   Declarative Referential Integrity. That is constraints: CHECK and FOREIGN   
   KEY constraints. And also PRIMARY KEY and UNIQUE constraints, although you   
   cannot turn them off in SQL Server.   
      
   In SQL Server DEFAULT is also termed as a constraint, but that is a bit   
   incorrect.   
      
   DRI should be seen in oppsition to RI checks implemented in triggrs.
