*for decimal data type, we can only insert 10 digits (including decimal point)
Correct: 12345678.91
Wrong: 123456789.91
However if we insert 3 decimal point (eg: 12345678.456)
It will automatically round off to 2 decimal points

4. Try to insert a new row in Book Table where PublisherID does not exist in
Publisher table. Can or cannot? Why?
Cannot PublisherID in Book Table is foreign key
While we cannot insert more than 1 value in the fk column even though the
values are valid

5. Try to delete the row for Publisher named Deitel. Can or cannot? Why
Cannot
Because there is related data in the same row (‘P02’) which is used in the FK
of Book Table

6. Try to delete the row for Publisher named MacHill. Can or cannot? Why
Can
Because its PK (‘P04’) is not used in the FK of Book Table

7. Try to delete any row for a book. Can or cannot? Why


Can
Because the BookID is not use as FK in another related table
