Answer / manish yadav

Problem:I think you are challenging the concept of foriegn
key here, a forign key should be unique or primary key in
the refrenced table,C_ID in your case is part of composite
key i.e. its not primary key itself and nither unique key.

Solution:In customer table you may not want to change
primary key but if possible add unique constraint on C_ID
column. It should work
