Expert Solution & Answer
Chapter 2, Problem 2.20RQ
Explanation of Solution
Referential integrity:
- Referential integrity is supported by Relational
Database Management System (RDBMS). - It created by aggregating foreign and primary keys.
- Relational database is basically a collection of tables where every table has a specific key assigned to it, which is known as a primary key.
- In relational databases, a primary key is a key that is used for uniquely identifying and defining the characteristics of each row.
- The values in each row of a table are unique. Two tables are related to each other with the help of a foreign key.
- A primary key attribute in one table is the foreign key for another table. In a logical way, a foreign key is used to establish a relationship between two tables.
- If the record in the referenced table is deleted then, all the records related to that referenced record will be deleted.
Example:
- It gives assurance for one value in an entity which is a foreign key attribute and will not get lost or disassociated from the parent entity...

Although you measure your products in kilograms, you often get orders in both pounds and ounces. You have decided that rather than have to look up conversions all the time, you could use Python code to take inputs to make conversions between the different units of measurement. You will write three blocks of code. The first will convert kilograms to pounds and ounces. The second will convert pounds to kilograms and ounces. The third will convert ounces to kilograms and pounds. The conversions are as follows: 1 kilogram = 35.274 ounces 1 kilogram = 2.20462 pounds 1 pound = 0.453592 kilograms 1 pound = 16 ounces 1 ounce = 0.0283 kilograms 1 ounce = 0.0625 pounds For the purposes of this activity the template for a function has been provided.
