I am attempting to replace all records for a give day in a certain table. The table has a composite primary key comprised of 7 fields. One such field is date.
I have deleted all records which have a date value of 2/8/2010. When I try to then insert records into the table for 2/8/2010, I get a primary key violation. The records I am attempting to insert are only for 2/8/2010.
Since date is a component of the PK, shouldn't there be no way to violate the constraint as long as the date I'm inserting is not already in the table?
Thanks in advance.
