Define referential integrity constraint

Explanation of Solution

Refential Integrity constraint is the concept used in a relational database which ensures that the tables in the database are in a consistent state. This statement means that if there is any foreign key used in the database, it must be agreed with the primary key which is referenced from that foreign key. Any changes in the primary key must be updated in the foreign key as well.
