I have created three tables
create table employee1 (eid int, ename varchar(25),email varchar(15));
create table accounts1 (eid int, accno int,atype varchar(2),bal int);
create table trans1(cid int, accno int, atype varchar(2), accounts int, bal int);
using alter command I have added primary key and foreign keys
alter table employee1 add primary key(eid);
alter table accounts1 add foreign key(eid) references employee1(eid);
alter table accounts1 add primary key(accno,atype);
alter table trans1 add foreign key(accno,atype) references accounts1(accno,atype);
Now my problem is I am trying to delete all the primary key and foreign keys of all the tables its giving me errors.
Initially I tried deleteing the primary key. then on refering to the below links showed me that foreign key must be deleted first and I tried doing that but still i am getting the error.

Note: I have no auto increment or any such thing in any of my tables.
I checked the following links but none was of any help.
