primary key from some other table.The table in which foreign
key is defined is called a foreign table or detailed table.
The table that defines the primary key and is referenced by
the foreign table is called primary table or master table.

primary key must contain a value,must not contain null
value,redundant value and foreign key can contain redundant
value.

not null,empname char(40)not null,dept char(20),foreign
