Referential integrity constraints require that foreign key
values in one table correspond to primary key values in another. If the value
of the primary key is changed -- that is, updated -- the value of the foreign
key must immediately be changed to match it. Cascading updates will set this
change to be done automatically by the DBMS whenever necessary.
