    Hi all

    I want to relate a particular Primary key of dimension table twice as a foreign key, What is best possible way.

    e.g Date dimension has Datekey and my Fact tbl has two fields RECORD_DTEKEY , PAY_DTEKEY

    I could create one foreign key but not able to relate aging same key to another field in a fact table

    I hope you guys understood my problem.

    Thanks in advance

    Why aren't you able to do this? Is the alter table for the second foreign key failing? (it shouldn't, same syntax will work for both) If so, with what error?
