Referential integrity constraint - relational constraints, Database Management System

Example

 

1599_referential integrity constraint.png

In the example given above, the value of C^ in every R tuple is matching with the value of C# in some S tuple. If a tuple has values (A6, B2, and C4) is added then it is invalid as referenced relation S doesn't contain C4. Therefore, it will be a violation of referential integrity constraint.
