    The only idea I have is that the FK was created WITH NOCHECK and therefore that the data has never been consistent.

  • Dear Sir thanks for reply.

    one of the table referencing to primary key table has FK WITH NOCHECK. However another table which has FK reference to primary key table, have FK with CHECK.

    For example, Table_A has id as primary key. Table_b has id as FK key with WITH NOCHECK referencing to Table_A. But Table_C has FK with WITH CHECK referencing to Table_A.

    Can there be possible loss of 5-7 records from Table_A. However same record id exists in Table_B and Table_C with same id. Previously, Table_A also has these 5-7 IDs. What could be the possible reason for loss of these id from Table_A even if that id exist in FK table Table_C.

    Can you provide possible reasons and best solution?
