In a given SQL Server 2008 table I have a disabled foreign key constraint that should be enabled. I cannot enable this constraint because there are rows in this table that conflict with this foreign key. These rows are invalid.
Is there a simple trick that removes data that is conflicting with this constraint?
you have to manually remove all the row that doesn’t respect the constrain: probably you will need a T-SQL statement to get all the row you need to remove(perhaps using an outer join) then remove them
