Solution

The error message you're receiving is indicating that the name you're trying to use for a constraint is already being used by an existing constraint in your database.

To resolve this issue, you have two options:

  1. Use a different, unique name for your constraint. Constraint names must be unique within a schema, not just within a table. So, you need to ensure that the name you're using isn't already being used elsewhere in your schema.

  2. If you're sure that the existing constraint with the same name is not needed, you can drop the existing constraint before creating your new one. However, be very careful with this approach, as dropping a constraint will remove it and could potentially impact other parts of your database.

Here's how you can do it:

  1. Rename the constraint: You can simply change the name of your constraint to something unique. For example, you can change FK_FIELD_CONDITION_FIELD_ID to FK_FIELD_CONDITION_FIELD_ID_1 and CK_CONDITION_TYPE to CK_CONDITION_TYPE_1.

  2. Drop the existing constraint: If you want to drop the existing constraint, you can do so with the following command:

    ALTER TABLE table_name DROP CONSTRAINT constraint_name;
    

    Replace table_name with the name of the table where the constraint is currently applied, and constraint_name with the name of the constraint you want to drop. After running this command, you should be able to create your new constraint with the original name.
