Generic constraint error
-
This occurred when trying to add a primary key to an existing table in SQL Server 2008R2. It was the only error.
-
While not the same, I posted a question about errors like this on Stack Overflow; related specifically to SSMS 2005 and Stored Procs:

Answer: I'm screwed.
Either way, I see these a lot when you have stored procedures calling other stored procedures and the error messages just get gobbled up. Makes maintaining and fixing problems a nightmare.

Hmm. Well, there are no stored procedures involved here. Or even error-handling. It's just an alter table statement.
ALTER TABLE Loans ADD CONSTRAINT PK_Loans PRIMARY KEY (CUST_NBR, COL_TYP_CD, LOAN_NBR)Edit: Also, it actually created the key. I probably should have checked that first, but I assumed that if it failed with an error it wouldn't have created the key. But it appears to be there and correct. So, that's weird.
-
Are there any DDL triggers? That could be the cause of the error message.
-
The previous error was served 6 days ago and dealt with a typo of a table name.
So see it!
-
There aren't any triggers anywhere in the database.
