There are no primary or candidate keys in the referenced table that match the referencing column list in the foreign key

Question

In SQL Server , I got this error ->

\"There are no primary or candidate keys in the referenced table \'BookTitle\' that match the referencing colum

Answer 1

Another thing is - if your keys are very complicated sometimes you need to replace the places of the fields and it helps :

if this dosent work:

foreign key (ISBN, Title) references BookTitle (ISBN, Title)

Then this might work (not for this specific example but in general) :

foreign key (Title,ISBN) references BookTitle (Title,ISBN)
