| Question 14 |
Let R(a,b,c) and S(d,e,f) be two relations in which d is the foreign key of S that refers to the primary key of R. Consider the following four operations R and S
(a) Insert into R (b) Insert into S (c) Delete from R (d) Delete from S
Which of the following can cause violation of the referential integrity constraint above?
| None of (a), (b), (c) or (d) can cause its violation | |
| All of (a), (b), (c) and (d) can cause its violation | |
| Both (a) and (d) can cause its violation | |
| Both (b) and (c) can cause its violation |
Question 14 Explanation:
Let take example:
Here ‘d’ is the foreign key of S and let ‘a’ is the primary key of R.
(A) Insertion into R: will cause no violation.
(B) Insertion into S: may cause violation because there may not be entry of the tuple in relation R. Example entry of 〈S4, __, __〉 is not allowed.
(C) Delete from R: may cause violation. For example, deletion of tuple 〈S2, __, __〉 will cause violation as there is entry of S2 in the foreign key table.
(D) Delete from S: will cause no violation as it does not result inconsistency.
