How do I drop a foreign key in SQL Server?
Try
alter table company drop constraint Company_CountryID_FK
alter table company drop column CountryID
This will work:
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[company] DROP CONSTRAINT [Company_CountryID_FK]
I think this will helpful to you...
DECLARE @ConstraintName nvarchar(200)
SELECT
@ConstraintName = KCU.CONSTRAINT_NAME
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.REFERENTIAL_CONSTRAINTS AS RC
INNER JOIN INFORMATION_SCHEMA.KEY_COLUMN_USAGE AS KCU
ON KCU.CONSTRAINT_CATALOG = RC.CONSTRAINT_CATALOG
AND KCU.CONSTRAINT_SCHEMA = RC.CONSTRAINT_SCHEMA
AND KCU.CONSTRAINT_NAME = RC.CONSTRAINT_NAME
WHERE
KCU.TABLE_NAME = 'TABLE_NAME' AND
KCU.COLUMN_NAME = 'TABLE_COLUMN_NAME'
IF @ConstraintName IS NOT NULL EXEC('alter table TABLE_NAME drop CONSTRAINT ' + @ConstraintName)
It will delete foreign Key Constraint based on specific table and column.
First check of existence of the constraint then drop it.
if exists (select 1 from sys.objects where name = 'Company_CountryID_FK' and type='F')
begin
alter table company drop constraint Company_CountryID_FK
end
