What is referential integrity? What are the advantages of it?

Answer Posted / anand

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.
