Good day,

Can the both terms “declarative referential integrity” and
“referential integrity” be used interchangeably or are there
differences?

Thanks and brgds

A trigger can be used to enforce referential integrity, but contains
procedural code and thus is not declarative. A foreign key or check
constraint, or assertion object, on the other hand, are declarative.
