DETAIL: Key (id)=(10) is still referenced from table "grades".
practice=# SELECT * FROM restaurants WHERE id='10
Paste the error text for the answer. We'll learn about foreign key constraints in the next reading, but take two seconds and come up with your own theory about what this message means.
14. Create a table
Create a new table called inspectors with the following properties:
first_name: String of inspector's first name, required
last_name: String of inspector's last name, required
borough: The borough the inspector works in, not required, one of Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, Staten Island.
inspectors should also have a system generated primary key property, id.
Note that the borough property requires you to use an enumerated type, which is a list of set values you can use for a property. You can use an existing enumerated type that will already be in the table: borough_options.
CREATE TYPE borough_type AS ENUM('Bronx', 'Brooklyn', 'Manhattan', 'Queens', 'Staten Island');
CREATE TABLE inspectors (
id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY GENERATED BY DEFAULT AS IDENTITY,
first_name TEXT NOT NULL,
last_name TEXT NOT NULL,
borough borough_type);
15. Update a table
