Microsoft Azure Data Fundamentals DP-900 Practice Question
You are designing a relational database and must guarantee that every row inserted into an Orders table references an existing row in the Customers table. Which database object should you define to enforce this parent-child relationship during insert and update operations?
A foreign key constraint enforces referential integrity between two tables by ensuring that values in the child table (Orders) match existing primary-key values in the parent table (Customers). If a corresponding parent row does not exist, the database engine blocks the insert or update, preventing orphaned rows. A view is a virtual table that does not enforce data integrity. An index speeds up data retrieval but cannot enforce relationships. A stored procedure can contain logic that checks data, but the enforcement would be manual and not inherent to the table definition.
