Never said that. And I'm having difficulty following what point you're trying to make because there's little coherence or grammar to your writing.
Referential integrity is a real DBMS term, so I don't know why you're poo-pooing it. It means never having dangling foreign key references.
The drop or preserve semantics of RI are dependent on R-E DBMS design (foreign keys). RI is fundamental to data hygiene, unless you'd prefer customers have a huge mess and then blame you for it.
FoxPro is/was based on dBASE II/III. R:BASE predates it by 3 years.
Good luck to you!
