SQL Foreign key Constraint



A Foreign key in one table points to a primary key in another table.
Firstly we create two tables:-
employee” table: -

E_Id
Name
Address
1
Sachin
Kanpur
2
Amit
Aligarh
3
Sumt
Etah

Emp” table
Emp_id
dept
E_Id
1
IT
2
2
sales
1

The SQL Foreign key constraint on create table
Create table Emp
(
Emp_id int NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
dept varchar (250) NOT NULL,
E_Id int Foreign Key references employee(E_Id)
)

SQL foreign Key constraint on ALTER Table
ALTER Table Emp
Add foreign key (E_Id)
References Employee (E_Id)

Drop a Foreign Key Constraint –
Alter table Emp
Drop contraint E_Id
