Question

I have Assignment due in which i’m stuck on a question.

Add a “Sales Detail” table to your database. This table is related to the Orders and Products tables. It shows the product and quantity ordered at least (add other fields if you wish but explain why you added them on your paper).

There is no description of this table on the diagram provided. Use your best database design skills here!

Create Table SalesDetail
(
   SaleDetailID int,
   ProductID char(5),
   ManufactureID char(3) not null,
   OrderNo int,
   qtyOrdered int
   PRIMARY 
)

Alter Table SalesDetail
Add FOREIGN KEY (ProductID)
REFERENCES Products(ProductID)

My Error is I can not get it to link SalesDetail table to Products table.

Msg 1776, Level 16, State 0, Line 1
There are no primary or candidate keys in the referenced table 'Products' that match the referencing column list in the foreign key 'FK__SalesDeta__Produ__5EBF139D'.

Msg 1750, Level 16, State 0, Line 1
Could not create constraint. See previous errors.

CreditLimt money default(20000.00),
PRIMARY KEY(CustomerNo)
)

Create Table Salesreps

–Add Foreign Keys to all tables who needs them

Alter Table Customers
Add constraint fk_customerrep
FOREIGN KEY (CustomerRep) 
REFERENCES Salesreps(EmployeeNo)

Alter Table Salesreps
Add constraint fk_salesrepoffice
FOREIGN KEY (SalesRepOffice) 
REFERENCES Offices(Office),
constraint fk_manager
FOREIGN KEY (Manager)
REFERENCES Salesreps(EmployeeNo)

Alter Table Offices
Add constraint fk_officesmanger
FOREIGN KEY (Manager)
REFERENCES Salesreps(EmployeeNo)

Alter Table Orders
Add constraint fk_customerno
FOREIGN KEY (CustomerNo)
REFERENCES Customers(CustomerNo),
constraint fk_salesrep
FOREIGN KEY (SalesRep)
REFERENCES Salesreps(EmployeeNo)

Answer 1

The table Products has a composite key (ManufactureID, ProductID), so you cannot uniquely identify a product by just the ProductId. Therefore you have to create a composite foreign key that references to both ManufactureId and ProductID:

Alter Table SalesDetail
Add FOREIGN KEY (ManufactureId, ProductID)
REFERENCES Products(ManufactureID, ProductID)
