title: REFERENTIAL_CONSTRAINTS
summary: Learn the `REFERENTIAL_CONSTRAINTS` information_schema table.

# REFERENTIAL_CONSTRAINTS

The `REFERENTIAL_CONSTRAINTS` table provides information about `FOREIGN KEY` relationships between tables. Note that TiDB currently does not enforce `FOREIGN KEY` constraints, or perform actions such as `ON DELETE CASCADE`.
