I am having trouble creating multiple foreign keys on a table so that I can set up cascading update and cascading delete from two different primary tables. I am using the diagram to do this but when I try to save the diagram I get the following error.
ODBC error: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]ALTER TABLE statement conflicted with COLUMN FOREIGN KEY constraint 'FK_IndResults_RaceData'. The conflict occurred in database 'VIRA', table 'RaceData', column 'RaceID'.
What would cause this to happen? Is it possible that I have records in the foreign table that do not transfer back to the primary table?
Thanks!Is it possible that I have records in the foreign table that do not transfer back to the primary table?Not just possible, nearly guaranteed.
The best answer is to create a query that will show you the offending rows, then go and fix them. You can often pick a value that makes a reasonable default (sometimes NULL works well, meaning there isn't any relationship). Sometimes you've got to figure out what FK value you need, which can be a lot of work.
