create table book (
    book_cod    integer primary key,
    book_autor    integer
            references author(author_cod)
            on delete cascade,
    book_title    char(30)
);


 What is bad on PG's docs? ...see:

[ CONSTRAINT name ] REFERENCES reftable [ ( refcolumn ) ]
    [ MATCH matchtype ]
    [ ON DELETE action ]
    [ ON UPDATE action ]
    [ [ NOT ] DEFERRABLE ]
    [ INITIALLY checktime ]
