Hi
How do you add foreign keys in VS 2005 to a sdf file? I'm using
the server explorer, where I can add primary keys but no foreign keys.
What's the best free tool for editing sdf files? I can't use
publication, because I'm using SQL Express. Primework's DataPort
Component/Wizard don't seem to work for me.
Thanks!

Lets say that I have a 3 tables: 1) Sku, 2) ReceiptDetail and 3) OrderDetail. In the last 2, is a Sku column which needs to refer to the Sku table. I create ForeignKeys in the ReceiptDetail & OrderDetail pointing to the Sku table as follows:
Alter Table ReceiptDetail Add Constraint fk_ReceiptDetail_SkuKey Foreign Key (SkuKey) References Sku (SkuKey) On Update Cascade On Delete No Action;
The first 'Alter' (for ReceiptDetail) works, but the second gives me the following message:
Introducing FOREIGN KEY constraint 'fk_OrderDetail_SkuKey' on table 'OrderDetail' may cause cycles or multiple cascade paths. Specify ON DELETE NO ACTION or ON UPDATE NO ACTION, or modify other FOREIGN KEY constraints.
This worked in Sql Server 2000, but not 2005. I just wanted the Sku updated in the all other tables when updated in the main Sku table. I guess that I could use a trigger, but shouldn't need to.
Okay, this is driving me nuts. It *should* be simple but it is not. I've spent the last 4 hours scouring the web for what should be a simple thing to find out.
I have the following tables, but everytime I attempt to create a foreign key constraint for the StudentLocations table I get an 'invalid type' error. I have a GUID as the PK for the Students and the Locations table. However, since I cannot create two GUIDs (as far as I can tell) for my StudentLocations table, I have instead defined the StudentLocations.StudentID, and StudentLocations.LocationID as binary(16). Unfortunately, I can't match this binary(16) to the GUID Identity in a foreign key because I keep getting this stupid error of 'invalid conversion type!'.
So, how do I do what I am trying to do using GUIDs as my PK for the Students and Locations tables, and the above defined StudentID, LocationID in a StudentLocations table?
Thanks in advance for answering this question. I should spend 5 minutes searching and then come here in the future...it's way less frustrating!:

Hello,
I want to make a poll and have to use a foreign key in my database. This is not possible in Web Matrix so I have to use SQL Enterprise Manager. But don't know how. I read the help but can't figure it out. Can someone help me??? Thanks in advance.

Hi!
Is it possible in SQL 6.5 to create a Foreign Key on a field that
has a datatype of SMALLINT? I have created FK`s with
other datatypes, but it doesn`t seem to work with this particular
datatype. Is there some trick to this?
Thank you for your assistance!

When you set a foreign key to reference a primary key on another table, does the foreign key automatically update? Can anyone explain just how to make a relational table from just the nuts and bolts SQL statements.

Hi Friends,Is there any way to get the table name which is referenced by theforeign keyfor example: consider two table "Staff" and "Department"Staff with following columnsPK_IDFK_DepartmentIDNameAddressDepartment with following columnsPK_DepartmentIDDeptNameActually what i need is: Initially i would be having the table name as"Staff"from Staff table i need to identify that the column FK_DepartmentID isa foreign keyand the primary key is in the Department tablei need to traverse from Staff table and identify that FK_DepartmentIDis a primary key in Department tablethis has to be accomplished by sql query.... probably this could befetched fromData Dictionary but i couldnt find the relationship between the systemtables.ThanksArunDhaJ
View 1 Replies View RelatedI would like to create a foreign key but the Primary table has 2 fields as it Primary Key. Is there a way to create a Foreign Key that links only on one field of the primary key.
Ex: table 1: id int , language char(2), description varchar(100) PK = ID + language
table 2 : id int, idlanguage int PK = id FK (idLanguage refers to id from table 1)
This cause an error because the foreign key does not include all part of the primary key.

Hi everyone,
My main table has a column named "customer" which is a foreign key pointed to my secondary table consisted of a column "customer_id".
I wanted to change my secondary table's customer_id's name into another name whereby deleting it and create a new column instead (i dont know another way of changing names by code) but i'm not allowed to do that due to "customer_is"'s being attached to my main table as FK.
Any suggestion how to do it ?
Thanks a lot.

I have a one to many relationship between two tables. The master table is keyed using an int ID field set to IsIdentity yes and this is the primary key. The field name is ChurchID. Likewise the detail table has such a field as it's primary key and is named ContactID.
I carry the ChurchID field in the detail table and would like to make it the foreign key. I could not find this explained in the two books I have and the help was anything but that )perhaps it's just me afterall).
Well, any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated as I find myself at a standstill until this can be resolved.
Thanks in advance.
When I try to insert a record on my DB (SQL 2005 Express) I get a constraint error. This is my table setup which has been simplified to expose the problem I have:
Categories TABLEint CatId PKvarchar CatName :
Items TABLEint ItemId PKvarchar ItemName :
X_Items_Categoriesint CatIdint ItemId
So basically I have a one-to-many relationship between Items and Categories, in other words each item is associated to one or more categories and this association is done via the X_Items_Categories cross table. On this cross table I set two constraints:
The CatId of each entry in the cross table (X_Items_Categories) must exist in the Category table, and
I am new beginner for SQL .I have requirement of using foreign key in tables I have created earlier.Can anyone tell me the syntax for the same ?
Please help me, Your suggestions are welcome.
I'm trying to enter data into a SqlServer 2005 database programatically. The databases are part of an open source program I have. I'm encountering the following error when I try to enter data into a particular table:The INSERT statement conflicted with the FOREIGN KEY constraint "FK_CMRC_ProductImages_CMRC_Products". The conflict occurred in database "hscom", table "dbo.CSK_Store_Product", column 'productID'. The statement has been terminated. I understand what's happening theoretically, but I don't know where to look for where the constraint is defined, or how to fix it. I don't see FK_CMRC_ProductImages_CMRC_Products as a file name or a stored procedure. Diane

I'm using stored procedures to update my tables. If I disable the foreign key constraint all works perfectly. Otherwise I get this error:INSERT statement conflicted with TABLE FOREIGN KEY constraint 'FK_wansub_invoice'. The conflict occurred in database 'test1', table 'invoice'. The statement has been terminated. I don't understand why I'm getting the error, because when I disable the constraint even the foreign key fields are updated properly and there is no apparent conflict with the linked table. I've included my c# code and the stored procedure below.FYI the foreign keys in question are InvoiceDate, AccountNum, CarrierId, and Cycle. These are the primary keys in the "invoice" table, and foreign keys in the "wansub" table. It is vital that all records in the wansub table are matched with a record in the invoice table, so I have to have this constraint in place. C# code to create parameters and call the sp:

Hi
I have a one to many relationship between two MS SQL tables.
When inserting a record in the master table (primary key is autoinc) how can I get this value for setting in the foreign key details table?
TIA
i have 3 table which is merchant, merchantcategory and merchantitem.
merchantcategory's foreign key is refer to merchant_id, and merchantitem's foreign key is refer to merchantcategory_id......
the problem is like this....
i would like to select all the available items from merchantitem, but i only have the information of merchant_id, so what method should i use to get these output ??
i am using the functions which generated by codesmith with wilson ORMapper method.....
i really hope that someone will provide me the solution......thanks
Hello Folks,
Well I've hit the wall on this one:
I'm wondering if one can designate a conditional foreign key that relates to one of many different tables depending on the "type" column in the foreign key's. My goal is to come up with some SQL code that will allow for this in a Create table statement. (By the way I'm using MS SQL-7 but I'm wondering if this can be done in general.)
I have two simple cases below that show illustrate what I'm trying to do:
Thanks in advance, -JerryZZ
---------------------------------------------------------
Case 1: The foreign key relation is to a primary key
Table: Invoices
-Fields:
---InvoiceID ..... (primary key)
---BilleeID ...... (fkey to Manfacturers.ManfID IF BilleeType=M)
...................(fkey to Distibutors.DistID IF BilleeType=D)
---BilleeType .....(constraint = M or D)
Table: Manufacturers
-Fields:
---ManfID ........ (primary key)
---CompanyName.. (not null)
Table: Distributors
-Fields:
---DistID ........ (primary key)
---CompanyName .. (not null)
---------------------------------------------------------
Case 2: The foreign key relation is to a unique "not null" non-primary key
Table: InvoicesEmail
-Fields:
---InvoiceID ..... (primary key)
---EmailAddress .. (fkey to Manfacturers.EmailAddress IF BilleeType=M)
...................(fkey to Distibutors.EmailAddress IF BilleeType=D)
---BilleeType .....(constraint = M or D)
Table: Manufacturers
-Fields:
---ManfID ........ (primary key)
---EmailAddress .. (unique, not null)
Table: Distributors

alter table titleauthor
add constraint FK__titleauth__au_id__164452B1 foreign key (au_id) references authors(au_id)

Anybody can please tell me where is wrong?
Thank you so much!!!
student --- enrollment is 1- to - many . ssn is pk in student. ssn and courseid is pk in enrollment. later I added the foreign key constraint FK_SSN in enrollment table reference student table. it is ok.
enrollment --- lessonhistory is 1-to -many, ssn, courseid and lessonid is pk in lessonhistory . I tried to set FK_SSN foreign key constraint in lessonhistory table reference enrollment table, it always show error message " no primary key in referewnce talbe enrollment "
I don't know how to fix it. could you help me out, thanks!!
Could someone enlighten me as to the advantage of using the foreign key tab when in table design mode in the Enterprise Manager. Does it have any advantages ?? Is it necessary ??
thanks in advance

I haven't tried, but does anyone know if its possible to a have a foreign key for two tables when the tables reside in different databases (on the same server)?
