Declarative Referential Integrity. That is constraints: CHECK and FOREIGN 
KEY constraints. And also PRIMARY KEY and UNIQUE constraints, although you 
cannot turn them off in SQL Server.

In SQL Server DEFAULT is also termed as a constraint, but that is a bit 
incorrect.

DRI should be seen in oppsition to RI checks implemented in triggrs.
