Hi, Casey,

 You can find information at http://technet.oracle.com/, or Oracle7/8 manuals (hard copy or CDs). The basic syntax is

 alter table referencing_table add constraint constraint_name foreign key (id1, id2, id3...) references referenced_table (r_id1, r_id2, r_id3...) on delete cascade; (for Oracle7)

 alter table referencing_table add constraint constraint_name foreign key (id1, id2, id3...) references referenced_table (r_id1, r_id2, r_id3...) on delete cascade [or on delete set NULL]; (for Oracle8)
