Changing the customer number on a record in the Orders table to a number that does not match a customer number in the customer table would violate referential integrity.

If deletes do not cascade, deleting a customer that has orders would violate referential integrity.

If deletes cascade, customer can be deleted and all orders for that customer will automatically be deleted.
