IBM DB2 Error Message

-539 table table name does not have a primary key

Reason for the Error

The code is used to report that the indicated table, which is nominated as a parent in a FOREIGN KEY clause, cannot be defined as a parent because it does not have a primary key.

Solution

Correct the statement so that the table nominated as a parent in the FOREIGN KEY clause references a table with a primary key, or define a primary key for the table nominated as a parent.
