Basics

The term integrity in databases refers to the accuracy and


consistency of data. The integrity control can set the following
types of constraints on the data items:
Basic integrity constraints
Advanced integrity constraints
Outline Integrity Control Basic Integrity Preservation Problems

Basic integrity constraints

The basic integrity constraints are of following four types:


Defining the primary key constraint
– specified as primary key (A1 , . . . , Ak )
Defining the foreign key constraint
– specified as foreign key (Ap , . . . , Aq ) references R
Defining the null constraint
– specified as not null
Defining the check constraint
– specified as check <predicate>

Consider a relational schema

BRANCH = hbranch id : integer , branch name :


string , branch city : string , assets : reali
CUSTOMER = hcustomer id : integer , customer name :
string , customer street : string , customer city :
string , account number : integer i
LOAN =
hloan number : integer , branch name : string , amount : reali
BORROWER =
hcustomer name : string , loan number : integer i
ACCOUNT = haccount number : integer , branch name :
string , balance : reali
DEPOSITOR =
hcustomer name : string , account number : integer i

Basic integrity constraints – primary key

The table BRANCH can be created with the following SQL query:

create table BRANCH(


branch id int(10) not null,
branch name varchar(30),
branch city varchar(30),
assets float(20,2),
primary key (branch id)
);

Note: Multiple attributes can be defined (by putting them


together as arguments separated by comma) as the primary key.

Basic integrity constraints – foreign key

The table CUSTOMER can be created with the following SQL query:

create table CUSTOMER(


customer id int(20) not null,
customer name varchar(30),
customer street varchar(30),
customer city varchar(30),
account number int(20),
primary key (customer id),
foreign key (account number) references Account
);

Basic integrity constraints – null

The table LOAN can be created with the following SQL query:

create table LOAN(


loan number int(10) not null,
branch name varchar(30),
amount float(15,2)
);
Outline Integrity Control Basic Integrity Preservation Problems

Basic integrity constraints – check

It can be ensured that a predicate on the attributes (say the


amount is non-negative) must be satisfied by every tuple in the
table LOAN by writing an SQL query as follows:

create table LOAN(


loan number int(10) not null,
branch name varchar(30),
amount float(15,2),
check (amount >= 0)
);

Problems

1 Consider the following schema of an online code repository


system like GitHub:
Contributor =
hcontributor name : string , contributor id : integer i
Code-Group = hcontributor id : integer , code group :
string , count submissions : integer i
Set the basic integrity constraints on this schema.
