How can I troubleshoot the issue of “the inserted statement conflict with the foreign keys constraint”?
There is a scenario where I have a database in which I want to insert a new record into a specific table, however, while attempting this I encountered a scenario where an error message occurred which was showing “the inserted statement conflicted with the foreign key constraint”. Why am I getting this particular issue and how can I troubleshoot this?
In your particular database if you are getting the issue of “the inserted statement conflicted with the foreign key constraint” then it could be due to the foreign key constraint when enforcing the referential integrity and the value being inserted into the foreign key column doesn’t have a particular or corresponding entry in the primary key column of the reference table.
To resolve this issue, check the values that are you trying to insert. Check that the values should match with the existing values in the primary key of the referenced table. If the values do not match the existing value, then you can either insert the corresponding value in the reference table first or you can update the foreign key value to an existing one. This would ensure that the relationship between the table should be maintained, which will lead you to get rid of foreign key constraint issues.
