>>Hi,

>>I am going through a testing phase of converting a VFP database to SQL Server database. And I expect to have to truncate SQL tables maybe several times as I fix problems. But what happens is on the first truncate (even when ALL tables of SQL Server have no records) I get message that "truncate cannot be executed because table has FOREIGN KEY constraints". I understand that it is logical not to allow breaking of a foreign key constraint but the tables have no records/rows. Therefore at this point there should not be (at least IMHO) a reason not to allow truncate. What am I missing? TIA.

Thank you. I will try this approach.
