DB Design :: More Than One Table Primary Key Adding In Single Foreign Key Column
Nov 6, 2015I have come up with one scenarios where I have three table like Product, Services and Subscription. I have to create one table say Bundle where I can have some of the product id , service id and Subscription id , i.e. a bundle may contains sum prduct , services and subscription . How I can design these relations ?

Apr 24, 2007OK - I have a two tables in a database. Table one contains an ID, 'oneID', field as the primary key. It is auto-incremented. Table two has ID field, 'twoID', as the primary key. This field also auto-increments. Table two also has 'oneID' as the foreign key.
Now, my question is, how do I get the foreign key in table two to auto-increment in conjuction with table one's primary key? They are after all the same data. Do I have to manually code to get table one data and save it to table two data?
thanks
Clustered Primary Key And Foreign Key: T-SQL
Jun 10, 2005I am having a little trouble getting this to work right, but have come a ways since I started this.......other tables created first and with no problems..... then these two with the last table being the problemI need to set one foreign key in the second table referencing the first table.But, the primary key is clustered with the two foreign keys and I get the error....There are no primary or candidate keys in the referenced table 'courseScores' that match the referencing column list in the foreign key 'FK_course'.CREATE TABLE dbo.courseScores ( courseId varchar(20) NOT NULL CONSTRAINT FK_courseId_courseStructure2 FOREIGN KEY (courseId) REFERENCES courseStructure (courseId),
studentId varchar(20) NOT NULL CONSTRAINT FK_studentId_students2 FOREIGN KEY (studentId) REFERENCES students (studentId),
CONSTRAINT PK_courseScore PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED (courseId, studentId)
)CREATE TABLE dbo.objScores ( tmp int IDENTITY(1,1) PRIMARY KEY, objective varchar(50) NOT NULL, courseId varchar(20) NOT NULL CONSTRAINT FK_course FOREIGN KEY (courseId) REFERENCES courseScores (courseId) )
Once I get it working, then the tmp will be gone and then set 3 foreign keys as the clustered primary, fyi.Not sure how to reference half a primary key?Any help is greatly appreciated.....Thanks all,Zath
Foreign Key Value Has No Matching Primary Key
Sep 15, 2014I'm currently using Oracle and receiving this error:
SQL Error: ORA-02291: integrity constraint (43437001.ATHLETE_FK1) violated - parent key not found
02291. 00000 - "integrity constraint (%s.%s) violated - parent key not found"
*Cause: A foreign key value has no matching primary key value.
*Action: Delete the foreign key or add a matching primary key.
When inserting this value:
INSERT INTO ATHLETE VALUES ('A001','TOM','HANKS','03-FEB-90','USA','C001');
With Tables:
CREATE TABLE ATHLETE(
ATHLETEID CHAR(4),
ATHLETEFIRSTNAME VARCHAR2(20),
ATHLETELASTNAME VARCHAR(20),
ATHLETEDOB DATE,
REPCOUNTRY VARCHAR2(12),
[Code] ......
I think the error is to do with the Athletes table (primary/foreign key)
How would I fix this in order to insert values without error?

In table2 I have ssn, firstname, lastname, col1. In table2 I want to create a foreign key which references table1 primary key?
table1 and table2 has the primary, foreign key relationships. Still table2 need primary key. In table2 Can I make the ssn+Firstname+Lastname as primary key? or one column id as auto increment?

Getting Information Dependant Upon Primary && Foreign Key
Aug 11, 2006Hi All,
It seems I have been requested to carry out a complex query and the best way I think I can do this is with the use of a stored procedure. The problem is that I am not quite sure whether my SP is stated correctly and also how I would go about stating the SP in my VB.net code!
I would be ever so grateful if somebody could look over my SP code and possibly recommend a way of stating my code. My ability is limited so I would appreciate it if examples could be used with possible relations to my problem.
The Problem?
Tables:
1.tblRisk: Ref(pk), subject, status(fk), staff(fk), Dept(fk)
2.tblDept: Ref(pk), Department
The SP should state that Department should appear as the end result of the query when the page is loaded. So when a row is selected in tblRisk, dependant upon what the Dept is in that table, it then populates the department in which it is associated with from tblDept. I have left the SP below.
Many Thanks,
Kunal
CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.ShowMe @yourInputValue INTAS SELECT tblDept.Department FROM tblDept JOIN tblRisk ON tblDept.Ref = tblRisk.Dept WHERE tblDept.Ref = @yourInputValue RETURN 0GO

eno int,
deptno char(2),
ename varchar(5),
constraint pk_eno_deptno primary Key(eno,deptno)
)
and I tried to establish a foreign key based on the above defined table. It's giving error,

)
go
Error:-
*****
There are no primary or candidate keys in the referenced table 'z' that match the referencing column list in the foreign key 'FK__z_dup__eno__18CE1BA6'.Could not create constraint. See previous errors.
Even I tried to create a foreign key like the following,
create table z_dup
(
eno int FOREIGN KEY REFERENCES z(eno,deptno),
deptno char(2)
)
go
Error:-
********
More than one key specified in column level FOREIGN KEY constraint, table 'z_dup'.
Can anyone please help me to create a foreign key relation with the base table.

Primary Key And Foreign Key Relation..URGENT!!!

I have two tables.
CREATE TABLE Service(

)
CREATE TABLE New(
SERVId varchar (10) NOT NULL,

DELETE statement conflicted with COLUMN REFERENCE constraint 'FK__Newdev__SERVId__4939E6D2'. The conflict occurred in database 'test', table 'New', column 'SERVId'
Command has been aborted.
The same problem occurs even if the second table i.e. new is declared as follows, i.e created with only one primary key:
CREATE TABLE New(

NDId varchar (10) NOT NULL,
NDName varchar (30) NOT NULL,
NDDesc text NULL,

what might be the problem? But the same relation works on MS Access.
Is there anyother way of declaring this kind of relationship i.e. primary and foreign key?Can anyone pl. help me in solving this problem of foreign key relation.

Can Only Use Primary Key And Not Foreign Key While Joining Tables?
Oct 9, 2015I was trying a joining example provided in my book in which customer is a table and person is another table. The query provided in the book is this... USE AdventureWorks2012;
GO
SELECT c.CustomerID, c.PersonID, p.BusinessEntityID, p.LastName
FROM Sales.Customer AS c
INNER JOIN Person.Person AS p ON c.PersonID = p.BusinessEntityID;
This is the query that I did....
SELECT
c.CustomerID,p.FirstName,p.MiddleName,p.LastName
FROM
Sales.Customer AS c INNER JOIN Person.Person AS p
ON
c.CustomerID=p.BusinessEntityID
ORDER BY
p.BusinessEntityID;
Keys :-
Person Table
[PK_Person_BusinessEntityID]
[FK_Person_BusinessEntity_BusinessEntityID]
Customer Table
[PK_Customer_CustomerID]
[FK_Customer_Person_PersonID]
However,both of them gives a very different result set.But my question is why do we need to use the Customer.PersonID instead of Customer.CustomerID. Is it really important to use one primary key and one foreign,is there any specific reason why the book showed c.personId=p.BusinessEntityId.??

Primary/Foreign/Identity Keys && Encryption
Nov 2, 2006Hi all!
I'm just getting my feet wet with how encryption works in SQL 2005. With regards to the encryption of primary / foreign keys, I'm not entirely clear on the best approach. Below are three examples of typical table structures I currently have:
== Customers table ==
CustomerID (PK, int, Identity)
CustomerName (varchar)
== Orders table ==
OrderID (PK, int, Identity)
CustomerID (int, foreign key)
CreditCardNumber (varchar)
== OrderDetails table (1 to Many) ==
OrderID (PK/FK, int)
ItemNumber (PK, int)
ItemDescription (varchar)
The Customers and Orders tables use identity values as their primary keys. From what I can tell, CustomerID in the Customers table cannot be encrypted and OrderID in the Orders table cannot be encrypted because they are identity values. In these cases, would it be safer (in terms of security) to create a separate, meaningless identity key column in the Customers table and then remove the identity attribute from CustomerID so I can encrypt CustomerID?
Similarily in the OrderDetails table, OrderID and ItemNumber form a composite key. These values are important in that I don't want them to be tampered with. Am I better off creating a separate identity key column which becomes the table's primary key ... then encrypt both the OrderID and ItemNumber columns in this table?
Any ideas are appreciated.
Thank you,
Ben
Creating Relational Databases(Primary/Foreign Key?)
Jul 16, 2007Hey everyone,
I have just started getting into to SQL and am completely brand new to the whole concepts of relational databases. Someone on this forum pointed to the MSDN videos on LEARNVISUALSTUDIO.NET which have been very helpful. Unfortunately while learning about relational databases and looking at the program that I want to design and make using them, I have run into a pretty big wall, concerning the primary key and foreign key.
For my program, I am trying to save an object, and lets say the base class is SLIDE. Now SLIDE will store basically most of the information that I will ever want to store, such as timeCreated and mainText and slideID(primarykey). But there are other classes that derive from slide that will store just a bit more information than that because of what they are. Lets say there is a class derived from SLIDE called PERSON that stores its parentNode, which is to say something that this slide specifically belongs to and has a reference to. Now the tricky part is that in this program, every single slide can have a reference to another slide, that you would see displayed and that you could just click on and view if you wanted to.
Now relating what I just told about the classes in my program to a relation database standpoint is what confuses me. If I make a table SLIDE, it would hold incomplete data about the PERSON object, because that object has more data than SLIDE has. The answer to this was to make another table called PERSON, which would have more columns. But now we arrive at the big problem: The primary key called maybe SLIDEID would be different in this new PERSON table than in the other table called SLIDE (or any other derived class). Therefore the link between these tables is messed up. In my object orientated mind I am thinking of static class variables that would still stay constant for derived classes, so that when I make a PERSON slide it will increment off of the primary key of the SLIDE table. In other words, is there some sort of super TABLE that you can derive from, like an abstract class, where the primary keys of other tables can build off of because they will be used as the same type of reference to eachother.
If none of this made sense to the reader, I am greatly sorry. I do not really know what else I can say to convey to you the problem I have. Maybe its because I am so used to object orientated languages that this is making it so difficult to explain. If however you do understand what I am talking about, please think about it and help me find a solution to this problem. I am not an experienced programmer, but I do very much enjoy it and I am very excited about starting to make this program, and I have learned that before I start coding it is very important to have a very firm design in mind first.
Thank your for reading,
Jeremy
Updating Tables In Sequence With Primary Key And Foreign Key Relations
Feb 7, 2007Hi all,
In my project i will have the data in a collection of objects, I need to update series of tables with foreign key relations
Right now my code looks like this
foreach(object obj in Objects){
int accountId=Account.Insert(obj.accountOpenDate,obj.accountName);//this will update the accounts table and returns account id which is a Identity column in Acccounts table
int DebtId=Debt.Insert(accountd,obj.debtamount,obj.debtbalance); this will update the Debts table and returns DebtId
///series of tables like above but all the relevant data comes from obj and in the Insert Methods i am using stored procedures to Insert the data into table
}
The no of objects varies from 1000 to 1 milliion,, with this approach its taking more time to update all the data. Please let me know if any alternative procedure to handle this kind of scenario.
Thanks

Using GUID Fields As Primary Keys W/ Foreign Key Constraints
Nov 17, 2005Ok, so I've broken down and decided to write myself an invoicing
program. I'd like to use GUID fields as the Primary Keys in my
table. Now, I basicly bill for two seperate items:
Deliverables and Services.
So, my Layout's gonna look something like
Create Table Invoice(
ID UniqueIdentifier Primary Key,
-- Other Data
);
Create Deliverable(
ID uniqueidentifier Primary Key,
ParentInvoice uniqueidentifier,
-- Other data);
--...
Im sure there are probems with that as it's written feel free to edify me as to what they are.
my questions are such:
1) Does a uniqueidentifier field automagically get a value?
2) If not how do I generate one in TSQL?
3) If so, what do I use to store my Foreign Keys.
4) How do I declare my Foreign key constraints?
