Disable a Foreign Key Constraint for Replication
Microsoft SQL Server supports replication. Select the option to disable a foreign key constraint during replication if the constraint is specific to the source database and may unnecessarily prevent new data from being entered into the destination database.
- In the Database window, click Database Diagrams
under Objects, click the database diagram you want to open, and then click Design on the Database window toolbar.
- In your database diagram, right-click the table containing the foreign key, then select Properties from the shortcut menu.
- Choose the Relationships tab.
- Select the relationship from the Selected relationship list.
- Clear the Enforce relationship for replication check box.
