Referential Integrity is how you call the feature of having related
tables linked by a "common" field, like a master table and s detail
table, in practical examples: "Invoices" would be a master table and
"Invoice's products" its detail table.

Multi Generational Architecture is the way Firebird handles
concurrency. It uses records versions to control what data each
transaction is "seeing". It is also called Versioning.

I hope this clarifies things up. If you need more info:
