Hi,

Does anyone know if there's a way of renaming a foreign key?
Or even name the foreign key on key creation?

Thanks

Don't worry, think I've just worked it out.

Thanks anyway

Thanks Uri.

Yes for those interested I dropped the table and recreated it using:

CREATE TABLE TEST (
COL1 TEXT,
COL2 INT CONSTRAINT FK_TEST_A FOREIGN KEY REFERENCES Table_A,
COL3 VARCHAR(50)
)

Of course dropping the foreign key is sufficient but I was after a way
of defining the foreign key name during table creation.

Thanks

Hi
You will have to drop a FOREIGN KEY CONSTRAINT and then create a new one
