Cascade Delete From Child To Parent

May 9, 2008

Hi All,
I have the following db design:
a Primary table say
CityTable
CityId Pk
CityName

SectorTable
SectorID
CityID FK to CityTable
SectorName

MuncipalTable
MunicipallD
CityID FK to CityTable
MuncipalName

CantonmentTable
CantonmentlD
CityID FK to CityTable
CantonmentName

The CityId can spread across multiple tables. I would like to delete the record from CityTable if all references of CityId have been removed.
For e.g
CityTable
CityId: 1, 2
CityName: Pune, Mumbai

SectorTable
SectorID: 1a, 2a, 3a
CityID: 1, 2, 1
SectorName: Sec1, Sec2, Sec3

MuncipalTable
MunicipallD: 1c, 2c, 3c
CityID: 2, 1, 1
MuncipalName: abc, def, hij

So If I delete SectorID 1a, the CityTable should not delete its record since SectorID 2a and MuncipalID 2c and 3c are still referencing it. But If delete all the records from SectorTable and MuncipalTable referencing CityID 1 then the record from CityTable should get deleted. How can I achieve this using a SP? Please help.

Thanks & regards
Sunil

T-SQL (SS2K8) :: Deleting From Parent And All Its Child Tables With FK (no Delete On Cascade)

Apr 8, 2015

I have a database with many tables. I would like to Delete all rows with practiceID=55 from all Parents tables and all corresponding rows from its child tables. Tables are linked with foreign key constraints (but there is no ON DELETE CASCADE).

How to write a generalized code for removing rows from both parent and child tables.

Query should pick parent table one by one and delete rows with practiceID=55 and all corresponding rows from its child tables

Delete Child Records Without A Parent

Oct 12, 2013

I am importing data from a paradox table and trying to clean it up. I have this query that finds all the child records that are not in the parent table.

Select MemberID
FROM memtype AS a
WHERE NOT EXISTS
(SELECT *
FROM members AS b
WHERE a.MemberID IN (b.MemberID));

Now I'm trying to delete all those child records instead of just selecting them so I tried...

Delete MemberID
FROM memtype AS a
WHERE NOT EXISTS
(SELECT *
FROM members AS b
WHERE a.MemberID IN (b.MemberID));

Sql clearly doesn't like this

Transact SQL :: Parent / Child Tables - Pivot Child Data To Parent Row

May 19, 2015

Given the sample data and query below, I would like to know if it is possible to have the outcome be a single row, with the ChildTypeId, c.StartDate, c.EndDate being contained in the parent row. So, the outcome I'm hoping for based on the data below for ParentId = 1 would be:

1 2015-01-01 2015-12-31 AA 2015-01-01 2015-03-31 BB 2016-01-01 2016-03-31 CC 2017-01-01 2017-03-31 DD 2017-01-01 2017-03-31

declare @parent table (Id int not null primary key, StartDate date, EndDate date)
declare @child table (Id int not null primary key, ParentId int not null, ChildTypeId char(2) not null, StartDate date, EndDate date)
insert @parent select 1, '1/1/2015', '12/31/2015'
insert @child select 1, 1, 'AA', '1/1/2015', '3/31/2015'

Copy And Delete Table With Foreign Key References(...,...) On Delete Cascade?

Oct 23, 2004

Hello:
Need some serious help with this one...

Background:
Am working on completing an ORM that can not only handles CRUD actions -- but that can also updates the structure of a table transparently when the class defs change. Reason for this is that I can't get the SQL scripts that would work for updating a software on SqlServer to be portable to other DBMS systems. Doing it by code, rather than SQL batch has a chance of making cross-platform, updateable, software...

Anyway, because it needs to be cross-DBMS capable, the constraints are that the system used must work for the lowest common denominator....ie, a 'recipe' of steps that will work on all DBMS's.

The Problem:
There might be simpler ways to do this with SqlServer (all ears :-) - just in case I can't make it cross platform right now) but, with simplistic DBMS's (SqlLite, etc) there is no way to ALTER table once formed: one has to COPY the Table to a new TMP name, adding a Column in the process, then delete the original, then rename the TMP to the original name.

This appears possible in SqlServer too --...as long as there are no CASCADE operations.
Truncate table doesn't seem to be the solution, nor drop, as they all seem to trigger a Cascade delete in the Foreign Table.

So -- please correct me if I am wrong here -- it appears that the operations would be
along the lines of:
a) Remove the Foreign Key references
b) Copy the table structure, and make a new temp table, adding the column
c) Copy the data over
d) Add the FK relations, that used to be in the first table, to the new table
e) Delete the original
f) Done?

The questions are:
a) How does one alter a table to REMOVE the Foreign Key References part, if it has no 'name'.
b) Anyone know of a good clean way to get, and save these constraints to reapply them to the new table. Hopefully with some cross platform ADO.NET solution? GetSchema etc appears to me to be very dbms dependant?
c) ANY and all tips on things I might run into later that I have not mentioned, are also greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
Sky

Bcp In Child Before Parent

May 19, 2004

Huh?

I've got good RI data...BUT..a developer loaded the tables in alpha table order....

Such that the child loaded BEFORE the parent....

Huh?

Got a test being set up now to mess with the child file to add a key that doesn't exist in the parent...

But Why is this allowed?

In DB2 you can specify

LOAD DATA REPLACE NO CHECK....

On the load card...you then need to run a check after to verify the data...

Is that what's going on? Is there such a utility in SQL Server to run a check post load?

I'm confused....

Any comments appreciated.

Thanks

Can't Cascade Delete

Feb 14, 2007

I have a Sql Server 2005 table with 3 fields, an ID field (primary key), a parent ID field, and Name. The parent ID references the ID field (foreign to primary - many to one) within the same table so that records can reference their parent. I would like to place a cascade delete on the ID field so that when the primary ID is removed it will automatically remove all those records with a parent ID that match. Sql server does not allow me to establish this cascade delete.I was considering a trigger instead but only know how tio use the AFTER paramter and not an alternative. Thanks

Cascade Delete

Nov 13, 2007

I am a C# programmer also acting as the dba for a SQL Server project. I have a table called Folder that has child records in a table called FolderItems. When a Folder is deleted I want the FolderItems to be deleted. I know how to accomplish via code, but I would prefer to have SQL Server perform the delete just in case a folder is deleted via SQL Management Studio or other method.

Is a trigger the way to go about this? I know how to create triggers For Delete, but I just wondering is this the best method to create a Cascade delete or does SQL have any built in "Cascade" delete features.

I am using SQL Server 2005 if this matters.

Thank you,

ON DELETE CASCADE

Mar 7, 2008

Helle people. The question is:
I have two tables: Directories and SubDirectories. SubDirectories table has foreign key for DirectoryId. Now if I define this key with ON DELETE CASCADE attribute then in case of I delete a Directory record, all SubDirectory records will also be deleted. But if I have only one table Directories that have field named ParentId and in this field I save an Id of parent direcory. Can I define a parentId field as a foreign key to the same table and define it with ON DELETE CASCADE? Will it work too? Thanks

Parent Child Transversing

Jul 16, 2005

I have a parent/child relationship in a relational database broken out like this:
Table Name: categories[category_id] int (primary_key NOT NULL),[category_name] varchar(50),[parent_fk] int
The parent references the category_id in the same table to create the parent/child relationships. I can get all the bottom level categories by doing this:
select category_id, category, parent_fk from categories where category_id not in ( select parent_fk from categories)
Each bottom-level category has a count attached to it.
The problem I have is getting the counts rolled up for each parent of the bottom level. A parent could/will have multiple bottom-level categories (and counts).
My sql is a little weak, could you help me out? I can utilize everying in SQL 2000 (stored proc, UDF, anything).
Thanks!

Hierarchy – Parent And Child

Aug 2, 2007

I am designing a table to represent data in hierarchy structure, I use id and parent id to represent the data in hierarchy form:

Id | parent_id
---+-----------
1 | 0
2 | 0
3 | 0
4 | 1
5 | 1
6 | 4
7 | 4
8 | 7
9 | 7

This structure requires complicated queries (recursive call) to find out all the child of a root node, so I have added another field for the root id.
Is this a good relational database design ? kindly suggest.

Id | parent_id | root_id
---+-----------+---------
1 | 0 |
2 | 0 |
3 | 0 |
4 | 1 | 1
5 | 1 | 1
6 | 4 | 1
7 | 4 | 1
8 | 7 | 1
9 | 7 | 1
10 | 2 | 2
11 | 2 | 2
12 | 10 | 2
13 | 10 | 2

Cascade Delete Question

May 3, 2006

I am attempting to clarify how the cascade delete works. For example I have a Parent table and two child tables used for lookup that have the ID_FK = ID_PK from the Parent table.

tblUsers
---------------
ID_PK
Fname
Lname
...

tblUser_Phone
----------------
ID_FK
Phone
...

tbUser_Email
----------------
ID_FK
Email
...

If I needed to delete all records from tblUser_Phone would this delete my USER entry from the parent table tblUsers if I have cascade delete enabled?

Thanks in advance.

Cascade Delete Problem

Nov 2, 2006

Hi all, I've been reading for a couple of weeks but this is my first question so please be gentle with me.

I'm pretty new to SQL Server, though I've worked with Access for years. I've got four tables (I'm simplifying) and I need to set up cascade deletes between them. I understand how to create foreign keys and all that, but SQL Server is telling me it can't create my keys because it will create multiple cascade paths. I understand that too, I just need to find a way around it. Here are the tables...

dbo.JOBS
Job_Number

dbo.COLUMNS
JOBS_Job_Number
Column_Number

dbo.ROWS
JOBS_Job_Number
Row_Number

dbo.GRID_DATA
JOBS_Job_Number
Column_Number
Row_Number
Data

Currently I have keys set to cascade delete between JOBS>COLUMNS and JOBS>ROWS so that when the user deletes a job, the columns and rows for that job are deleted as well. No problem there.

If the user deletes a column, I have to delete all the grid data for that column and job. Same with rows. So I tried to establish cascade deletes between COLUMNS>GRID_DATA and ROWS>GRID_DATA and that's where I got in trouble. I assume the reason is that if the user deletes a job, it's going to delete the columns and rows, and I've got multiple cascade paths coming from COLUMNS and ROWS to GRID_DATA. I get it.

The question is, what can I do about it? I don't have a cascade delete between JOBS>GRID_DATA, although I do want that behavior, but I was assuming it just would flow through COLUMNS or ROWS. I haven't bothered to add that key as I'm guessing that would just make the situation worse. Anyone got any advice for me on this one?

Thanks!

Cascade Delete Problem..

Sep 6, 2007

Hi,
I have a Configuration Table tblConfig with 45 fields-
PK_Config_Id
ConfigCreatedOn
ConfigEditedOn
ConfigStartDate
ConfigEndDate
ConfigFor
��.
��.
��.

And an Employee table tblEmployee
PK_Emp_Id
EmpName
��.
��.
��.

I would create a Configuration and then apply this config to some Employees ��
So, I created a table tblEmployee_Config with 2 fields
FK_Config_Id
FK_Emp_Id

But I MAY need to change(Edit) few of the properties(fields) of the Configuration record associated to an emp. Therefore I need all the fields of tblConfig table along with employee key in tblEmployee_Config
So, I modified tblEmployee_Config to ��
FK_Emp_Id
FK_Config_Id
ConfigCreatedOn
ConfigEditedOn
ConfigStartDate
ConfigEndDate
ConfigFor
��.
��.
��.
i.e. putting all the fields of the tblConfig into tblEmployee_Config along with emp key

But instead of having 2 almost similar tables (tblConfig and tblEmployee_Config), I merged both the tables into 1 table having Configurations as well as Employees associated to Configs as��
PK_Config_Id
FK_Emp_Id
FK_Config_Id
ConfigCreatedOn
ConfigEditedOn
ConfigStartDate
ConfigEndDate
ConfigFor
��.
��.
��. Where FK_Emp_Id and FK_Config_Id would be NULL for Configurations.

Like----
PK_Config_Id FK_Emp_Id FK_Config_Id AllowBrks WorkHrs
1 NULL NULL Yes 9
2 100 1 Yes 9
3 101 1 No 8

Here record 1 is a Configuration and records 2 and 3 are Emps records that are associated to Config 1.

Now my question is ��
1. Is it correct if I put a relation like
Primary key Foreign Key
tblEmployee_Config tblEmployee_Config
PK_Config_Id FK_Config_Id

2. Can I perform cascade delete on the same table tblEmployee_Config such that��
When record 1 is deleted, records 2 and 3 should also get deleted because they refer to the first record?

Relationships: Cascade Delete

Nov 4, 2006

Hi,

I Use SQL Server 2005 Express edition. I have a few tables, which are inter-related. For e.g. I have a project table (ProjectID, Name, ...)

I also have a Project invoice table, in which ProjectID is referred as Foreign key.

Now, I want all the rows in Project invoice (child) table table to be deleted (for a particular ProjetID), if I delete the coresponding ProjectID in Projects (parent) table. If I use the 'on delete set null' or 'on delete cascade' constraint, only the ProjectID (in child table) is nullified whereas rest of the columns have data.

Is there any way out, where the whole ROW (not just that field) is deleted? Or, is it that this can be achieved only by some stored procedure / external program?

Thanks!

Selecting Parent / Child Relationships

Jun 28, 2004

Hello all, I'm having a real hard time trying to figure this one out. I'm trying to create a sql query that selects both the parent name and it's children, but it's got to loop through all the record sets to populate a drop down as an end result.

I think I thought this out correctly:
I have 2 tables

category
relationship

tbl category
cat_id //auto int
cat_name // varchar

relationship
r_id // auto int
parent_id // int
child_id // int

both the parent_id and child_id are associated with the cat_id
in my category table I could have
1cars // this is parent
2 audi
3 bmw
4 chevy

Table data example

r_id parent_id child_id
****************************
1 1 15
2 1 16
3 1 17
4 2 55
5 2 56
etc...
I want to select both the parent cat_name from category and also select the child cat_name where the parent_id = #

I can do it manaully like this
select cat_name, cat_id, parent_id , child_id from category, relationships where child_id = cat_id and parent_id = 1

what is the best way to loop through all the parent ids to find child category?
Could this be done in a stored procedure?

thanks in advance.

Insert Trigger For Parent/Child

May 9, 2006

I am having problems creating a trigger in SQL Server? I have 2 tables (parent and child) with one to many relationship. When I save a record, one row gets inserted in the parent and one to many gets inserted in the child. The trigger is on the parent table and it is trying to select the number of new records just inserted in the child table that meets a certain criteria. Since the transaction hasn't been committed I can not select the number of records from the child. Does anyone know how to handle this? My manager insists this be done in a trigger.
Thanks, James
