturer and
product relationship that a retailer would have in it's
inventory system. Obviously any product must have been
manufactured by someone (i.e. a product cannot exist
without a manufacturer). Imagine then if in the inventory
system above, some muppet deleted records from the
manufacturer table. This would lead to products existing
in the system without a corresponding manufacturer record -
this is logically inconsistent data (as it does not fit
with the real world situation that the data is trying to
model).

If a foreign key constraint were to have been placed
between the two tables, then the muppet from above would
either have been unable to delete the manufacturer records
without first visiting the products table and deleting all
products that particular manufactures made or when the
manufacturers were deleted, all products linked to them
would have been automatically deleted also (this latter
situation is called a cascade delete – powerful and
dangerous stuff).

Either way, the remaining data would have been left
consistent with the real world manufacturer/product
relationship (though of course large swathes of data may
still have been deleted).

Referential integrity is a database concept that ensures
that relationships between tables remain consistent. When
one table has a foreign key to another table, the concept
of referential integrity states that you may not add a
record to the table that contains the foreign key unless
there is a corresponding record in the linked table. It
also includes the techniques known as cascading update and
cascading delete, which ensure that changes made to the
linked table are reflected in the primary table.

Answer / guest

Referential Integrity rule defines relationship between two
or more tables.Performing any operations on one table
affects another table automaticlly.Like EMP AND DEPT table
relationship.DEPTNO is a primary key in DEPT table and
Foreign key in EMP table.Only those DeptNo can be inserted
into EMP table which exists in DEPT table.
