I create 2 tables and another 1 with foreign keys to the other two.
I realized I want to make some changes to table no 3.
I try to update a field but I get an error “Saving changes is not permitted. The changes you have made require the following table to be dropped and re-created.”
I delete those 2 relationships but when I look at dependencies I see my table still depends on those 2 and I still cannot make any change to it.
What can I do?
You can also enable saving changes that require dropping of tables by going to “tools->options->designers->Table and database designers” and unchecking “Prevent saving changes that require table re-creation”
Be careful with this though, sometimes it’ll drop a table without being able to recreate it, which makes you lose all data that was in the table.
