IBM DB2 Error Message
-530 the insert or update value of foreign key constraint name is invalid
Reason for the Error
An UPDATE or INSERT operation attempted to place a value in a foreign key of the object table; however, this value was not equal to some value of the primary key of the parent table.When a row is inserted into a dependent table, the insert value of a foreign key must be equal to the value of the primary key of some row of the parent table in the associated relationship.When the value of the foreign key is updated, the update value of a foreign key must be equal to the value of the primary key of some row of the parent table of the associated relationship.
Solution
Ensure that INSERT row for DB2 PARENT table is completed before INSERT row in CHILD table.
