The RI Builder is displayed when you:

  • Double-click a relationship line between two tables in the Database Designer and choose the Referential Integrity button in the Edit Relationship dialog box.
  • Choose Edit Referential Integrity from the Database Designer shortcut menu.
  • Choose Edit Referential Integrity from the Database menu.
