This is done by setting relationship between the tables of a database. The types are
One-to-One relationship :
In this type of relationship, one specific record of a master table has one and only one
corresponding record in the transaction table.
One-to-Many relationship
In this type of relationship, one specific record of the master table has more than one
corresponding records in the related transaction table.
Many-to-Many relationship
In this type of relationship, there will be multiple records in the master table that correspond to
multiple records in the transaction table as well.

b) Write about the four options of relationship between tables to maintain the Referential
Integrity.
• No action –This option states that a user should not be allowed to update or delete any record in
the master table if any related record exists in the transaction table.
• Update cascade – This option allows the user to delete or update the referenced field but along
with it all the related records in any of the transaction tables will also be deleted or updated.
• Set NULL – This option assigns NULL value to all the related fields if the master record is
deleted or updated.
• Set default – This option assigns any fixed default value to all the related fields if the master
record is deleted or updated.
