Updates needing cascade

  • I have a column (which happens to be a Primary Key). It has FK relationships in various other tables.

    I need to update that PK column but don't know how to do so. I don't remember ever doing this in the past, but I have need to do so now.

    I read that you can set up the constraint for ON UPDATE CASCADE, but that isn't in place.

  • You'll either need to modify the FK constraints so they cascade, or you'll need to disable them during the update and update each table individually and then re-enable them.

  • Thank you. That is what I was thinking.
