Yes in deed.
I am trying to make sure that the keys are aligned, but it doesnt update or
it simply shows NULL in Fact table, meaning its secondary keys.
"-- Step 1: Drop existing foreign key constraint for Entity
ALTER TABLE system."IMETA_ZTRB_MP$F_ZTBR_TA_BW" DROP CONSTRAINT IF EXISTS
fk_entity;
-- Step 2: Drop and recreate secondary key for Entity, setting it to null
by default
ALTER TABLE system."IMETA_ZTRB_MP$F_ZTBR_TA_BW"
DROP COLUMN IF EXISTS "Entity_Secondary_Key",
ADD COLUMN "Entity_Secondary_Key" INTEGER;
-- Step 3: Update secondary key for Entity based on primary key from the
dimension table
UPDATE system."IMETA_ZTRB_MP$F_ZTBR_TA_BW" AS fact
SET "Entity_Secondary_Key" = dim2."Entity_ID"
FROM dim."IMETA_Entity_Mapping" AS dim2
WHERE fact."Entity_Secondary_Key" = dim2."Entity_ID";
-- Step 4: Re-add foreign key constraint for Entity
ALTER TABLE system."IMETA_ZTRB_MP$F_ZTBR_TA_BW"
ADD CONSTRAINT fk_entity FOREIGN KEY ("Entity_Secondary_Key") REFERENCES
dim."IMETA_Entity_Mapping"("Entity_ID");

Thank you!
