Entity and referential integrity are the most fundamental constraints that any relational database should satisfy. We re-examine these fundamental constraints in the context of incomplete relations, which may have null values of the types “value exists but is unknown” and “value does not exist”. We argue that in practice the restrictions that these constraints impose on the occurrences of null values in relations are too strict. We justify a generalisation of the said constraints wherein we use...
