They *are* optional.

The first chapter is about getting the data in and out.  That is not 
optional for using a database.  Transactions, views, foreign keys, 
primary keys even, and everything else that some people think is 
essential for a "real" database are in fact optional.  Remember that 
the tutorial is intended for people starting from zero.  Let's not 
overwhelm them right away.
