Entity Integrity - ✔️✔️is a basic constraint of database relational model (abbreviated
RM) that refers to the morphology of the primary key but afterwards, the same format is
applied to the foreign key and, also to any of simple components of any of two. The
relational model states that every relation (or table) must have an identifier, called the
primary key (abbreviated PK), in such a way that every row of the same relation be
identifiable by its content, that is, by a unique and minimal value. The PK is a not empty
set of attributes (or columns)
