+NOTE: This test is designed to implement the "referential constraint" as specified in ANSI SQL 92 which states the following:
+   "A referential constraint is satisfied if one of the following con-
+    ditions is true, depending on the <match option> specified in the
+    <referential constraint definition>:
+
+    -  If no <match type> was specified then, for each row R1 of the
+        referencing table, either at least one of the values of the
+        referencing columns in R1 shall be a null value, or the value of
+        each referencing column in R1 shall be equal to the value of the
+        corresponding referenced column in some row of the referenced
+        table."
+
+The implications of this standard is that if one column is NULL in a compound foreign key, the other column
+does NOT need to match a row in a referenced unique key. This is implemented by first excluding any
+rows from the test that have a NULL value in any of the columns.
