Referential integrity refers to the consistency that must
be maintained between primary and foreign keys.
1.An insert into primary key table cannot violate
referential integrity and no checking is required
2.A deletion of foreign key value can not violate
referential integrity and no checking is required
3.Changes in primary key is allowed only when those values
are not in foreign key.
4.Insert and updates in foreign key is allowed only when it
has a matching value in primary key

values can be deleted together only
