Question: How Many Foreign Key Can You Have on A Single Table?
I was asked above question in my recent SQLPASS presentations. I quickly answered that it is 253. However, after I returned home when I searched a bit more, I realized that my answer is not complete, hence this blog post.
Freelancing gives me a lot of opportunity to see issues which I have not seen earlier. Learning never stops for me and I love sharing what I learn every day. Let us learn about how to fix the error Property Size is Not Available for Database.

I have attended tons of sessions at the local SQL Server user group meets and it amazes me every time to what I didn’t know about the tools that I use often. Every time when I attend sessions from my friend Balmukund or others from the community – they show a trick or two using SQL Server Management Studio that makes me rethink how I would be working the very next day using these methods. I think it is part of learning and that is never going to stop. Let us see about tips about Windows 10.
