Subject: Constraint Symbol


What is the definition of the constraint symbol there is no example of it in
the docs ?

Also on a few tables i get errors trying to setup foreign keys

ALTER TABLE departments
ADD FOREIGN KEY (departmentID) REFERENCES departments_join(departmentID)
ON UPDATE CASCADE

this for example gives me

Cannot add or update a child row: a foreign key constraint fails

Any ideas ?
