I have a process that adds some data to a database. Some of the columns are keys. I need to be able to delete the row once the process runs (so I can run it again). However Im getting the following error:

Msg 547, Level 16, State 0, Line 1 The DELETE statement conflicted
with the REFERENCE constraint “FK_InviteConfiguration_Invite”. The
conflict occurred in database “Unilever”, table
“dbo.InviteConfiguration”, column ‘InviteID’. The statement has been

    You can do this, but its probably better just to update or delete the rows in the referencing table

    ALTER TABLE InviteConfiguration NOCHECK CONSTRAINT ALL

    or with a slightly smaller hammer

     ALTER TABLE InviteConfiguration NOCHECK CONSTRAINT FK_InviteConfiguration_Invite
