Then you have to delete the referenced rows in the other table first...
Or you can drop/disable the FK constraint

Just a wonder - does using the TRUNCATE TABLE command override the foreign key constraints? And do you mean that the primary key of the table you're deleting is a foreign key of other tables, or that other table's primary keys are forign keys in this table? Because if it's the second case, I can't see why that constraint would affect you...
