Referential integrity
Referential integrity in a relational database is
consistency between coupled tables. Referential integrity
is usually enforced by the combination of a primary key or
candidate key (alternate key) and a foreign key. For
referential integrity to hold, any field in a table that is
declared a foreign key can contain only values from a
parent table's primary key or a candidate key. For
instance, deleting a record that contains a value referred
to by a foreign key in another table would break
referential integrity. A relational database management
system (RDBMS) enforces referential integrity, normally
either by deleting the foreign key rows as well to maintain
integrity, or by returning an error and not performing the
delete. Which method is used would be determined by the
referential integrity constraint, as defined in the data
dictionary.

Answer / daynik

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.
