Right-click the constraint and then click Delete. 3. In the Delete Object dialog box, click OK. Query: USE ; GO ALTER TABLE DROP CONSTRAINT ; GO

In SQL, you can use the ALTER TABLE statement to drop a foreign key constraint from a table. The basic syntax is as follows: ALTER TABLE table_name DROP FOREIGN KEY constraint_name; Please note that if you drop a foreign key constraint from a table, any data that is dependent on that constraint will also be deleted. So, you need to be careful when using this statement and make sure you have a backup of your data.
