Database Relationships
Aug 22, 2006While playing about with SQL Server 2005 I am sure that I saw a tool to do relationships the same was as in access - however now I can't find it.
Am I seeeing things or does this really exist?

How Do I Transfer Tables And Relationships From One Database To Another?
Aug 24, 2006Hi, I'm working on Sql Server 2005 Express and I'm trying to transfer over some of my tables with the primary and foreign keys relations as well as the data in them from one asp.net 2.0 website to another.But I can't seem to find the Import/Export option in Sql Server 2005 Express Edition, does anyone know how I can do this?Thanks in advanced.

Aug 2, 2004When you make a join, it may look something like this:
SELECT Products.ProductName from Products, Categories
WHERE Categories.CategoryName = 'Seafood' AND
Products.CategoryID = Categories.CategoryID
In this query you use 'Products.CategoryID = Categories.CategoryID' to give the relation between the two tables. But if you already added the relationships to your database, this should be known.
My question is, why is it necessary to add the relation in the query when the relationships are already in the database? Is it somehow possible to ommit the relation in the query and make use of the relationships in the database.
Kind regards,

Discover Relationships Between Existing Tables Of A Database
Mar 23, 2007Hello Friends,
I am right now working on a project that has a database with over 100 tables in a database. Because of extreme time constraints the developers didn't build in any relationships or constraints between or in the tables. Now I need to remodel the database such that the database is more structured and normalized. I don't have much knowledge about the database design since it is a 2 year old application and the person who developed the database is now gone. I know remodelling the database would require knowledge of the existing database and business rules.
I was wondering if there are any tools that could suggest or discover relationships between tables. For eg. Lets say there are two tables named 'Customer' and 'Order'. I notice that there is a column named 'id' in Customer and a column named 'customer_id' in Order. So I ask the tool to discover a relationship between id and customer_id and it tells me that there is a one-one or one-many or no relationship by comparing values. I heard ERWin would be able to do that but thats expensive. Please do let me know asap.
Transact SQL :: Possible To Get Table Relationships Information From Database Diagram?
May 5, 2015I'm using Sql Server 2012 Enterprise and have a database with over 400 tables. I am looking at one diagram which contains about 20 (or so) tables and their relationships. When I right-click on a relationship line I only see information about which tables are connected on that line but not on which fields. Can I get that information from the Diagram or can I only get that from the sys tables?
View 2 Replies View RelatedGet New Database Created Then Running Script To Created Tables / Relationships
Jun 29, 2015trying to get a new database created then running a script to created the tables, relationships, indexes and insert default data. All this I'm making happen during the installation of my Windows application. I'm installing SQL 2012 Express as a prerequisite of my application and then opening a connection to that installed SQL Server using Windows Authentication.
E.g.: Data Source=ComputerNameSQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=master;Integrated Security=SSPI; Then I run a query from my code to create the database eg: "CREATE DATABASE [MyDatabaseName]".
From this point I run a script using a Batch file containing "SQLCMD....... Myscriptname.sql". In my script I have my tables being created using "Use [MyDatabaseName] Go CREATE TABLE [dbo].[MyTableName] .....". So question is, should I have [dbo]. as part of my Create Table T-SQL commands? Can I remove "[dbo]."? Who would be the owner of the database? If I can remove the [dbo]., should I also remove dbo. from any query string from within my code?
One To One Relationships
May 29, 2007Ok, so I open up a book on beginning sql and it discusses relationships.There is something that appears wrong. I am not understanding how the book is describing the one to one relationship. In it's figure, it shows that the same agency can have two different artist id's. But according to it's definition of one to one list can be related from both tables.Can someone explain this further please?Thanks in advance.

Aug 8, 2007How do you show many to many relationships in ASP.NET with datasources?
I can retrieve the information from the database easily but I can't manage to save that information into a variable so that i can then call for only information in the M2M table related to the ID Key I want. For example..1 <asp:Label ID="lblTestLabel" Text='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "title_id") %>' Runat="server" />
2
3 <script language="VB" runat="server">
4 sub Page_Load(sender as Object, e as EventArgs)
5 Dim lblTitleID As Label = Repeater1.FindControl("lblTestLabel")
6 Response.Write(lblTitleID.text)
7 End Sub
8 </script>
When I try to run this script it dosn't work and I get the error:
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
For line 6 of the code above. Is there a way to just retrieve information from a datasource without storing information into a label first?
PS: I use sqldatasource tags to retrieve information like:1 <asp:SqlDataSource ID="DataSet1" runat="server"
2 ConnectionString="Driver={MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver};server=localhost;database=;user=;pwd=;option=3;"
3 ProviderName="System.Data.Odbc"
4 SelectCommand="Select * from titles order by title_id">

Relationships...
Feb 2, 2004Is there any easy way of getting all the relationships for the tables in aSQL server db? I've looked through Google and the Books online but I'm barely scratching the surface on the systables. I know I can go to each individual table and get the dependencies or even print out the diagram through Enterprise Manager but I really don't want to have to type out all the primary/foreign keys for 100+ tables. Any help on getting this data either through a 3rd party software or querying the systables would be great.

One-to-one Relationships
Mar 21, 2001We have a table with approximately 150 colums and 2/3 of them are bit datatypes. We do not expect much activity on this table. Does it make sense to separate it into a few tables instead of 1 with one-to-one relationships? Will the join(s) significantly slow down our web application? Thank you

Many To Many Relationships
Oct 17, 2007Hello,
I have 3 tables. Posts, PostsTags and Tags.
This is a many to many relationship.
So PostsTags has the following columns:
PostId (PK) and TagId (PK)
I always did that way in SQL 2005.
In some examples I see PostsTags have 3 columns:
PostTagId(PK), PostId (FK), TagId (FK)
Should I use it this way, instead?
Thanks,

Relationships Vs. No Relationships
Apr 3, 2007Hello!
I have a really small database in terms of number of objects, but very big in terms of data (possibly millions of records). I always try to design my databases to be in the 3rd normal form (at least I hope they are!), but sometimes (for databases consisting of just a few tables) maintaining M:N relationships looks like an over-bloated approach to me... Let's see an actual example. I have a table like this:
Code SnippetCreate table [Airfares]
(
[OriginCity] Char(3) NOT NULL,
[DestCity] Char(3) NOT NULL,
[FareDate] Datetime Default getdate() NOT NULL,
[Price] Decimal(9,2) Default 0 NOT NULL,
[PriceChange] Decimal(9,2) Default 0 NOT NULL,
[Wrong] Bit Default 0 NOT NULL,
Primary Key ([OriginCity],[DestCity],[FareDate])
)
go
Now, at first there also was an Airline nvarchar(50) field, which stored the airline name. But now the client requested to store fares for a few airlines if it's the same price and city pair. This way we can have 3 airlines offering the same price on the same itinerary for example. So I added a dictionary table called Airlines:
Code SnippetCreate table [Airlines]
(
[AirlineCode] Char(2) NOT NULL,
[Name] Nvarchar(50) NOT NULL,
Primary Key ([AirlineCode])
)
go
Now, there are two things I can do. We are obviously dealing with the M:N relationship type here. I can either add another nvarchar column in the first table, like Airlines nvarchar(255) and store something like 'AA,AB,AC' there - those would be airline codes. OR I could do it the proper way and create a cross-reference table which will connect both Airfares and Airlines tables (this will store as many records as there are airlines for that particular itinerary, offerring the same price):
Code SnippetCreate table [AirfareAirlines]
(
[AirlineCode] Char(2) NOT NULL,
[OriginCity] Char(3) NOT NULL,
[DestCity] Char(3) NOT NULL,
[FareDate] Datetime Default getdate() NOT NULL,
Primary Key ([AirlineCode],[OriginCity],[DestCity],[FareDate])
)
go
But this is starting to look overly complicated, isn't it? The pros of this are I'm going to get real relationships, referential integrity, etc., but cons are more difficult code to query all this. What would you do? Do we really need referential integrity everywhere? Are there times when we're better not using relationships? I have seen many programmers skip referential integrity before, which always made me think they are missing something important in a Relational Database Management System.

An Easy One: The Need For Relationships?
Mar 16, 2008Ok - I am still a bit weak on SQL. My understanding of FK relationships in a database are to reinforce the data integrity - Correct? For example, does it make sure that the id given for SiteID does indeed exists. Can it link tables like JOIN in select statements? If not, is there any gains by creating them, such as performance?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've Never Been Good With Relationships
Feb 15, 2004I'm having some trouble working out how to query some data. Rather than explain up front, here's some examples of what I want to achieve:
*******************************************************
I've got a structure which looks vaguely like this:
[ANCESTORS]
Grandparent
Parent
Child
If limit by grandparents, then I only get the lineage for that particular grandparent. I.e.:
SELECT *
FROM [ANCESTORS]
( some sort of joins here )
Where Grandparent.Name = 'Cybill'
This would return all of the children of 'Cybill' and their children. Now, if I use the following query:
SELECT *
FROM [ANCESTORS]
( some sort of joins here )
Where Child.Name = 'Jean'
This would return Jean's parents + the parents of Jean's parents (Jean's grandparents).
Likewise, if I enter:
SELECT *
FROM [ANCESTORS]
( some sort of joins here )
Where Parent.Name = 'Ron'
Then I would get Ron's parents and also his children.
*******************************************************
So, as you can see, at first it appears that I'm after a LEFT JOIN - meaning that the grandparents don't need to have child records to be returned, but, then it turns out that I need INNER JOINS - to limit grandparents when I choose children.
Can anybody see my dilemma here?

Relationships In MSDE - How Do I Do It?
Nov 27, 2005Hi
I am using the Web Matrix Project to write a .NET
application. I have set up a database using MSDE which I
accessed through the Web Matrix Project to start with. I have now
found the Web Data Administrator which I use to backup my database and
help to transfer it to the Server where I hope to run this application
(if I ever get it finished!).
I need to set up some relationships between database tables but cannot
see a way to do this. SQL Server Books on Line referes to
Enterprise Manager which I believe ships with the full MS SQL Server
package (and costs a package). I am doing this on a
shoe-string. Any ideas on how to do it?
Thanks in advance.

Finding Relationships
Sep 23, 2005Hi, sorry if this comes across as a stupid question, but i'm new to SQL. I have had a look on Google and on these forums but not found the answer..
I am running MS SQL 7 with a database containing around 130 tables.. i want to know if there is a query/command that i can type that will look through all the tables and tell me which ones reference a specified table (through it's key). Hope this makes sense! i've looked at some of the stored procedures but not found any that give me anything useful.
EDIT: Just so you are aware, i did not create this database, hence why i am not aware of the relationships myself, i have only just started working on it.
Thanks

Relationships And Index's
Dec 14, 2006I'm upgrading my sites forum to a newer version. I've tried, unsuccessfully so far, to transfer member details, threads and posts to the new format. I say unsuccessfully but I have made it work once by deleting the Index's and Relationships on tables and re-entering them after transfer but his ended up screwing with the regestration of new members.
Before I become more frustrated than I already am, could I run something by you guys with the experience you have.
If I delete the Rels and Indx's again, then move all my tables over and then run this code through my browser, will the Indexs and Relationships find their way back to the right place?

and two subtype tables:
employee
id
personId

How To Remove 1:1 Relationships
Sep 12, 2007I have an asset schema problem which I'm not too sure how to resolve....
I have an asset table which stores values common to all asset types. I have created seperate asset type tables(VehicleAssetDetail, PropertyAssetDetail, InvestmentAssetDetail) to store their specific details.
This in turn creates 1:1 relationships between "Asset" table and the respective detail tables.
If I were to store all the details in the "Asset" table it would cause a lot of redundancy bearing in my mind there are about four other asset type details I have excluded from the schema.
Are the 1:1 relationships bad? If they are, how do I resolve them without throwing all the columns from the asset details tables into the Asset table?
Attached is a 15Kb gif image of the schema. I'd really appreciate any help with this... :)
Thanks.
