Cannot INSERT Data To 3 Tables Linked With Relationship (INSERT Statement Conflicted With The FOREIGN KEY Constraint Error)
Apr 9, 2007Hello
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();
2
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);
12 cb = new SqlCommandBuilder(myCommand2);
13 myCommand2.FillSchema(ds, SchemaType.Source);
14 pTable = ds.Tables["Table"];
15 pTable.TableName = "Question";
16 myCommand2.InsertCommand = cb.GetInsertCommand();
17 myCommand2.InsertCommand.Connection = myConnection;
18
19 SqlDataAdapter myCommand3 = new SqlDataAdapter("select * from Possible_Answer", myConnection);
20 cb = new SqlCommandBuilder(myCommand3);

25 myCommand3.InsertCommand.Connection = myConnection;
26
27 ds.Relations.Add(new DataRelation("FK_Question_SurveyTemplate", ds.Tables["SurveyTemplate"].Columns["id"], ds.Tables["Question"].Columns["surveyTemplateID"]));
28 ds.Relations.Add(new DataRelation("FK_Possible_Answer_Question", ds.Tables["Question"].Columns["id"], ds.Tables["Possible_Answer"].Columns["questionID"]));
29
30 DataRow dr = ds.Tables["SurveyTemplate"].NewRow();
31 dr["name"] = o[0];
32 dr["description"] = o[1];
33 dr["active"] = 1;
34 ds.Tables["SurveyTemplate"].Rows.Add(dr);
35
36 DataRow dr1 = ds.Tables["Question"].NewRow();
37 dr1["questionIndex"] = 1;
38 dr1["questionContent"] = "q1";
39 dr1.SetParentRow(dr);

62 dr2["answerContent"] = "a22";
63 dr2.SetParentRow(dr1);
64 ds.Tables["Possible_Answer"].Rows.Add(dr2);
65
66 myCommand1.Update(ds,"SurveyTemplate");
67 myCommand2.Update(ds, "Question");
68 myCommand3.Update(ds, "Possible_Answer");
69 ds.AcceptChanges();
70
and that causes (at line 67):"The INSERT statement conflicted with the FOREIGN KEY constraint
"FK_Question_SurveyTemplate". The conflict occurred in database
"ankietyzacja", table "dbo.SurveyTemplate", column
'id'.

Data Insert In Tables
May 8, 2008I have timecard records need to be inserted into the EMP_TC table automatically. This job should run every day to create EMP_TC records for the full current month for any ASSIGNMENT_ID€™s where ASGNMT_END_DATE is either null or greater than the run date of this job and PRD_START_DATE is in the current run month.
PRD_START_DATE is always Sunday, PRD_END_DATE is always Saturday. For example, if an employee starts a new project on 4/8/2008, the first timecard record in EMP_TIMECARD for that EMP_ASGNMT_ID should be 4/6/2008 €“ 4/12/2008. If PRD_END_DATE is null then the job would populate the following 4 records for the EMP_ASGNMT_ID:
i have currently stored procedure doing this but i had to specify the dates manually .how could i automate this process.
i can avoid stored procedures needed but i am really confused on what logic to apply to it.
We need to pick the assigment id and dates automatically from employment assignment table.
Assignment id is nothinb but a identity coloum please advise

Getting Random Locks On Convert And Bulk Insert Task

Also transaction option is set to Not Supported.
What could be causing the lock?

Insert Data In Multiple Tables
Apr 27, 2007Hi there!!! Trying to figure something out, I have searched this forum but no answer to my dilemma.
I have three tables on a database that I have to insert new data and update the old one. The structure of the tables is like this:
Table1
custid int primary key,identity
fname varchar(30)
lname varchar(30)
Table2
fileid int primary key, identity
ssn varchar(11)
custid int foreign key
Table3
statusid int primary key,identity
title varchar(18)
fileid int foreign key
This is very general but that's the idea. Now I receive a text file with the necessary info, I've already parse and break down the file into the correct fields.
Now for my question, how I insert the relevant data onto the tables from this one parsed file? and also how I go about inserting the primary keys from the different tables onto the foreign keys of each tables?
I tried relationships and key indexes, but it just spew a bunch of errors, that I'm investigating.
Any ideas, pointers, tuts, something I'm missing?
BTW I'm using sql 2005 express and VB.net
Thanks in advance for any help.

Need To Insert Data Into 2 Tables, Relational Having Problems
Mar 7, 2007Ok, I have a page on my website where we can add products to our database. We are a music store, and most products have different versions or colors. I've created 2 tables, Products and Subproducts. The products table may hold info like Fender Stratocaster, and the subproducts would hold colors (Blue, Sunburst, etc). The subproducts table has an integer field called MainProductID, which is linked to the mainproducts table field RecordID. So far the page uses a wizard where if first creates the main product using an sql datasource. After the data has been added to the main products table, my page gives you the opportunity to add different sub products. The problem I am having is actually feeding in the RecordID from the main products table to my insert parameter on the sub products data source. This is what I have tried so far: There is a formview on the page that is bound to the main products table, after the entry is created I can physically see the info on my screen, so I know the data is there at my disposal SubProductsDataSource.InsertParameters.Add("@MainProductID", Formview1.datakey.item("RecordID"))SubProductsDataSource.Insert()Using this adds the data to the table, but the MainProductID is nullalso is there a cheap little way to refresh a page, because when I upload the product images I have it go to the next step where you are supposed to be able to see the images you uploaded, I don't see them which makes me think that the page is loading faster than the images are uploading. Thanks

How To Update Stats Of Tables When Insert Data Into It

Once we insert say some 1000 records in to a particular table the query time takes too long (more than 1 min). The same query executes faster once i manually update the stats.

Insert Data Into Parent And Then Child Tables
Nov 16, 2006hello -
i am trying to figure out how i can create an SSIS package to insert into multiple tables. After the first insert, I want to take the ID created (an Identity column) and then use that to insert into other associated (foreign key) tables.
For example, I have a table Users. The primary key is an Identity column. Once the SSIS insert is complete, the bulk load of new users has an identity ID value for each row. What I want to do, during the same SSIS package, is to take each row as it is inserted and add rows to other tables. Like, UserDepartment - it has a foreign key for the user id and a foreign key to the department being added. And, as part of this I will need to get the latest ID value and possibly some other values and store them in variables.
I looked at multi-cast, but I don't know/think that this will work for me.
does anyone know of a good example or article like this?
thanks

Random Error 513 Insert Or Update Conflicts With Previous Create Rule
Jan 4, 2007Hello,
I use ODBC driver to perform SQLServer commands from C/C++ application.
An "INSERT INTO <table> (<column>) VALUES (NULL)" command has a random behavior in a SQL2000 Server running on WindowsXP.
The <column> in this command has 2 definitions about the NULL value :
- the NULL is accepted in the table definition, with <column> ut_oui_non NULL".
- the NULL is rejected in the type definition, with EXEC sp_addtype ut_oui_non, 'char(1)', 'NOT NULL' and a rule to check values with '0' or '1'
1/ The column definition in any explorer show the NULL from table deffinition
2/ The "INSERT INTO" is completed in SQL Query tool, used on Windows2000 and WindowsXP computers, connected to the same SQL2000 server.
3/ The "INSERT INTO" is completed in the application, running on Windows2000 with an ODBC driver to the same SQL2000 server.
4/ The "INSERT INTO" is rejected in the application, running on WindowsXP witjh an ODBC driver to the same SQL2000 server. The error 513 means that INSERT VALUES conflicts with previous rule. So only the type definition seems to be used.
But :
5/ This is a random error, and some INSERT with the same values in this column are completed.
6/ This random error seems to be discarded by using the "Use NULLs, paddings and warnings ANSI" checkbox in the ODBC driver user source configuration.
This checkbox is only use for enforcing the ANSI syntax in SQL commands, and has no known effect on type checking.
Do you know about any conflict of column NULL value between a type definition and a table definition ?

Insert, Update && Delete On Two Tables With Same Data Structure...
Jun 30, 2006I have created two table with same data structure. I need realtime effects (i.e. data) on both tables - Table1 & Table2.
Following Points to Consider.
1. Both tables are in the same database.
2. Table1 is using for data entry & I wants the same data in the Table2.
3. If any row insert, update & delete occers on Table1, the same effect should be done on Table2.
4. I need real time data insert, update & delete on Table2.
I knew that using triggers it could be possible, I have successfully created a trigger for inserting new rows (using logical table "Inserted") in Table2 but not succeed for update & delete yet.
I want to understand how can I impletement this successfully without any ambiguity.
I have attached data structure for tables. Thanx...
Merge Data From Two Tables Into One Table - No Updates/only Insert
Sep 10, 2007
Hi all,,
I posted the questions in sql forum and got good sql statement to work with it.. However, I want to see if there is a way to do it in SSIS..
May be this is really basic questions but I am having hard time to do it in sql server 2005 SSIS..
I have a flat file that I want to merge with table in SQL server 2005.
1> I have successfully created a data flow task to import data from flat file to Table X (new table I created for this package).
Now here is my question.
I have a Table A already in the database with the same column structure as of TableX (Both the tables have 20 columns/same Name/Same design).
I want to merge Table A and Table X and stored the data in TableA. However, I just don't want to merge blindly, I need to insert a new row in Table A only if the same row does not exist in Table A (there is no primary key, i am looking certain fields to see if the rows are same)..
Here is an example:
Table A
--------------
1 test test1 test2 test3 test4 test5
2 test test6 test7 test8 test9 test10
Table X
------------
1 test test1 test2 test99 test4 test5
2 test test98 test97 test 96 test95 test94
--------------------------------------------------------
Now, I want to only insert row 2 of Table X since there is match on 4 of the fields in row1..
The new Table A should look like
NEW Table A'
-----------------
test test1 test2 test3 test4 test5
test test6 test7 test8 test9 test10
test test98 test97 test 96 test95 test94
------------------------------------
I think, I could do this using Execute SQL task and write all the code in sql, but that will be cumbersome and time consuming.. Is there a simpler way to achieve this?
Thanks in advance.

Create Tables And Insert Data In Sql Server Mobile On Dekstop
Mar 2, 2006Hello (sorry my bad english, im brazilian)
I was using Visual Studio 2003 and SQL Server CE 2.0 for C# mobile applications. The .sdf database were created in the emulator or in the mobile device itself using Query Analizer.
The application developed need some initial data to run, and this data is obtained executing one service that reads a postgree database, and insert the data in the SQL CE database of the mobile device. But, given the size of the database (maybe 10.000 rows), it tooks too much time (sometimes 6 hours).
Now we are migrating to Visual Studio 2005 and SQL Server 2005 Mobile Edition.
I want to know if its possible to create the .sdf database and load the data into this database on the desktop. Maybe through the execution of a .sql script, or through a service executed on the desktop.
After this, its just upload de .sdf file to the mobile device.
Thanks

Insert Data From Flat File Into Serveral DB Tables Having Many-to-many Relations
Nov 4, 2007Hi everyone,
I am new to SSIS and I thought maybe someone would give me tips for solving the problem I am facing.
Overview:
I want to insert data contained in a flat file into several DB tables, which have N-M relations.
For illustration, I would explain the problem on a very simple DB:
1. The database contains the following 3 tables:
EMPLOYEE (EMP_ID, EMP_NAME)
PROJECT (PROJ_ID, PROJ_NAME)
EMP_PROJ (EMP_ID, PROJ_ID) , where EMP_ID and PROJ_ID are foreign keys referencing records in the EMPLOYEE and PROJECT tables respectively.
2. Each entry in the falt file contains the following data:
EMP_ID, EMP_NAME, PROJ_ID, PROJ_NAME
3. In SSIS, I have created a Data Flow Task containing:
- a path from a Falt File Source to an SQL Server Destination (Table: Employee)
- a path from a Falt File Source to an SQL Server Destination (Table: Project)
- a path from a Falt File Source to an SQL Server Destination (Table: Emp_proj)
Note: I used SQL Server Destination, because I need to import a huge amount of data and I read that this component performs better than the OLE DB Destination!
Questions:
1. I would like to eliminate EMP_ID and PROJ_ID from the Flat File Source. Instead, I would like these fields to be generated automatically upon insertion.
a. How can I do this and propagate the generated key among the different paths, which I have explained previously?
b. Can I first generate the two keys somehow then the parallel insertions into the different tables should start using the generated keys?
2. Is my solution correct in the first place? Or is there another better way for inserting data which belong to N-N relations?
Thanks in adavance,
Samar
