Learn how to use foreign keys in SQL to create referential integrity between two values in two database tables.
- [Instructor] Check constraints in SQL…allows us to create tables and specify that…the values inserted to one or more of…the columns in the table need to meet…a very specific, user-supplied rule,…so that we can control which values…will be accepted when we insert data,…and which values will be rejected.…So for example, we can create a table…and specify that, for a name column…that exists in this table, all values…inserted need to be uppercase.…
So, lowercase values will be rejected.…Let's see this example in action.…Create table, demo_table_new, this is…the name of the table, and specify two columns,…id number precision four, and name of…the varchar2 data type, precision 50.…So far, so good.…Now we specify a check constraint.…We do that by typing constraint,…followed by the constraint name,…which can be any name you choose,…check_uppercase_name, in my case,…and then specify the constraint type,…check, in our case.…
Check signifies that this constraint…will check incoming values when data is inserted…or updated in the table, and see that…
