Help With Foreign Key Relationship
Jul 3, 2007
When I try to insert a record on my DB (SQL 2005 Express) I get a constraint error. This is my table setup which has been simplified to expose the problem I have:
Categories TABLE
int CatId PK
varchar CatName
:
Items TABLE
int ItemId PK
varchar ItemName
:
X_Items_Categories
int CatId
int ItemId
So basically I have a one-to-many relationship between Items and Categories, in other words each item is associated to one or more categories and this association is done via the X_Items_Categories cross table. On this cross table I set two constraints:
The CatId of each entry in the cross table (X_Items_Categories) must exist in the Category table, and

I have two tables and I'm trying to create a one to many relationship (master table can have many records in the details table)
I created a column in my details table with with ID of the primary key in the master table.
The primary key ID isn't inserted as a foreign key when I insert a record. I specifed the relationship in EM.
Not sure why the primary key ID isn't inserted as a foreign key into my details table?
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hey guys,
I would like to know what the following options means when we set a foreign key relationship between two tables and when to use them ( yes or no):
1- Check existing data on creation or Re-Enabling.
2- Enforce contraint for replication
3- Enforce foreing key contraint
Thx.

Hi i have two tables
X and Y
X is the Parent table and Y is the child
X has gpikey char(14) and Record type char(1) as Primary key
y has Name as primary key and column xgpi char(14) which should be the foreignkey to table X
what approach should i take to establish relationship between these two tables.
gpikey of recordtype 5 is equal to value in xgpi in table y
ex: data
Table X

I'm having trouble defining a relationship in SQL Express with a concatenated foreign key.
I have 3 tables. Date, Company and Detail
Date has a PK1
Company has a PK2
Detail has a concatenated foreign Key of PK1, PK2
When I go to set the foreign key relationship in Management Studio 'Tables and Columns', it seems I can only select 1 primary key table on the left for my 2 foreign keys. How can I add 2 primary key tables to point to each FK in my detail table?

I have to load data into destination table, it has foreign key relation to two different tables called person table and organization table . sample data to be loaded is like
person_id organization_id
1 Null
2 NULL
Null 1
null null
person table and organization table doesn't have null values in them, when I try to load this data none of them are laoded, I know either person_id or organization id having null value is failing foreign key constraint. But I want to transfer all the rows except the ones having both nulls. how this can be achieved ?

Should we have foreign key relationship between two slowly changing dimensions?
Most of the cases we talked about are about how to build an SLC, any example of trying to have two SLCs with FK relationship in a snow flake schema?

Hi all,
I use the following 3 sets of sql code in SQL Server Management Studio Express (SSMSE) to import the csv data/files to 3 dbo.Tables via CREATE TABLE & BUKL INSERT operations:
-- ImportCSVprojects.sql --
USE ChemDatabase
GO
CREATE TABLE Projects
(
ProjectID int,
ProjectName nvarchar(25),
LabName nvarchar(25)
);
BULK INSERT dbo.Projects
FROM 'c:myfileProjects.csv'
WITH
(
FIELDTERMINATOR = ',',
ROWTERMINATOR = ''
)
GO
=======================================
-- ImportCSVsamples.sql --
USE ChemDatabase
GO
CREATE TABLE Samples
(
SampleID int,
SampleName nvarchar(25),
Matrix nvarchar(25),
SampleType nvarchar(25),
ChemGroup nvarchar(25),
ProjectID int
);
BULK INSERT dbo.Samples
FROM 'c:myfileSamples.csv'
WITH
(
FIELDTERMINATOR = ',',
ROWTERMINATOR = ''
)
GO
=========================================
-- ImportCSVtestResult.sql --
USE ChemDatabase
GO
CREATE TABLE TestResults
(
AnalyteID int,
AnalyteName nvarchar(25),
Result decimal(9,3),
UnitForConc nvarchar(25),
SampleID int
);
BULK INSERT dbo.TestResults
FROM 'c:myfileLabTests.csv'
WITH
(
FIELDTERMINATOR = ',',
ROWTERMINATOR = ''
)
GO
========================================
The 3 csv files were successfully imported into the ChemDatabase of my SSMSE.
2 questions to ask:
(1) How can I designate the Primary and Foreign Keys to these 3 dbo Tables?
Should I do this "designate" thing after the 3 dbo Tables are done or during the "Importing" period?
(2) How can I set up the relationships among these 3 dbo Tables?
Please help and advise.
Thanks in advance,
Scott Chang

I have a problem with setting relations properly when inserting data using adonet. Already have searched for a solutions, still not finding a mistake...
Here's the sql management studio diagram :
and here goes the code1 DataSet ds = new DataSet();

3 SqlDataAdapter myCommand1 = new SqlDataAdapter("select * from SurveyTemplate", myConnection);
4 SqlCommandBuilder cb = new SqlCommandBuilder(myCommand1);
5 myCommand1.FillSchema(ds, SchemaType.Source);
6 DataTable pTable = ds.Tables["Table"];
7 pTable.TableName = "SurveyTemplate";
8 myCommand1.InsertCommand = cb.GetInsertCommand();
9 myCommand1.InsertCommand.Connection = myConnection;
10
11 SqlDataAdapter myCommand2 = new SqlDataAdapter("select * from Question", myConnection);

67 myCommand2.Update(ds, "Question");
68 myCommand3.Update(ds, "Possible_Answer");
69 ds.AcceptChanges();

and that causes (at line 67):"The INSERT statement conflicted with the FOREIGN KEY constraint

"ankietyzacja", table "dbo.SurveyTemplate", column

How can I create a one-to-one relationship in a SQL Server Management Studio Express Relationship diagram?
For example:
I have 2 tables, tbl1 and tbl2.
tbl1 has the following columns:
id {uniqueidentifier} as PK
name {nvarchar(50)}
tbl2 has the following columns:
id {uniqueidentifier} as PK
name {nvarchar(50)}
tbl1_id {uniqueidentifier} as FK linked to tbl1.id
If I drag and drop the tbl1.id column to tbl2 I end up with a one-to-many relationship. How do I create a one-to-one relationship instead?

I have four tables with relationships as shown. They have a circular relationship and so one of the relationships is forced to be inactive.
Operation (Commodity, OperationKey) ==========>
Commodity (Commodity)
/
/
|
|
Advice (OperationKey) ====== (inactive)=======>
Operation Commmodity (Commodity, OperationKey)
I have the following measure:
Advice No. Commodity:=CALCULATE (
COUNTROWS ( 'Advice' ),
USERELATIONSHIP(Advice[OperationKey],'Operation Commodity'[OperationKey]),
operation
)
However, the userelationship function does not override the active relationship between Operation & Advice and so the measure is limited to Advices directly filtered by the Operation table.
If I delete the relationship between Operation and Advice, then the measure works as expected i.e. Operation indirectly filters Operation Commodity which filters Advice.

Hello
I have need to write a query that I can pass in a bunch of filter criteria, and return 1 result....it's just ALL of the criteria must be matched and a row returned:
example:
Transaction table: id, reference
attribute table: attributeid, attribute
transactionAttribute: attributeid, transactionid
Example dat
Attribute table contains: 1 Red, 2 Blue, 3 Green
Transaction table contains: 1 one, 2 two, 3 three
transactionAttribute contains: (1,1), (1,2), (1,3), (2,3), (3,1)
If I pass in Red, Blue, Green - I need to be returned "one" only
If I pass in Red - I need to be returned "three" only
If I pass in Red, Green - nothing should be returned as it doesn't EXACTLY match the filter criteria
If anyone's able to help that would be wonderful!
Thanks, Paul

Can anyone provided insight on how to create a one-to-one relationship between
SQL tables? Every time I try to link two tables that should be one-to-one, the link says one-to-many.
How can I specify one-to-one when SQL Server automatically thinks it is a one-to-many?
Thanks,

Hi,Do you guys know what's wrong with a one-to-one relationship?The reason I want to make it like this is that at the very end of the chain,the set of keys is huge. I want to limit the number of columns to be thekey. i.e. the [company] table has 1 column as the key. The [employee]table will have 2 columns as the key.e,g,If I add a [sale] table to the [company]-[employee] relationship, the thirdtablewill have 3 columns as the key -- "company id", "employee id", and "saleid".(e.g.)I have a company with many employees and computers. But instead of classifyall these, I just want to call all these as an entity. A company is anentity. An employee is just another entity. etc.So, instead of a one-to-many:[company]---*[employee]---*[sale]||*[computer]I make it one-to-one.[entity]---*[entity]If I want to know the name and address of the entity "employee", I will havea 1-to-1 table [employee] to look up the information for this employeeentity.[entity]---*[entity]||[company]||[employee]||[computer]||[sale]--[color=blue]> There is no answer.> There has not been an answer.> There will not be an answer.> That IS the answer!> And I am screwed.> Deadline was due yesterday.>> There is no point to life.> THAT IS THE POINT.> And we are screwed.> We will run out of oil soon.[/color]

Hi.
I get this error when i try to create a relationship in a db diagram (sql 2005)
"'tblActivedir' table saved successfully
'tblClient' table
- Unable to create relationship 'FK_tblClient_tblActivedir1'.
Introducing FOREIGN KEY constraint 'FK_tblClient_tblActivedir1' on table 'tblClient' may cause cycles or multiple cascade paths. Specify ON DELETE NO ACTION or ON UPDATE NO ACTION, or modify other FOREIGN KEY constraints.
Could not create constraint. See previous errors."
What i have is 2 tables.
1 named client
1 named activedir
In the client table the columns i want to bind with activedirtable are FR1 and DC1
I want to bind them in the ID of the activedir table (both, in different fk relationships) so that they get the id of activedir.
Fr1 has an fk relationship with activedir (pk is activedir' id)
and DC1 exactly the same in another fk.
So i want both columns to comunicate with activedir.
If p.e. activedir has 3 elements (a,b,c) when i delete element a then werever FR1 or DC1 have this element(binded to it's id) then the element will also be deleted (id of the element) from both FR1 and DC1
I don't want to set Delete and Update action to none because i want the element changed or deleted from activedir, to do the same on Fr1 or DC1 or both.
Any help?
Thanks.

I am trying to create a 1:1 relationship, but not primary key to primary key. In table 1 I have a uniqueidentifier as a primary key. In table 2 I have an int as the primary key and a column that takes the uniqueidentifier from table 1. Everytime I drag and drop the relationship line and link table 1 to table 2 it creates a 1:N relationship: ie. tbl1.primarykey links to tbl2.column2. So I'm not linking primary key to primary key however I still want a 1:1 relationship.
How do I do that?
Thanks in advance.

SQLServer 2005 - I have two tables. One has a field defined as a Primary Unique Key. The other table has the same field, but the Index is defined as non-Unique, non-clustered. There is no primary key defined on the second table. I want to set up a one-to-many relationship between the two, but am not allowed.
This should be simple. What am I doing incorrectly?
