Could I change a primary key column that has a relationship in another table to be auto increment.
this is my code
alter table sales_agreement modify column client_id int(11) auto_increment ;
but I get error:-
Cannot change column 'Client_id': used in a foreign key constraint 'Relationship5' of table ' order_sheet'
Edit Sales_Agreement Table
CREATE TABLE Sales_Agreement
(
Client_id Int NOT NULL,
Client Varchar(200) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (Client_id)
) ;
Table order_sheet
CREATE TABLE Sales.Order_Sheet
(
Client_id Int NOT NULL
)
;
ALTER TABLE Sales.Order_Sheet ADD PRIMARY KEY (Client_id)
;
ALTER TABLE Order_Sheet ADD CONSTRAINT Relationship5 FOREIGN KEY (Client_id) REFERENCES Sales_Agreement (Client_id)
;
Try to drop foreign key first,
ALTER TABLE
'Order_Sheet'
DROP FOREIGN KEY'Relationship5'
;
and then alter table by modifying the primary key.
