how do you update rows and not violate a PK on the table?
i have the following SQL:
UPDATE Products_ProductComponents
SET Products_ProductComponents
FROM Products_ProductComponents
INNER JOIN products_list_ORIG ON products_list_ORIG.Product
WHERE products_list_ORIG.derived
the updated sets values in the PM that already exist and i get this error:
Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'PK_Products_ProductCompon
how do i get around this?
i am thi nking i can update only records that will not violate the PK
or remove the PK, then delete dups then add PK back.
ideas?

This wouldn't work, you can not add a key if it would violate the key you are adding.
