In SQL, you can use the
ALTER TABLEstatement to drop a foreign key constraint from a table. The basic syntax is as follows:Please note that if you drop a foreign key constraint from a table, any data that is dependent on that constraint will also be deleted. So, you need to be careful when using this statement and make sure you have a backup of your data.

2. Using Management Explorer, just select the column and remove the constraint.
