And you want to copy dependent data to what?
Say a row in your table1 has a child in another table, you copy the row into table2 and table1 row child into what?

Hi,

I am using a CISCO communication software in that it required 2 tables one publisher and other subscriber. When we run this, subscriber takes the information from publisher and my phone systems works. But if the data is not same in these two tables then it wont. Last week what happen my hard disk got crashed in which my publisher database was there. Now when i restored it from my backup the information in 2 tables are different. Now Subscriber is having latest information. In order to run my system i need to transfer the data from subscriber to publisher table, but my publisher table is not allowing me to delete, update and insert into it.

My both the table is having similar dependencies and constraints. If by any mean we can copy the informaiton from one table to other, it will be ok.

Thanks

This looks like the crux of the problem:

What error message do you get when you try to insert, update or delete data?

It might be an application error, but this is another case of you don't show us the real message, so you're going to get lots of incorrect answers.
