Hi there,
I have created a hash table. After using it, somehow the primary key
constraint of this hash table still exist in database. Which cause
error.
When I delete this constraint with Alter table Drop con....
It gives no table exist error.
Can anybody give any idea.
Thanks in Adv.,
T.S.Negi
select * from sysobjects where type = 'K'

pk_dtproperties

When I say - DROP CONSTRAINT pk_dtproperties
i get this error
-------------------
Server: Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 1
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'CONSTRAINT'.
NOTE:
In tables, I don't have any tables all tables i deleted but wonder from where this creature comes from,.........
Hello, I have hit the wall here...can't make sense of this one.
I have a script that creates a PRIMARY KEY constraint called PK_tblDRG
CODE:
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[tblDRG]
ALTER COLUMN [record_id] Uniqueidentifier NOT NULL
Go
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[tblDRG]
WITH NOCHECK ADD PK_tblDRG PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
(
[record_id]
) WITH FILLFACTOR = 90 ON [PRIMARY]
All is fine with that. I run this to verify:
EXEC sp_pkeys @table_name = 'tblDRG'
,@table_owner = 'dbo' ,@table_qualifier = 'Relational_05Q3'
which returns this:
TABLE_QUALIFIERTABLE_OWNERTABLE_NAMECOLUMN_NAMEKEY_SEQPK_NAME
Relational_05Q3dbotblDRGrecord_id1PK_tblDRG
Now I want to drop the constriant if it exists:
if exists (select * from dbo.sysobjects where id = object_id(N'[dbo].[PK__tblDRG]') and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsPrimaryKey') = 1)
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[tblDRG] DROP CONSTRAINT PK__tblDRG
AND I get this in return:
The command(s) completed successfully.
So, lets double check:
EXEC sp_pkeys @table_name = 'tblDRG'
,@table_owner = 'dbo' ,@table_qualifier = 'Relational_05Q3'
AND I STILL GET THIS:
TABLE_QUALIFIERTABLE_OWNERTABLE_NAMECOLUMN_NAMEKEY_SEQPK_NAME
Relational_05Q3dbotblDRGrecord_id1PK_tblDRG
Hmmmmm. Looks like the IF statement didn't do it's job. Ok fine. I'll just kill it myself:
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[tblDRG] DROP CONSTRAINT PK__tblDRG
AND I GET THIS?!?!?!?!
Server: Msg 3728, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
'PK__tblDRG' is not a constraint.
What am I not getting here? Is it me...I can take If I am a bone head here.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
ALTER TABLE doc_exe ADD
/* Add a PRIMARY KEY identity column. */
column_b INT IDENTITY
CONSTRAINT column_b_pk PRIMARY KEY,
/* Add a column referencing another column in the same table. */
column_c INT NULL
CONSTRAINT column_c_fk

go
ALTER TABLE doc_exe
DROP CONSTRAINT column_c_fk
How to recreate CONSTRAINT column_c_fk without droping and reacreating column column_c or add new CONSTRAINT on column column_c ?
Thanks a lot .
I need to make some changes to tables in a database. To do this requires that I "alter table" and "drop constraint" All constraints drop properly, except one. The last one will churn away forever in query analyzer and never drop. I am unable to make the necessary changes until this completes. I am guessing that there is a data issue that is keeping the constraint from being dropped. Any ideas on how to proceed? Thanks!

Hello !
I am using Microsoft SQL Server 2000
I am trying to drop a column that has a constraint, executing the script inside a transaction:
BEGIN TRANSACTION
ALTER TABLE MOPTeste DROP CONSTRAINT FK_IDMOPPais
ALTER TABLE MOPTeste DROP COLUMN IDMOPPais
COMMIT
If i dont commit the drop constraint, it wont let me drop the column
Solutions?
I have to drop foreign key constraint from one table. How can I do that? Is it possible?
Also,
Is it possible to add a foreign key constraint on the table once it has a data?
I am very new to sql and I have got this doubt.
CREATE TABLE employee
{ EMP-ID VARCHAR UNIQUE,
DESIG VARCHAR UNIQUE,
SALARY INT };
Probably this is worst table ever created :).Now How to drop UNIQUE constraint on only column lets DESIG.
if i write
ALTER TABLE employee
DROP CONSTRAINT myuniqueconstraint;
will drop constraints on both columns which I dont want.
Any query that remove UNIQUE CONSTRAINT only on DESIGN column.
and one more clarification,
ALTER TABLE employee
MODIFY SALARY INT NOT NULL;
ALTER TABLE employee
ALTER COLUMN SALARY INT NOT NULL;
which of the above two is right query to add NOT NULL constraint to the above employee TABLE?
Hi all, I am trying to create a CONSTRAINT but for some reason T-SQL does not allow me to do that.
When I try to DROP a CONSTRAINT it says:
Msg 3728, Level 16, State 1, Line 13'DF_TBL_SyncTable_DEVUK' is not a constraint.Msg 3727, Level 16, State 0, Line 13Could not drop constraint. See previous errors.
When I try to ADD a CONSTRAINT it says:
Msg 1781, Level 16, State 1, Line 14Column already has a DEFAULT bound to it.Msg 1750, Level 16, State 0, Line 14Could not create constraint. See previous errors.
For some reason I can't win here. Can't drop it nor can I create one. Any solution?
Code Snippet
ALTER TABLE TBL_SyncTable DROP CONSTRAINT DF_TBL_SyncTable_DEVUK
ALTER TABLE TBL_SyncTable ADD CONSTRAINT GOD_TBL_SyncTable_DEVUK DEFAULT 2 FOR DEVUK
Thanks for comments + suggestions.
*UPDATE*
I am trying to use the following code to check if the SCHEMA exists but still no luck. For some reason when I create it and wrap an IF statement around it, it doesn't detect the SCHEMA. Is something wrong with my code?
Code Snippet
IF EXISTS(
SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLE_CONSTRAINTS WHERE CONSTRAINT_SCHEMA = 'dbo'
AND CONSTRAINT_NAME = 'DF_TBL_SyncTable_DEVUK'
AND TABLE_NAME = 'TBL_SyncTable'
)
SELECT * FROM TABLE_1
ELSE
ALTER TABLE TBL_SyncTable ADD CONSTRAINT DF_TBL_SyncTable_DEVUK DEFAULT 2 FOR DEVUK
I need to run the alter table to drop a default. However, the default name is kind of 'dynamic' from around 1000 databases, thus I need to run the following sql to get the name to a variable. Now, it looks the alter table statement does not like to drop a vaiable, is there a solution about it?
declare @radius_default varchar(40)
select @radius_default = (select sobj.name from sysobjects sobj
inner join syscolumns scolumn
on sobj.ID = scolumn.cdefault
where scolumn.name = 'radius' and sobj.name like '%LandMarks%')
print 'Need To Drop @radius_default: ' + @radius_default
--====================================
alter table LandMarks drop constraint @radius_default
thanks

Hello,
I have two tables Person & Location where Location has a primary key LocationId and Person has a foreign key LocationId.
Sometime ago I used the Database Diagrams visual tool of SQL Server Management Studio Express to create the foreign key relationship between the two tables - i.e. "visually" (drawing a line between the PK & FK LocationId elements of both tables).
Time has passed and I recently noticed that, upon retrieving my saved diagram, the foreign key relationship had "fallen off" (i.e. the many-to-one line was no longer showing in the diagram).
After recreating the relationship (redrawing the line) I find that I get an error message when I try to save the diagram:
Post-Save Notifications
[!] Errors were encountered during the save process. Some database objects were not saved.
'Location' table saved successfully
'Person' table
- Unable to create relationship 'FK_Person_Location'.
The ALTER TABLE statement conflicted with the FOREIGN KEY constraint "FK_Person_Location". The conflict occurred in database "mydb", table "dbo.Location", column 'LocationId'.
When I go back to the object explorer and view the dependencies for the two tables, there is no dependency (between these two tables) revealed. When I try to create the foreign key constraint manually (T-SQL) it again says can't add the constraint. It comes up with an error as follows:
ALTER TABLE Person
ADD FOREIGN KEY (LocationId) REFERENCES Location (LocationId)
Msg 547, Level 16, State 0, Line 2
The ALTER TABLE statement conflicted with the FOREIGN KEY constraint "FK__Person__LocationId__793DFFAF". The conflict occurred in database "mydb", table "dbo.Location", column 'LocationId'.
(Note: Each time I do this, the 8 hexadecimal character suffix changes.)
When I try to drop the foreign key:
alter table Person
drop constraint FK__Person__LocationId
it comes back with the error:
Msg 3728, Level 16, State 1, Line 2
'FK__Person__LocationId' is not a constraint.
Msg 3727, Level 16, State 0, Line 2
Could not drop constraint. See previous errors.
So it seems that there's some kind of goof up here. Can anybody shed light on this / tell me how to fix it?
Hi,
I am trying to insert into a table. I got the above error message then I deleted all the data in the table. But I am still getting this error.
Whats wrong?
Hello,
I am getting the following message when I am trying to insert into my table. Request is the primary keys and the Bus_Req_Id and Test_Case_Id are both foreign keys. The data that is being inserted into these fields are not unique.
This is the exact error message:
Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'PK_REQUEST_BUS_REQ_TST'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'REQUEST_BUS_REQ_TST'.
The statement has been terminated.
I am trying to insert 700 - 900 rows based on certain criteria. If I delete the keys the inserts will work.
Any help would be most greatful.
Thank you in advance
Anne
I know what this error means is that you can not insert duplicate primary keys in the table but the thing is I am checking the rows if they do not exist then insert otherwise don't do any thing these are the lines I am writing in my strored procedure can someone please let me know what I am doing wrong here.
If not exists
(Select * From GGP WHERE
FFECTIVE_DATE =@v_EFFECTIVE_DATE AND
ASSET_ID= @v_ASSET_ID AND
ASSET_TYPE = @v_ASSET_TYPE AND
Value = @v_Value AND
hour = @v_Hour)
INSERT INTO GGP
(ASSET_ID,ASSET_TYPE,Hour,Value,EFFECTIVE_DATE) values(@v_ASSET_ID,@v_ASSET_TYPE,@v_Hour,@v_Value, @v_EFFECTIVE_DATE)
The exact error is
Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'PK_SP_GGP'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object
Thanks in advance.
When I try to insert data into a table (let's just call it MyTable for this post), I suddenly get the following error.
Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'PK_MyTable'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'MyTable'.
My table does have a primary key field named 'id', which is an auto-incrementing BIGINT. The last record I successfully inserted received 14 in the id field, so I'm assuming the database is trying to assign 15 to the next. Unfortunately, there is already a record with an id of 15; the next available id is 21.
Is there a way to avoid these primary key collisions?
Hi All,
I have a table that has 3 columns, two of them make a composite primary key. The table is populated with data. What I need to do is to add a third column to a composite primary key. I have tried to do that with the following command:
alter table databasesize
add constraint pk_dbsize primary key (dbid)
But I get the error message:
Table 'databasesize' already has a primary key defined on it.
How can I do this?
I have an odd problem on something that used to work fine.
I have an SP that inserts a record into a table (Contract) with two keyed fields.
The keys are as follows:
ContractID and SeqID (Sequence)
These two keys make the records unique.
Ex:
ContractID SeqID
12345 1
12345 2
12345 3
etc....
Several weeks of using this procedure have been fine. Suddenly I started getting this error:
Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'PK_contract'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'Contract'.
The statement has been terminated.
I verified that the values do not violate the constraints. In fact, I can type the exact information into the table directly without a problem.
Has anybody experienced this before?
Any help would be apprciated!
Here is the code in the SP;
CREATE PROCEDURE bcipNewContractSeq @ContractID Char(10 )AS
DECLARE @MaxSeqID int
DECLARE @NewSeqID int
SELECT @MaxSeqID = Max(SeqID) from Contract_Live..Contract WHERE ContractID = @ContractID
SET @NewSeqID = @MaxSeqID + 1
--Copy Contract info for new seq with new seqid- record has default start and end dates
INSERT INTO [Contract_Live].[dbo].[Contract] ([ContractID], [seqID], [Status], [ContractName])
SELECT @ContractID, @NewSeqID, 'In Process', ContractName
FROM [Contract_Live].[dbo].[Contract]
WHERE [Contract_Live].[dbo].[Contract] .ContractID = @ContractID
GO
I'm trying to insert records into a table and getting the below error and not sure how to resolve it:

I've a set of source tables on one server and a set of destination tables on another.
When I move data from one server to next, I get an error saying "Violation of Primary Key Constraint". This happens for only one table among the 6 tables that I have. I dont understand why it throws me this error. Though theres an error for this table, the data from source table moves into this destination table.
Am I missing something?
Thanks,

I checked column from xsd file which created from DataBase.
And before installing my application I will check any column in destination base whether have complete column or not.
And if there is any column which is not wanted column(not same as xsd structure)
I will delete it by creating sql command as follow "ALTER TABLE tableName DROP COLUMN column1, column2, ......"
and Execute it by program initialization.
So
I need delete it by run-time
However some column may be Primary Key with any reason
That's why I can't delete them by simple command
I expect to delete them by specific column instead of specific constraint name which is not sure name.
Please advise me....
I have two tables: table 1 and table 2. The primary key of table is composite key of two collumns and table 2 is the child of parent table 1. Is it possible to create / define a foreign key constraint using a composite primary key?

I am running merg replication (pull) between 7 various sites and once in a while when two people update information in a table in close proximty in time, I will get a primary key violation when viewing conflicts, it's almost excluslively in one table. What is the best way to handle this error. Should I delete the entire column on the subscriber and let the publisher update the subscriber? Or should I redesing the table and primary keys? Any assistance in the matter would be greatly appreciated.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHey there :)I'm using Ruby on Rails to create a migration of a legacy database onan MS SQL Server. I'd like to name my constraints myself, such as'pk_authors', but in the cases where a table has an auto incrementedIDENTITY(1,1) id field, Rails takes over and adds the primary keyitself when creating the table.This is fine, except then the constraint gets a name like'PK__authors_384934' which is not very intuitive or easily remembered;)I'd like to just throw in an 'ALTER TABLE authors...' statement justafter that table has been created, but I'm not sure how to go aboutrenaming the auto generated constraint since the name it gets ispartially random. Is there any way to indirectly refer to theconstraint like 'RENAME PRIMARY KEY CONSTRAINT ON authors TOpk_authors' or something like that, so that I can rename theconstraint?Thanks in advance,Daniel Buus :)
