Melvin is saying to:
1. create a table named valid_industry,
2. populate it with the valid industries,

valid_industry.industry, and then
4. drop the constraint invalid_industry.
Got it. Hadn'

CREATE TABLE fks_for_tables
( fks_id serial
fks_values varchar(20),
CONSTRAINT fks_pkey PRIMARY KEY (fks_id),
CONSTRAINT fks-unique UNIQUE fks_values
)
Then
INSERT INTO fks_for_tables
(fks_values)
VALUES
( 'Agriculture'),
('Business'),
