Dave, You're close with the SQL Server syntax. Try this (all in one command):
ALTER TABLE Customer ADD CONSTRAINT Customer_PK PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED (YourPKFieldname ASC) David Stevenson -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dave Crozier Sent: Thursday, July 20, 2006 11:13 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [NF] Changing Primary Key Column Hi all, Sorry to be a real pain in the A*SE today. I'm really cracking on with my VFP -> SQLExpress -> SQLMobile -> PDA Application project now that I can see/manipulate the data in SQLExpress, however I've come across a small problem that has foxed me for a couple of hours. I need to add a Primary key based on a field in the table called Primary_key to a SQLExpress table and I can't find out the syntax to do it. Note that the table is initially created without any primary key for a good reason and I just want to allocate a primary key after creation. In MySQL I would simply do: ALTER TABLE Customer ADD PRIMARY KEY (Primary_Key) I've tried : 1. Alter table Customer add constraint Primary key (primary_key) and 2. Alter table Customer alter Primary_Key primary key Which the M$ help implies should work - but neither do. Anyone any ideas?
