  • Key Concepts: 
    A foreign key relationship is a type of relationship between two tables in SAP ByDesign Studio. It is used to ensure data integrity by linking two tables together. The foreign key is the column in one table that references the primary key of another table. This ensures that the data in the two tables is consistent and up-to-date.
    
    How to use it: 
    In SAP ByDesign Studio, you can create a foreign key relationship between two tables by selecting the foreign key column in one table and then selecting the primary key column in the other table. This will create a link between the two tables, ensuring that any changes made to one table will be reflected in the other.
    
    Tips & Tricks: 
    When creating a foreign key relationship, make sure that the data types of both columns are compatible. If they are not, you will not be able to create the relationship. Additionally, it is important to ensure that the data in both columns is consistent and up-to-date.
