  2. Foreign key - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_key

    A foreign key is a set of attributes in a table that refers to the primary key of another table, linking these two tables. In the context of relational databases, a foreign key is subject to an inclusion dependency constraint that the tuples consisting of the foreign key attributes in one relation, R, must also exist in some other (not necessarily distinct) relation, S; furthermore that those ...

  3. Referential integrity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Referential_integrity

    For referential integrity to hold in a relational database, any column in a base table that is declared a foreign key can only contain either null values or values from a parent table's primary key or a candidate key. [2] In other words, when a foreign key value is used it must reference a valid, existing primary key in the parent table. For ...

  4. Relational database - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relational_database

    For instance, a constraint can restrict a given integer attribute to values between 1 and 10. Constraints provide one method of implementing business rules in the database and support subsequent data use within the application layer. SQL implements constraint functionality in the form of check constraints.

  5. Propagation constraint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propagation_constraint

    In database systems, a propagation constraint "details what should happen to a related table when we update a row or rows of a target table" (Paul Beynon-Davies, 2004, p.108). Tables are linked using primary key to foreign key relationships.

  7. Weak entity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weak_entity

    The foreign key is typically a primary key of an entity it is related to. The foreign key is an attribute of the identifying (or owner , parent , or dominant ) entity set . Each element in the weak entity set must have a relationship with exactly one element in the owner entity set, [ 1 ] and therefore, the relationship cannot be a many-to-many ...

  8. Surrogate key - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surrogate_key

    A surrogate key (or synthetic key, pseudokey, entity identifier, factless key, or technical key [citation needed]) in a database is a unique identifier for either an entity in the modeled world or an object in the database. The surrogate key is not derived from application data, unlike a natural (or business) key. [1]

  9. MySQL - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MySQL

    When using some storage engines other than the default of InnoDB, MySQL does not comply with the full SQL standard for some of the implemented functionality, including foreign key references. [104] Check constraints are parsed but ignored by all storage engines before MySQL version 8.0.15.
