Sql error on update : The UPDATE statement conflicted with the FOREIGN KEY constraint
This error is encountered when the primary key of a table is updated but it is referenced by a foreign key from another table and the update specific is set to No action. The No action is the default option.
If this is your case and No action is set on the update operation you can change the foreign-key definition to Cascade.
Right click your foreign key and select Modify. In the Foreign key relationships dialog under the INSERT and UPDATE specifics set the UPDATE rule on Cascade:
You can also set the rule using T-SQL:
ALTER TABLE YourTable
DROP Constraint Your_FK
GO
ALTER TABLE YourTable
ADD CONSTRAINT [New_FK_Constraint]
FOREIGN KEY (YourColumn) REFERENCES ReferencedTable(YourColumn)
ON DELETE CASCADE ON UPDATE CASCADE
GO
Hope this helps
If you don't want to change your table structure, you can run the following query:
ALTER TABLE [UserStore]
NOCHECK CONSTRAINT FK_UserStore_User_UserId
ALTER TABLE [UserIdentity]
NOCHECK CONSTRAINT FK_UserIdentity_User_UserId
BEGIN TRAN
UPDATE [user]
SET Id = 10
WHERE Id = 9
UPDATE [dbo].[UserStore]
SET UserId = 10
WHERE UserId = 9
UPDATE [dbo].UserIdentity
SET UserId = 10
WHERE UserId = 9
COMMIT TRAN
ALTER TABLE [UserStore]
CHECK CONSTRAINT FK_UserStore_User_UserId
ALTER TABLE UserIdentity
CHECK CONSTRAINT FK_UserIdentity_User_UserId
If column dbo.patient_address.id_no
allows NULL
s then you could use this solution:
SET XACT_ABORT ON;
BEGIN TRANSACTION;
-- I assmume that [id] is the primary key of patient_address table (single column key)
-- replace the name of [id] column with the name of PK column from patient_address table
-- replace INT data type with the proper type
DECLARE @RowsForUpdate TABLE([id] INT PRIMARY KEY);
UPDATE patient_address
SET id_no = NULL
OUTPUT deleted.[id] INTO @RowsForUpdate ([id])
WHERE id_no='8008255601088'
UPDATE patient
SET id_no='7008255601088'
WHERE id_no='8008255601088'
UPDATE patient_address
SET id_no='7008255601088'
WHERE [id] IN (SELECT u.[id] FROM @RowsForUpdate u)
COMMIT;
