=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>
