SQL Server 2008: The columns in table do not match an existing primary key or unique constraint

Question

I need to make some changes to a SQL Server 2008 database.

This requires the creation of a new table, and inserting a foreign key in the new table that references t

Answer 1

I've had this situation that led me to this topic. Same error but another cause. Maybe it will help someone.

Table1
ColA (PK)
ColB (PK)
ColC


Table2
ID (PK)
ColA
COLB

When trying to create foreign key in Table2 I've choose values from combobox in reverse order

Table1.ColB = Table2.ColB
Table1.ColA = Table2.ColA

This was throwing me an error like in topic name. Creating FK keeping order of columns in Primary key table as they are, made error disappear.

Stupid, but.. :)
