foreign key - relationship

I have two tables and I'm trying to create a one to many relationship (master table can have many records in the details table)

I created a column in my details table with with ID of the primary key in the master table.

The primary key ID isn't inserted as a foreign key when I insert a record. I specifed the relationship in EM.

Not sure why the primary key ID isn't inserted as a foreign key into my details table?

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
-Dman100-Explain how you are doing it?

ohhh you do realise you need to insert the value into the table -- it does not do it automatically|||Okay, my mistake, I thought it would be automatic.

Can I do this within my sql statement, using a join or insert or whatever?? to pass the primary key value from the master table into the details table as a foreign key?

Thanks for your help! I appreciate it.

foreign key

Hi

is it a good practice to create FK on each & every column in a table whose values are taken from master table.

should I create or not.

If I create will that be heavy i.e what about memory consumption ?

pls reply

Thanks

Shubhangi1. You can foreign keys.

or

2. You can check through code. By using Inner join table name
on parenttabel.field=childtable.field

ro

3.Before inserting a record in child table, check whether it exists in the parent table through code by using if exists or if (select count(*) from tablename where
...)=0

or

if exists(select 1 from tablename where ...)

Foreign Key

Hi,

Is sql server performance affected with 7 to 8 FK on a single master table.

Thanks
