I created a job to check the integrity of my databases every week using SQL Server Maintenance Plan Wizard.
The job is failing every time...
For tb_basico database it works fine, but with the other one (tb_cep) it doesn't work...
Does someone have an idea to solve this problem?
The message is:
[1] Database tb_basico: Check Data and Index Linkage...

Error information: NativeError: 28549 HRESULT: -2147217873 Message: OrdersHeader,Delete,{0503BF00-BB05-11C6-8000-36BC4ADEE342} Description: The row update or insert cannot be reapplied due to an integrity violation. Server side: SQL Server 2000 or MSDE Client side: SQL Server CE or SQL Mobile
This error is usually caused because of an error on the filters. But not in this case, i think. I assume it's not a filter error because if I delete the SDF and run the sync it works.
The error occurs when I delete some rows in the server (parent(OrdersHeader) and child(OrderLines) tables) and the PocketPC stills have this rows. On the next synchronization It seems that replication process tries to delete the OrdersHeader rows before the OrderLines rows.
Is there any way to control the synchronization updating order? Or Is there any know issue about this?
It doesn't occur always but it occurs often. And I still haven't found the way to replicate the error.
I tried to do the merge replication between SQL 2000 database and the SQL mobile server on PDA with SQL server management studio from SQL 2005 and I have already successfully synchronized my PDA with one small SQL server database file. However when I tried to synchronized my PDA with another larger SQL server database file, I got the error on PDA as following: €œThe row operation cannot be reapplied due to an integrity violation. Check the publication filter. [Table = AuditCriterion, operation = Insert, RowGuid = {1ee9321d-f00d-410c-8d5b-08d4220d2627}]€?. I have keep checking the size of sdf file during synchronization, I found after the size of the sdf file stop increasing for about 20 mintues, then I got the error above. Morever, AuditCriterion table have a foreign key with another table AuditElement and I have not used publication filter at this stage.
I met a very strange problem recently. I set up a database integrity check maintenance plan. But this job failed every time. I looked into the logs, the error message was that Databases that have a compatibility level of 70 (SQL Server version 7.0) will be skipped. I used the sp_helpdb to check the version of the databases included in my maintenance plan. The sp result shows that all the databases are above version 80....
Even more strange, i can successfully run the dbcc check query on each database.
Any comment and suggestion will be very appreciated.
I have created a simple package to load an Excel Spreadsheet into a SQL Server table. There is a one to one relationship between the columns in the .xls file and the columns in the DB record. I am getting integrity constraint errors when I try to load all numeric data from the spreadsheet (defined as Category General in excel, not defined as numeric but consisting of all numeric characters) into a column defined as (nvarchar(20), not null) in SQL Server Management Studio. There are no constraints on the column.
I have been able to temporarily bypass the offending rows, but I do need to load them into SQL Server. The problem column has a mixture of data, two examples would be: N255, 168050. It's the 168050 value that's causing the Task to bomb. How can I get this loaded into my table ?
I am running the package from within MS Visual Studio 2005 Version 8, Excel is version 2003 (11.8120.8122) SP2
Using the new referential integrity constraints that will be made available, will it allow us to manually define the relationships between entities even if there is no true foreign key constraints setup in the database?
Lets say we deleted the FK_Orders_Customers in Northwind between orders and customers.
create table person( personId int identity(1,1) primary key, fName varchar(25) not null, mI char(1) null, lName varchar(25) not null );
create table student( studentId char(4) not null primary key, personId int not null );
alter table student add constraint fk_person_student foreign key (personId) references person (personId) ;
create table instructor( instructorId char(4) not null primary key, instructorQual varchar(100) not null, personId int not null );
alter table instructor add constraint fk_person_instructor foreign key (personId) references person (personId) ;
create table contract( contractNum int identity(1,1) primary key, contractDate smalldatetime not null, tuition money not null, studentId char(4) not null foreign key references student (studentId), contactId int not null foreign key references contact (contactId) );
create table contact( contactId int not null primary key, fName varchar(25) not null, mI char(1) null, lName varchar(25) not null, street varchar(50) not null, city varchar(25) not null, state char(2) not null, zip char(5) not null, relationship varchar(25) not null, phNum char(12) not null, emailAdd varchar(50) null, );
create table class( classNum char(4) not null primary key, className varchar(25) not null, classDay char(3) not null, classTime char(8) not null, testNum char(5) not null );
alter table class add constraint fk_class_testnum foreign key (testNum) references test (testNum) ;
create table discount( discountNum char(3) primary key, discountDesc varchar(100) not null, discountPer decimal(3,2) not null );
create table test( testNum char(5) primary key, testName varchar(50) not null, testDate smalldatetime not null, testFee money not null, );
create table studentClass( studentId char(4) not null, classNum char(4) not null, pass char(1) not null );
Where should tests for data integrity be done, a few examples:
Inserting data but the underlying data has changed?
Adding data, say an order item row, but since going to that screen the order (and as a result all its order items as well) have been deleted?
It's just I'm starting to see even the simplest of stored procedures as being quite complicated. What puzzles me is a I see lots of INSERT stored procedures with none of this checking in, or returning error codes?
I having a problem importing a text file into an existing table using the DTS import wizard. The problem I am having is, I am getting an error message stating: Integrity violation: attempt to insert null data or data which violates constraints. The column the error is referenced to is an identity field and I am not trying to insert any data into the field. I have the allow insert identity box checked in the transformation section. Does anyone know about how to solve this problem. Thanks James
On weekends I have Integrity Checks scheduled to run. Many of these fail for individual databases because users do not log off and the databases cannot be switched to single user mode.
I have checked Books-on-line and have not yet stumbled onto a TSQL command that breaks the connections.
Is there a TSQL command to do this? If not, how can these connections be broken?
I used to work with little databases and throw everything into a table with no relation, and modify them all individually. Now I've learned about referential integrity, makes things a lot easier.
My question is, now what? Say I have a Customers table and an Orders table (to keep it simple). If custID is the primary key in customers, foreign key in orders, then if I want to insert into Orders, I need the custID. So those kinds of things I need to keep stored in a session state and insert them like that, correct?
Is there a way of finding the foreign keys for a table and therefore determine weather any referential integrity rules would be broken if a record was deleted?
For example. You have an author you want to delete, but that author has books. You call a procedure to delete the author. The stored procedure checks the foriegn keys, checks the tables and determines what is in them and if any tables have records that would be "orphaned" you return an error reporting what tables have the "would be orphaned" data in them.
It need to be fairly generic int he manner that it checks the foreign keys and the sub table data.
This is on behalf of a guy at work so "requirements" may change. ;)
hi guys, i was asked to drop some tables...but before dropping i was asked to check for referential integrity.. so where and how can i check this referential integrity????
Hihow to set the referential integrity between 2 tables using enterprisemanager (microsoft SQL SERVER).. i tried and the tab doesn't allow meto choose. pls.help.thankssree--chavasreedharMessage posted via http://www.exforsys.com for all your training needs.
Hi,What methods can we use to check the integrity problems? Some records in mydatabase are having Foreign Keys but the database doesn't have any relatedrecords with required Primary Keys. I need to scan the whole database anddelete (maybe with backup, maybe not) all wrong records.Who can I do that? Is it need to write my own application to do that or wehave some standard way to fix these problems? I'm not a databaseadministrator and don't know these ways (yet). Can somebody help me withadvice?Thanks.Dmitri Shvetsov
How can I make sure that a couple of commands are either all executed on the database or none of them. For example right now I have an insert, update and delete command. I'm calling each of them with a SqlCommand. So I am afraid that that one of them might be executed, then there's a bad connection and the other two are not. How can I prevent this so that only all commands or nothing is executed on the database?
I have a few databases on this Windows 2000 Server running SQL 2000 which were detached from SQL 7.0 and attached to SQL 2000. The problem is the Maintenance Plans (Integrity Checks keep failing on SQL 2000. I 'DTS'ed a SQL 7.0 database to this SQL 2000 server and ran the Maintenance Plans on that database. Works fine only for the DTS'ed database. What am I missing ??? :confused:
I'm not sure about the way you enforce the referential integrity in a SQL server 6.5 database (I'm new to this environment). Does any one have an exemple. The doc I have is useless...Thanks
Hello, I had a DB Maintenance plan, the schedule is every day, but today I found teh 'Integrity checks job is failed". What is that mean? How to check this. Thanks.
I have Daily User DB Integrity Checks job running daily From past 2 days i am getting below error.
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]CHECKDB found 0 allocation errors and 35 consistency errors in table 'Prod_Hist' (object ID 2098106515).

create table TableMain ( RowID int primary key identity(1, 1) , ItemTypeID tinyint NOT NULL , Details varchar(200) NOT NULL ) go
create table TableDetails ( DetailRowID int primary key identity(1, 1) , RowID int NOT NULL , ItemTypeID tinyint NOT NULL , Details varchar(200) NOT NULL
) go
create table ItemTypes ( ItemTypeID tinyint primary key identity(1, 1) , Details varchar(50) NOT NULL ) go
create unique nonclustered index IX_TableMain__ItemTypeID__RowID on TableMain (ItemTypeID, RowID) go
alter table TableDetails add constraint FK_TableDetails_TableMain__RowID__ItemTypeID foreign key (ItemTypeID, RowID) references TableMain(ItemTypeID, RowID); go
alter table TableMain add constraint FK_TableMain_ItemTypes__ItemTypeID foreign key (ItemTypeID) references ItemTypes(ItemTypeID); go
/* drop table TableDetails drop table TableMain drop table ItemTypes */
As you can see TableDetails references TableMain by ItemTypeID and RowID. TableMain also has a foreign key on ItemTypeID.
In this example although there is no references between TableDetails and ItemTypes on ItemTypeID field, referential integrity is still maintain because of the foreign key on TableMain (ItemTypeID, RowID)
So here is my question. Although referential integrity is maintain with this structure, would you guys still create a foreign key on TableDetails (ItemTypeID), i.e.:
alter table TableDetails add constraint FK_TableDetails_ItemTypes__ItemTypeID foreign key (ItemTypeID) references ItemTypes(ItemTypeID); go
There might not be any right or wrong, it might be a personal preference sort of thing. To me it seems performance wise it's better to not create this extra contraints since it doesn't add any additional integrity, on the other hand when looking at a DB schema this extra constraint might help understanding what's going on. Also perhaps it helps SQL Server in picking the right execution plan but that I am not sure.
Perhaps the solution is to create the constraint with a NOCHECK on it... is it?
I have a database in the 3rd normalized form. There is a need to load rows into a child table. To avoid having to drop RI, an ALTER TABLE WITH NOCHECK is being used. I am looking for a way to verify the integrity after the load is complete. After the load an ALTER TABLE WITH CHECK will be executed. Can I used DBCC to verify, that no orphaned child rows were loaded? If so, which parms would I have to use with DBCC?
I am fairly new to SQL, so I have a few questions that may sound odd. First of all, I am trying to restrict users to putting in a three character code as an id item, or their team abbreviation. Here is the table definition:
CREATE TABLE TEAMS{ city varchar(20) NOT NULL, name varchar(20) NOT NULL, id varchar(3) NOT NULL};
Here is my code for adding the constraint
ALTER TABLE TEAMS ADD CONSTRAINT Chk_id CHECK (id = `[A-Z][A-Z][A-Z]`);
Here is the error that I get when trying to execute this statement:
Msg 547, Level 16, State 0, Line 1 ALTER TABLE statement conflicted with COLUMN CHECK constraint 'Chk_id'. The conflict occurred in database 'statbookdb', table 'cabateams', column 'id'.
I am using SQL 2005 EM if this makes any difference.
My other question is in regards to once the constraints have been put in. Is there a way to make SQL throw a message out when a user violates a constraint? Right now, I have a numerical constraint in and whenever I violate it, all that happens is a "This page cannot be displayed" error. It doesn't make sense if you can only do this on the front end, as I don't see the point in enforcing it on the backend if there is no way to notify the user.
im having a bit of a problem displaying the integrity constraints i have set. I need to show the table name, contraint name and contraint type, but i cant find out how to do this anywhere.
im trying to set up maintenance plan for the check database integrity...
In sql 2000 you get a nice little log in SQL Logs DBCC CHECKDB (WSS_Search_db3) executed by xxx found 0 errors and repaired 0 errors. Elapsed time: 0 hours 0 minutes 1 seconds.
But in SQL 2005 Im not getting a nice log of this but getting it against some system database and not the database i selected
Date1/22/2008 5:19:43 PM LogSQL Server (Current - 1/22/2008 5:19:00 PM) Sourcespid84 Message DBCC CHECKDB (mssqlsystemresource) WITH no_infomsgs executed by XXX found 0 errors and repaired 0 errors. Elapsed time: 0 hours 0 minutes 1 seconds.
Anyone got this to work? Trying to get the same message i got for SQL 2000 or at least so i can confirm it ran.
I'm using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express 9.00.2047.00and expriencing problems with setting referential integrity on a linktable. The tables' schema is as follows:-------------------------------------------------------------------CREATE TABLE competencies (CID bigint identity(1,1) CONSTRAINT pk_CID PRIMARY KEY,LockedBy bigint DEFAULT 0 NOT NULLCONSTRAINT fk_UserIDREFERENCES usr_info(userID)ON DELETE SET DEFAULTON UPDATE CASCADE)---------------------------------------------------------CREATE TABLE usr_info (userID bigint IDENTITY(0,1) CONSTRAINT pk_UID PRIMARY KEY,ActiveFlag bit default 0 NOT NULL, --(1='Yes', 0='No')FirstName varchar(100) default '' NOT NULL,LastName varchar(100) default '' NOT NULL)-------------------------------------------------------CREATE TABLE competency_hdr (fkCID bigint default 0 NOT NULLCONSTRAINT fkCID_chREFERENCES competencies(CID)ON DELETE CASCADEON UPDATE CASCADE,ApprovedBy bigint default 0 NOT NULLCONSTRAINT fkUserID_chREFERENCES usr_info(userID)ON DELETE SET DEFAULT -- NO delete if user is deletedON UPDATE CASCADE)--------------------------------------------------------When I execute the above I get the following error message.Msg 1785, Level 16, State 0, Line 1Introducing FOREIGN KEY constraint 'fkUserID_ch' on table'competency_hdr' may cause cycles or multiple cascade paths. SpecifyON DELETE NO ACTION or ON UPDATE NO ACTION, or modify other FOREIGNKEY constraints.Msg 1750, Level 16, State 0, Line 1Could not create constraint. See previous errors.Now, if i swap the fields around then the error message changes tothat of the fkCID field.Basically what I want is:when I delete a competency record I need all references to this recordto be deleted.when I delete a user I want to set the foreign key to zero (the recordmust remain on the database).Obviously there is something I'm missing here. Any advice, anyone?---------------------------------------------------------------Join Bytes! : Remove your pants to reply---------------------------------------------------------------
