- The existing primary key constraint is dropped from a table.

- The attempt to add the new primary key constraint fails with the following error because of the existence of duplicates in the column (or columns) on which the key is being added:
- An attempt is made to run the sp_execute function against that table to delete a row or rows from the table.
