Greetings ...

I have two Tables in SQL Server, EMP and IDs.
EMP has general information like name, gender, phone, address, ... .
and IDs has Numbers of Identification cards and other information about them.
I have made One to One relationship between primary keys of the two tables.

The IDs table allows Insert command, but The EMP table DOES NOT.
and shows this message
"Insert statement conflicts with FK constraint" and states the names of the relation and the foreign keys.

Why is that happened ?? Thank u all

P.S:
1- The Primary keys for the two tables are the same name "ID"
2- The Relationship with "no action" relational integrity.
3- The Primary keys for the both of the tables are int auto increment
4- the EMP table has other 1 to 1 and 1 to M relationships with other tables

The error means that you're trying to insert a value into the table that does not exist in the foreign table.

I added a record in that table but to no avail, note that the two tables are 1 to 1 related

I don't follow what you're saying.

However, the error is pretty clear.

even though, let`s say that if i want to leave IDs without add a record to, like make a record for the employee with no Identification docs at the moment.

Can you post the structure of the tables along with the FK? In form of a create script maybe?
