Foreign Key Constraint- Reference 1 Of 2 Tables

Nov 2, 2007

Hi,
I don't know if this is possible, i believe not, so I'm here to ask the experts if is possible to have a foreign key constraint that references the key of one of two tables.
Like this:
I have 3 tables: TABLE X, TABLE A and TABLE B
Is it possible to the FK on TABLE X refernce the PK of TABLE A OR TABLE B?
If yes, how can I do this?
If not, I need to have a fourth table, so TABLE X references TABLE A and TABLE Y references TABLE B.
Thanks!

Cyclical Reference Error With Foreign Keys

Oct 26, 2007

The following SQL statements give me an error on the last line:

CREATE TABLE Employees (id int PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL, name nvarchar(50));
CREATE TABLE RandomTable (uniq int PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL, empid1 int NOT NULL, empid2 int NOT NULL);
ALTER TABLE RandomTable ADD CONSTRAINT RandomTable_FKey_1 FOREIGN KEY (empid1) REFERENCES Employees (id) ON DELETE CASCADE;
ALTER TABLE RandomTable ADD CONSTRAINT RandomTable_FKey_2 FOREIGN KEY (empid2) REFERENCES Employees (id) ON DELETE CASCADE;

The error is:

"The referential relationship will result in a cyclical reference that is not allowed."

Um...how is this cyclical? Is it because I have multiple cascade paths? If so, how do I go about doing the same thing?

Thanks,
Jeff

Chicken And Egg Problem: FOREIGN KEY Reference To A Table That Doesn't Exist Yet

Jul 23, 2005

I'm trying to create a local copy of a popular CRM database calledSalesforce.com. Many of the tables in the DB have FOREIGN KEYreferences that I want to preserve, but I've run into a chicken and eggproblem. Table "A" has a reference to table "B," and table "B" has areference to table "A." So I can't CREATE one until the other exists.Is there a way to disable these checks until I've created all theschema?Here's what I see (error first, then SQL that caused it):Server: Msg 1767, Level 16, State 1, Line 1Foreign key 'FK__UserRole__LastMo__48CFD27E' references invalid table'User'.Server: Msg 1750, Level 16, State 1, Line 1Could not create constraint. See previous errors.CREATE TABLE salesforce3.dbo."UserRole" ("Id" varchar(18) PRIMARY KEY ,"Name" varchar(40), "ParentRoleId" varchar(18) REFERENCES"UserRole"(Id), "RollupDescription" varchar(80),"OpportunityAccessForAccountOwner" varchar(40),"CaseAccessForAccountOwner" varchar(40), "LastModifiedDate" datetime,"LastModifiedById" varchar(18) REFERENCES "User"(Id), "SystemModstamp"datetime);CREATE TABLE salesforce3.dbo."User" ("Id" varchar(18) PRIMARY KEY ,"Username" varchar(80), "LastName" varchar(80), "FirstName"varchar(40), "CompanyName" varchar(80), "Division" varchar(80),"Department" varchar(80), "Title" varchar(80), "Street" text, "City"varchar(40), "State" varchar(20), "PostalCode" varchar(20), "Country"varchar(40), "Email" varchar(80), "Phone" varchar(40), "Fax"varchar(40), "MobilePhone" varchar(40), "Alias" varchar(8), "IsActive"bit, "TimeZoneSidKey" varchar(40), "UserRoleId" varchar(18) REFERENCES"UserRole"(Id), "LocaleSidKey" varchar(40), "ReceivesInfoEmails" bit,"ReceivesAdminInfoEmails" bit, "EmailEncodingKey" varchar(40),"ProfileId" varchar(18) REFERENCES "Profile"(Id), "LanguageLocaleKey"varchar(40), "EmployeeNumber" varchar(20), "WirelessEmail" varchar(80),"LastLoginDate" datetime, "CreatedDate" datetime, "CreatedById"varchar(18) REFERENCES "User"(Id), "LastModifiedDate" datetime,"LastModifiedById" varchar(18) REFERENCES "User"(Id), "SystemModstamp"datetime, "UserPermissionsMarketingUser" bit,"UserPermissionsOfflineUser" bit, "UserPermissionsWirelessUser" bit,"UserPermissionsSuperCssUser" bit, "UserPermissionsAvantgoUser" bit);

DECLARE Loan_cursor CURSOR FOR
SELECT Loan_No,store

WHERE maturity_date > '2001-04-30' and loan_no like 'ABL%'

OPEN Loan_cursor

-- Perform the first fetch.
FETCH NEXT FROM Loan_cursor

WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
Declare @LoanNo varchar(12)
** Set @LoanNo = Loan_No

-- This is executed as long as the previous fetch succeeds.
FETCH NEXT FROM Loan_cursor
END

CLOSE Loan_cursor
DEALLOCATE Loan_cursor


when l run the cursor l get the error
Server: Msg 207, Level 16, State 3, Line 15
Invalid column name 'Loan_No'.
.
If l reference it as Set @LoanNo = LoanTable.Loan_No l get the error

Server: Msg 107, Level 16, State 3, Line 15
The column prefix 'loan' does not match with a table name or alias name used in the query.
All l'm trying to do is to compare the loan number that l get from the cursor to the value in the loans table. Maybe reference is a better word

Reference CTE More Than Once In A SP

Sep 11, 2007



Hi All ...

WITH myCTE (x,y,z) AS (SELECT x,y,z, from myTable)

SELECT x,y,sum(z) from myCTE

SELECT y,z,sum(x) from myCTE

the second SELECT fails, and says invalid object name. does the CTE go out of scope after i reference it once?

never mind the semantics of what I am SELECTing, I just want to be able to reference the CTE more than once in my SP

am I trying to use the CTE in a way that was not intended?

Why Must My SQL Object Reference With The DBO Name.

Sep 20, 2000

Hi,

I am access SQL 7 via ADO in some ASP pages. My database objects were created under a user name aliased to the dbo. As a result, when I have my client logon to make a connection, I have to preface all my object references with the name of the owner, i.e., Select * from mydboname.people . Is there a way to avoid having to prefix all my transact sql statements with the owner?

thanks,

Reference Materials

Jun 21, 2008

As I posted earlier, I am relatively new to TSQL. I have been given a few books:
O'Reilly SQL on SQL Server 2005
O'Reilly SQL in a Nutshell
Mastering SQL Server 2005 - Sybex
Beginning SQL Server 2005 Programming - Wrox

I have a copy of SQL2005 Developers Edition on a development server. So I think I have some decent tools at my disposal.

I was wondering if there are any other sites or forums that might be suggested for learning SQL programming? Right now, I am just making stuff up and following examples in books, etc. I would like to find a site where there are beginner level projects for no other purpose than educational. Something where I can get more hands on of the design and programming aspects. Just to practice.

Thanks,
grinch

Object Reference Not Set...

Jul 31, 2007

Hello. I'm getting an error - "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" when running an SSRS report with graphs. It only happens when the returned dataset is empty (based on parameters set by the user, it is possible to return no rows). I've tried using the NoRows property (I entered "No Data" in the property box), but I still get the same error. Is there another way to account for an empty dataset in charts?

Thanks,

UDT - Get Reference To Table

Jan 12, 2007

Hello everyone !

Given a UDT, is there any way to get a reference to the table where the specific instance is running ?

IE: Let's suppose we have defined a UDT named UDTPoint; now we define two tables: ATable & BTable, wich both have one column that is defined as UDTPoint.

When an insert/update/delete operation on ATable or BTable occurs, the UDTPoint class needs to verify in which context it is running (ATable or BTable) before doing operations on data.

Is there any way to achieve that ?

Thanks

Aseembly Reference With EXE

Apr 21, 2008

Hi,
I wanted to add a reference to an assembly in my report (not a DLL, but an EXE). As I see there is no option to select an assembly which is an EXE. Firstly, is it possible to add a reference to an EXE (I guess not)? Secondly, If no, why is it not possible?

Calculating Next Reference

Feb 6, 2008

Hi,

Our tables have a reference field which users can enter their own references into.

However, they can choose to have the system calculate the next reference number.

The reference can contain any characters from a-z, A-Z and 0-9.

In our system, reference AAAA is greater than reference ZZZ; the next reference after AAAA is AAAB.

How would I calculate the greatest current reference in the table?

Best Way To Reference A Table With A Composite Key?

Nov 24, 2006

The table above is my users table. It allows for a user to be at multiple sites or multiple locations within a single site or multiple sites. Would it be wise to use a auto incrementing primary key instead of the 3 column composite key? The reason I ask is because if I am referencing this SU table (which I will be a lot), a lot more data would be replicated to the tables which have the foreign key to this table, right? But if I used a single incrementing column as the primary key, only a small integer would be used as the foreign key, saving space?Does this make sense?

SSIS - Need To Reference .NET Assembly Without GAC

Jan 25, 2007

I have a .NET assembly that I need to reference and use within my SSIS script task.
The only way I can acheive this is to strongly name my assembly and put it in the GAC.
This is not possible as my assembly is already in production and uses other 3rd party assemblies that would also need to be registered in the GAC.
As a workaround, I have created a .Net console application that references my assembly, that call from a SSIS Process Task.
Does anyone know of another way I could use my .NET assembly within my SSIS package?
Any help appreciated.
 Regards,
Paul.

Object Reference Not Set But Only On Deployment

Please help as I've no idea what to try next!
I had a 2003 project designed by someone else. I upgraded it to 2005 using the conversion wizard.
Now it all works find within vs2005, I deploy it to a location else where on my pc and create a virtaul directory and map it so that I'm using IIS. This all works fine.
As soon as I move it to a virtual machine (windows 2k server SP4 IIS5) I get object reference not set to an instance, basically what I can determine is my sqlconnection fails when it is opened. Can anyone tell me?
