Returns a value indicating whether a set value for this foreign key is guaranteed to reference an existing principal — that is, the relationship is both required (IsRequired) and constrained (IsConstrained). Query consults this to decide whether a dependent-to-principal navigation can be expanded with an inner join (and whether such a join can be pruned); an unconstrained relationship is always treated as optional even when its foreign key properties are non-nullable.
