=head1 NAME
DB::Object::Constraint::Foreign - Table Foreign Key Constraint Class
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use DB::Object::Constraint::Foreign;
my $foreign = DB::Object::Constraint::Foreign->new(
expr => q{FOREIGN KEY (lang) REFERENCES language(lang) ON DELETE RESTRICT},
fields => [qw( lang )],
match => 'simple',
on_delete => 'restrict',
on_update => 'nothing',
name => 'fk_user_info_lang',
table => 'language',
) || die( DB::Object::Constraint::Foreign->error, "\n" );
=head1 VERSION
v0.1.0
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This class represents a table foreign key constraint. It is instantiated by the L<structure|DB::Object::Tables/structure> method when retrieving the table structure details.
=head1 CONSTRUCTOR
=head2 new
To instantiate new object, you can pass an hash or hash reference of properties matching the method names available below.
=head1 METHODS
=head2 expr
Sets or gets the foreign key constraint expression.
It returns a L<scalar object|Module::Generic::Scalar>
=head2 fields
Sets or gets an array reference of table field names associated with this constraint.
It returns a L<array object|Module::Generic::Array>
=head2 match
Sets or gets the method a foreign key constraint matches.
For example: C<full>, C<partial> and C<simple>
It returns a L<scalar object|Module::Generic::Scalar>
=head2 name
Sets or gets the foreign key constraint name.
It returns a L<scalar object|Module::Generic::Scalar>
=head2 on_delete
Sets or gets the action taken by the database upon deletion of this foreign key.
For example: C<nothing>, C<restrict>, C<cascade>, C<null> or C<default>
It returns a L<scalar object|Module::Generic::Scalar>
=head2 on_update
Sets or gets the action taken by the database upon update of this foreign key.
For example: C<nothing>, C<restrict>, C<cascade>, C<null> or C<default>
It returns a L<scalar object|Module::Generic::Scalar>
=head2 table
Sets or gets the table name for this foreign key.
It returns a L<scalar object|Module::Generic::Scalar>
