Hi,
>The DELETE statement conflicted with the REFERENCE constraint "". The conflict occurred in database " ", table "", column "";
This error means that the data you want to delete is referenced by another table (foreign key). Creating foreign key constraints with the on delete cascade should be a solution.
>when I go back and look at the key its reverted back to its original state without the cascade delete.
Do you mean that you modified fk constraint on the table to add the on delete cascade, but this operation seems to be rolled back?
Please apply the latest cumulative update to the SQL Server instance to avoid any possible issue.
