Action taken when a Transact-SQL statement violates the referential integrity that is defined by this constraint. Returns one of the following: NO ACTIONCASCADESET NULLSET DEFAULT If NO ACTION is specified on ON UPDATE for this constraint, the update of the primary key that is referenced in the constraint will not be propagated to the foreign key. If such an update of a primary key will cause a referential integrity violation because at least one foreign key contains the same value, SQL Server will not make any change to the parent and referring tables. SQL Server also will raise an error. If CASCADE is specified on ON UPDATE for this constraint, any change to the primary key value is automatically propagated to the foreign key value.
