I'm just impressed they managed to fit all this into a single exam question. That's some serious database compression right there!

Exactly, it's a way to link the two tables together and prevent any inconsistencies.

So, basically, the foreign key constraint ensures that you can't delete a record in the 'master' table if it's being referenced in the 'record' table.

Option E? Really? These are perfectly valid SQL statements. Someone needs to brush up on their database knowledge.

Haha, good thing the 'record' table doesn't have a column called 'count_of_beers'. That would be a whole different kind of foreign key constraint!

I agree with Stephane. This is a classic example of a foreign key constraint, which prevents orphaned records in the dependent table.

Option C is the correct answer. The foreign key constraint ensures that the corresponding row in the master table cannot be deleted if there is a reference to it in the record table.

Hmm, that makes sense too. It's important to understand the implications of foreign key constraints in database design.

I disagree, I believe the answer is A. The foreign key constraint prevents any changes to the master table if a row exists in the record table.
