Problems Creating Second Relationship To The Same Table
Apr 6, 2007
I have two tables: ads and categories. I have an existing relationship: categories.id (PK) and ads.categoryid (FK). Now I want to create additional relationship with categories.id (PK) on ads.SecondCategoryID (FK). When I try to save it in SQL Manager I get the following error:
- Unable to create relationship 'FK_classifieds_Ads_classifieds_Categories2'.
The ALTER TABLE statement conflicted with the FOREIGN KEY constraint "FK_classifieds_Ads_classifieds_Categories2". The conflict occurred in database "mydb", table "dbo.classifieds_Categories", column 'Id'.

Okay, I've tried to follow MSND instructions on creating a many-to-many relationships using the SSMS. I can create the two primary tables and create the PK for each. I can create a cross-reference table with two PKs. Now I am trying to create the one-to-many relationships for each primary tables and I can't seem to get it right. SSMS complains iff I attempt to make the relationships on either side (primary tables or xref table)
I used these steps from MS.
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa176955(SQL.80).aspx
When I do a seach on this, I get no new links for SQL Server 2005.
Can someone throw me a link?
Thank you!

Ok, if I have a table (Title_Author) that has the ISBN and Au_ID (author id) and I want to make sure that the Titles table ISBN column has a PK/FK relationship with the Title_Author table, I should be able to create a relationship to (just) the ISBN column. No? Well, the CONSTRAINT x FOREIGN KEY clause says it's an invalid relationship.
Ideas?

I am very new to SQL Server and to S.S. 2005. I am trying to create a relationship using a database diagram. I keep getting this error:
'tblCASEMAST' table saved successfully
'tblCASECHRG' table
- Unable to create relationship 'FK_tblCASECHRG_tblCASEMAST'.
The ALTER TABLE statement conflicted with the FOREIGN KEY constraint "FK_tblCASECHRG_tblCASEMAST". The conflict occurred in database "Criminal Records", table "dbo.tblCASEMAST", column 'CASENO'.
In tblCASEMAST, CASENO is nvarchar, length of 12 and a primary key
In tblCASECHRG, the column I am trying to link to is also nvarchar, length of 12
Any help is appreciated.

Hi guys,
I'm testing some stuff. I have two tables, table1 has a primary key and table2 only has a column. When I try to create a relationship between them, SQL Server complains.
Here's my code:
Alter Table Table1
Add Constraint FK_T1 Foreign Key (T1) References Table2(T1)
And the error:
There are no primary or candidate keys in the referenced table 'Table2' that match the referencing column list in the foreign key 'FK_T1'.
Thanks

Hi, all experts here,
Thank you very much for your kind attention.
I am trying to create a new mining structure with case table and nested table, the case table (fact table) has alread defined the relationships with the nested table(dimension table), and I can see their relationship from the data source view. But why the wizard for creating the new mining structure showed that message? Why is that? And what could I try to fix it?
Hope it is clear for your help.
Thanks a lot for your kind advices and I am looking forward to hearing from you shortly.
With best regards,
Yours sincerely,

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 created some SQL 2005 tables using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio. I need to get the script code of those tables. I was able to do that by right clicking over each table. But how can I get the code for the relationships between the tables? Can't I create relationships between two tables by using T-SQL? Thanks, Miguel

Hi I have two tables:
1.) Operator-OperatorID{PK, int, not null}-OperatorName{varchar(100), not null}-Enabled{bit, not null}-PasswordChange{bit, not null}-BirthDate{datetime, not null}
2.) Password-PasswordID{PK, int, not null}-Password{varchar(50), not null}-ExpirationDate{datetime, not null}
I'm not sure how to design and layout these two tables. The layout of these two tables is completely flexible as the application has not been deployed. I'm open to any good suggestions.
For each Operator I want to stored up to 3 previous passwords plus their current password. The password change field is so that if the operator's password expires or gets reset, they will be forced to enter a new password. This is a simple internal company application, so password encrypting is not necessary. The ExpirationDate indicates the date that the password will expire.
Hope to hear from someone soon! Thank you!

Hello,
I have 3 tables: Articles, ArticlesTags and Tags.
ArticleTags relate Articles and Tags records.
When I try to delete a record in Tags I get the following error:
The DELETE statement conflicted with the REFERENCE constraint
"FK_ArticlesTags_Tags". The conflict occurred in database "MyDB", table "dbo.ArticlesTags", column 'TagID'.
The statement has been terminated.
What am I doing wrong?
Here is how I am creating my tables:
create table dbo.Articles
(
ArticleID uniqueidentifier not null
constraint PK_Article primary key clustered,
Body nvarchar(max) not null
)
create table dbo.ArticlesTags
(
ArticleID uniqueidentifier not null,
TagID uniqueidentifier not null,
constraint PK_ArticlesTags
primary key clustered (ArticleID, TagID),
constraint FK_ArticlesTags_Articles
foreign key(ArticleID)
references dbo.Articles(ArticleID)
on delete cascade,
constraint FK_ArticlesTags_Tags
foreign key(TagID)
references dbo.Tags(TagID)
)
create table dbo.Tags
(
TagID uniqueidentifier not null
constraint PK_Tag primary key clustered,
[Name] nvarchar(200) not null
)
Basically, what I need is:
1. If an Article is deleted then:
> Delete all records for that Article in ArticlesTags
> Don't delete any Tag in Tags.
2. If an Tag is deleted then:
> Delete all records associated with it in ArticlesTags.
> Don't delete any Article in Articles.
What am I missing?
Thanks,
Miguel

I
have 3 tables I am trying to relate for a music player. I was
following the example in the msdn however, my relationships do not seem
right. Here are tables i want to relate:
Table 1:
ArtistID
ArtistName:
Table 2:
RecordingID
RecordingName
ArtistID
Table 3:
TrackID
TrackName
TrackNumber
TrackLocation
RecordingID
So
the main idea here is that the foreign keys are recordingId and
artistID. So what i did is created the 3 tables and then make a
diagram to create the relationships. I then was reading this post:
http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=219696&SiteID=1
What
i want to do is use 2 different text boxes lets say and as i move from
the records in the Record_table (2) the corresponding artist will
change with it. However in the dataset the relationship looks like
this:
Artist -> Recording -> Track.... inorder for me to get
this relationship to work correctly i have to change all the
relationships in the dataset diagram. This way the dataset would look
like this: Track -> Recording ->Artist. This way i can use the
2 bindings to reference each other as stated in the link above. why
doesnt the relationship of the database know this already? why do i
have to change the relationship in the datasets.

I am using tables with recursive relationships extensively. For example the table tbComponent has a primary key called Co_ID and a foreign key called Co_Co_ID which references the field Co_ID. This allows a component to have unlimited child components, and each child component can have an unlimited number of tiers of children. I have a few question for which I have seen no documentation on.
1. How can I create a view or a SP that will return a component record and all of its children and children's children records down to the last/lowest child record?
2. I need to be able to do a search in this table. Example:
Table: tbComponent
Columns: Co_ID Integer
Co_Co_ID Integer
Co_Name Text
Co_Attribute Text
Co_Category Text
Note: the data for Co_Category comes from a lookup table with also has a recursive relationship to itself where a category can have an unlimited number of tiers of children categories.
A typical group of records could be something like this:
Co_ID Co_Co_ID Co_Name Co_Attribute Co_Category
1 1 Car Blue Ford
2 1 Body Steel Parts
3 2 Door Front Parts
4 3 Invoice April 1 1999 Accounting
Ok, say there is over a million records in this table. Say I want to query this table and return all of the invoices for cars between March 1 1999 and May 1 1999. Say for example that there are less records where Co_Name has a value of Car then there are records with a value of Invoice, so logically I would set some kind of criteria to limit only invoices with where Co_Name = "Car". That's easy, I can return a result set of all the records Where Co_Name = "Car" and I can hold these in a view or a temp table. Now I need to query this View or temp table and see if it has any children records records Where Co_Name = "Invoice" . The problem is that the Invoice child could be a child record directly under the "Car" record, or 10 levels of children records down. The logic for this would be:
If Co_Name = "Car" Then Select * Where Co_Co_ID = 1, then take all of those record's values in Co_ID and run another statement Where Co_Co_ID = X and so on until there are no more children to search. If any of those records have a value of Invoice in Co_Name then return them.
Please don't give any speeches on Normal Relationship Database design suggesting a typical design using something like a Car table, a parts table, and a invoice table. I used the example above to demonstrate the dynamics of doing a search on a recursive relationship. I understand relationship theory and a recursive relationship is what we need to use in our situation.
Thanks for any and all input!

I am fairly new to SQL and I am currently trying to createa SQL table (using Microsoft SQL) that has a recursiverelationship, let me try to explain:I have a piece of Data let's call it "Item" wich may again contain onemore "Items". Now how would I design a set of SQL Tables that arecapable of storing this information?I tried the following two approaches:1.) create a Table "Item" with Column "ItemID" as primary key, somecolums for the Data an Item can store and a Column "ParentItemID". Iset a foreign key for ParentItemID wich links to the primarykey"ItemID" of the same table.2.) create separate Table "Item_ParentItem" that storesItemID-ParentItemID-pairs. Each column has a foreign key linked toprimary key of the "Item" Column "ItemID".In both approaches when I try to delete an Item I get an Exceptionsaying that the DELETE command could not be executed because itviolates a COLUMN REFERENCE constraint. The goal behind these FK_PKrelations is is that when an Item gets deleted, all childItems shouldautomatically be deleted recursively.How is this "standard-problem" usually solved in sql? Or do I inned toimplement the recursive deletion myself using storedprocedures or something ?

unqiue index (UserID_A,UserID_B)
but I wish to exclude duplicated rows like 1,1,2 & 2,2,1,
cause UserA to UserB, and UserB to UserA are the same thing.

I am having challenge to update the redemption table from the multiple card activation table. I want to update the redemption table with the activation date closest to the redeem date.
For example: Redeem date 20071223, I need to update the top row Date, Year, Period fields from the Card activation table.
Redeem date 20071228, I want to refer to the second row in the Card activation table date 20071228.
Redeem date 20080316 or later, I want to use the last row in the card activation table date 20080316.
How to modify the update query to select the right activation row accordingly?

It combines 2 chains of keys into one table to try and make a unique record.
The problem is that it is not.

As you can see certain data is getting duplicated in this tabel.
I want 1 Unique record in the OU table based upon the Study ID Primary Key and the zCombined Primary Key.
Any Ideas as to what is wrong, or how to make it work would defineatly be appreciated.

I am designing a database schema where several tables have one-to-many relationships to records in other tables. One way to implement it is to create a link table for each pair of tables that have a relationship:
identity
Table1_ID
Table2_ID
1
12
9
2
12
15
3
18
42With the SQL 2005 support for the XML data type, there is the possibility of storing the IDs in an XML column. The XML stored with a record (equivalent to record 12 from the above example) might look like this:
<Links>
<Table2_LinkType>
<ID>9</ID>
<ID>15</ID>
</Table2_LinkType>
<Table8_LinkType>
. . .
</Table8_LinkType>
</Links>The XML column method has the advantage of not requiring that a separate table be created but does not enforce referential integrity. The link table method has the advantage of allowing constraints to enforce referential integrity but has the disadvantage of requiring the creation of a separate table for each pair of tables having a relationship and joining to an additional table has performance implications. Implementing standard Add, List and Delete operations for the link table method is straightforward. As a test and to familiarize myself with the new XML features, I created Set, List and Delete stored procedures for the XML method. Both methods will work.
In deciding which method to go with are there any other issues I should be considering besides database integrity, complexity and possible performance issues?
From the standpoint of best practices and coding standards is one method preferred over the other?
Here is some additional information. The data set I will be working with has table sizes numbering in the hundreds of thousands. Any given record will only be linked to at most a half-dozen records in any other table.
I searched on-line for information and I was able to find plenty of good articles discussing how to use the new XML data type in SQL. However, I was not able to find any information on when not to use the XML data type over equivalent joined-table methods.

I'm using SQL Server 2012. I've 2 databases one is CopyDatabase and other is PasteDatabase.
CopyDatabase has 2 tables with relationship to each other, and the PasteDatabase is empty. I want to Export Data from CopyDatabase to PasteDatabase. If I do that, it does work but I came to realize that it destroys the relationship between these 2 tables.
Same is for the Import, in case of PasteDatabase. How to maintain the relationship between them while moving the tables.
