The Messiah Oratorio basically chronicles Christ's life based upon the stories told in the New Testament, however the largest selection of Biblical text used in this oratorio comes from the Old Testament, mostly the books of Isaiah, Haggai and Malachi.

What work by Handel is performed at Christmas?

Actually, it's an Oratorio, not a musical ... The Messiah. It actually has 3 parts - the first part is generally performed at Christmas time. The 2nd part is performed around Easter. Although the Hallelujah Chorus is sung most often at Christmas, it was originally intended, by Handel, to be used only at Easter, as it is included in the Easter portion of that oratorio.


What is foreign key?

In the context of relational databases, a foreign key is a referential constraint between two tables.[1] The foreign key identifies a column or a set of columns in one (referencing) table that refers to a column or set of columns in another (referenced) table. The columns in the referencing table must be the primary key or other candidate key in the referenced table. The values in one row of the referencing columns must occur in a single row in the referenced table. Thus, a row in the referencing table cannot contain values that don't exist in the referenced table (except potentially NULL). This way references can be made to link information together and it is an essential part of database normalization. Multiple rows in the referencing table may refer to the same row in the referenced table. Most of the time, it reflects the one (master table, or referenced table) to many (child table, or referencing table) relationship. The referencing and referenced table may be the same table, i.e. the foreign key refers back to the same table. Such a foreign key is known in SQL:2003 as self-referencing or recursive foreign key. A table may have multiple foreign keys, and each foreign key can have a different referenced table. Each foreign key is enforced independently by the database system. Therefore, cascading relationships between tables can be established using foreign keys. Improper foreign key/primary key relationships or not enforcing those relationships are often the source of many database and data modeling problems.
