Question

Match the following with respect to RDBMS:

A. Entity integrity

1. Application-specific business rules beyond the general entity, domain and referential constraints

B. Domain integrity

2. Foreign-key values must match a referenced key, except where NULL is permitted

C. Referential integrity

3. Column values must satisfy the defined domain

D. User defined integrity

4. Primary-key values must be unique and non-NULL

The correct answer is

A - 4, B - 3, C - 2, D - 1

The matching is A–4, B–3, C–2, D–1. Entity integrity requires a unique, non-NULL primary key; domain integrity constrains column values; referential integrity maintains valid foreign-key references; user-defined integrity enforces additional business rules. Referential integrity can be maintained by actions such as cascading deletion, so it does not always prohibit deleting a referenced row.
