If this field is linked to a foreign key, this attribute specifies the table containing the foreign key

If the keys have the same name, this attribute should specify the foreign key's table name.

If the keys have different names, set this to a hash with keys table and field, where field is the name in the other table.

Required if this column references a foreign key.
