Hello,

I am working on trying to populate a SQL table with data from a free table. I created a program using Visual FoxPro 9.0 to do this, but
I am having a problem with a violation of primary key contraint.

The SQL table ArCustStkXref has 3 fields

Customer (c,7) PK
CustStockCode (c,30) PK
StockCode (c,30)

Keys: ArCustStkXrefKey

Indexes:
ArCustStkXrefIdxStk (Unique, Non-Clustered)
ArCustStkXrefKey (Clustered)

The purpose of this table is to provide a cross-reference between our part numbers and that of our customers.
During normal input from the application that handles this data the customer field can be dupplicated across many records, I can manually modify records
and input dupplicate customer numbers, but I am not being able to do this with FoxPro. I get the following error:

Violation of PRIMARY KEY contraint 'ArCustStkXrefKey'. Cannot insert dupplicate key in object 'dbo.ArCustStkXref'

The free table has 2 fields ssku (c,10) and stockcode (c,20)

I will greatly appreciate any feedback you can provide.

Mike.

Hi

The very definition of Primary Key is that it has to be unique. So you cannot duplicate the value in a primary key.

Make the field as regularindex type.
