Note

If a table is published using replication, check constraints are automatically disabled for

operations performed by replication agents. When a replication agent performs an insert,

update, or delete at a Subscriber, the constraint is not checked; if a user performs an

insert, update, or delete, the constraint is checked. The constraint is disabled for the

replication agent because the constraint was already checked at the Publisher when the

data was originally inserted, updated, or deleted. For more information, see.
