a2 b2 X2 a1
X3 a2

referencing rows when the referenced ones
are deleted or updated.

referenced ones.
• IF WE DELETE row 1(a1) FROM parent it will delete rows 1 and 2 entries from
child.

• CASCADEif the parent primary key is changed, the child value will also
change to reflect that.
• IF WE Update in row 1(a1) FROM parent it will update rows 1 and 2 entries
from child.
