Table Creation and Data Manipulation Commands — Question 4
Back to all questionsFOREIGN KEY commands establish relationships between tables by linking columns in one table to the PRIMARY KEY or a unique key in another table. This linkage ensures referential integrity, meaning that values in the FOREIGN KEY column(s) of the referencing table must match values in the PRIMARY KEY or unique key column(s) of the referenced table. Therefore, FOREIGN KEY commands are directly related to PRIMARY KEY commands as they rely on the unique identification provided by PRIMARY KEY constraints in other tables.
