Is there a way that I can have Oracle automatically update my foreign key that references my primary key, when I update the primary key?

Use ON UPDATE CASCADE CONSTRAINT in the foreign key column table.
This will cause all the referenced row to be updated once the primary key row is updated.

Hi Sandeep,
I saw Ur response in the faq posting regarding the Update-cascade.
I need the same task to perform. (Update Master table's Primary key, and the detail tables are updated automatically!)

But I wonder, Is there any constraint named 'On update cascade'
I know there is one for delete but what about Update
---
SQL> create table x2 (no number references master(no) on update cascade);
create table x2 (no number references master(no) on update cascade)
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00905: missing keyword
---
would you mind to clarify.
Thanks
Manoj !
