(b) Referential Integrity Referential integrity is used to maintain accuracy and consistency of
data in a relationship. In Base, data can be linked between two or more tables with the help of
primary key and foreign key constraints. Referential integrity helps to avoid:
 Adding records to a related table if there is no associated record available in the primary key
table.
 Changing values in a primary if any dependent records are present in associated table(s).
 Deleting records from a primary key table if there are any matching related records available
in associated table(s).
(c) Many to Many Relationship: In this relationship, no table has the primary key column. It
signifies that atl the columns of primary key table are associated with all the columns of
associated table. Example: In the given tables EMP and DEPT, there is no primary key.
(d) Foreign key (FK): identifies a column or set of columns in one (referencing) table that refers
to a column or set of columns in another (referenced) tabid. The “one* side of a relation is
always the parent, andprovides the PK atributes to be copied. The *many” side of a relation is
aLways the child, into which the FK attributes are copied.

2. Goal Seek: A goal seek is a type of What- If analysis tool that is used to find out the correct
input value to get a desired output. The target value is first determined and the spreadsheet
calculates backwards to find which input value would yieLd the given output.
3. Solver: Solver is a spreadsheet tool that can be used to determine how the desired outcome
can be achieved by changing the assumptions in a model. It is a type of what-if analysis and is
useful when trying to determine the best outcome on a given set of more than two assumptions.
4. Subtotal Subtotal is a feature of spreadsheets to simplify the addition process when working
