31. Which statement about a FOREIGN KEY constraint is true? Mark

for Review
(1) Points
 An index is automatically created for a FOREIGN KEY
constraint.

A FOREIGN KEY constraint allows the constrained

column to contain
values that exist in the primary key column of the parent table. (*)

A FOREIGN KEY constraint requires that a list of

allowed values be
checked before a value can be added to the constrained column.

A FOREIGN KEY column can have a different data type

from the
primary key column that it references.
