Part A:  Data Integrity

This week’s reading refers to entity and referential integrity within databases.  Without these items, your database would probably not work at all, and if you got it to work, it would break easily or give you crazy responses. 

Get the database into MySQL Workbench 

This is going to require a little bit of SQL from you. 

1.       Log into MySQL Workbench and create a new database.  Name it “my_university.”
