<h1 class="topictitle1">Remove referential constraints</h1>
<div><p>You can remove referential constraints in various ways. The full
impact of the removal depends on the constraint you are removing and the certain
conditions that surround the constraint.</p>
<div class="section"> <p>To remove a referential constraint, follow these steps:</p>
</div>
<ol><li class="stepexpand"><span>Run the Remove Physical File Constraint (RMVPFCST) command.</span></li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>Specify the constraint or constraints you want to remove using
the CST and TYPE parameters.</span> <ul><li>Use the CST parameter to specify all constraints or a specific constraint
name.</li>
<li>Use the TYPE parameter to specify a particular type of constraint.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ol>
<div class="section"> <p>You can also remove a referential constraint using iSeries™ Navigator. </p>
<p>When
you remove a referential constraint, the system removes the associated foreign
keys and access paths from the file. The system does not remove the foreign
key access path if any logical file or other constraint on the system uses
it.</p>
<p>If you remove a referential, primary key, or unique constraint,
and the associated access path is shared by a logical file, the ownership
of the shared path transfers to the logical file.</p>
