It points out what features of integrity constraints in SQL support which features of the entity-relationship model by discussing how to map an entity-relationship schema into a SQL schema. In order to organize
Entity Framework Core allows you to specify check constraints in SQL - this helps tighten your data model and ensure that no inconsistent or invalid ever makes it into your precious tables. However, EF does not implicitly generate check constraints for you, even though in some cases it could;...
Improper use can lead to missing constraints in the database schema, so reviewing the generated SQL scripts to ensure they align with the expected design is important. As a best practice, instead of placing all the configurations inside the OnModelCreating() method, we can extract them into ...

After a many-to-many relationship, one of the more difficult relationships to express in SQL is a recursive relationship. This is a nonidentifying, nonmandatory relationship in which the same entity is both the parent and the child. Figure 8.10 shows the entity DimEmployee, with EmployeeKey be...
Data Integrity:ER diagrams facilitate the identification and enforcement of data integrity constraints. By visually representing relationships and cardinality between entities, designers can define constraints that maintain the integrity and consistency of the data stored in the database. These constraints pre...
Tables that map to the same bean must not have referential integrity constraints declared between their primary keys. If they do, removal of a bean instance can result in a runtime error. You map the cmp-fields of a bean to the columns of a table using the table-map element in weblogic...
38.5Basing an Entity Object on a PL/SQL Package API If you have a PL/SQL package that encapsulates insert, update, and delete access to an underlying table, you can override the default DML processing event for the entity object that represents that table to invoke the procedures in your PL...
Update: this feature has been postponed and will not be included in Entity Framework 5.Unique Constraints in the Entity FrameworkWe’ve been busy working on enabling unique constraints in the Entity Framework. Unique Constraints allow you to model candidate keys (also known as alternate keys, or...
Embodiments extend the relational model and language of standard SQL, to recognize features of higher level entity-relationship models (ERMs). SQL extensions implemented in the data
