You probably want something like this: create table table1 ( id char(6) not null, roll_number varchar(20) not null, primary key (id, roll_number) ); create table table2 ( id char(6) not null, roll_number varchar(20) not null, account_id varchar(20) not null default '-', primary key (id, roll_number, account_id), ); alter table table2 add constraint fk_key foreign key (id, roll_number) references table1 (id, roll_number) on delete restrict on update restrict; It would to know what you want to eventually achieve.
