SQL Server CE 3 Constraint Problem

Aug 17, 2006

SQL CE 3.0
I am trying to add constraints using SQL statements but get an error saying that the constraint would cause a cyclical reference. The same statements work with SSCE 2.0

Eg
CREATE TABLE A(pkA integer NOT NULL CONSTRAINT pkAx PRIMARY KEY);

CREATE TABLE B(pkB integer NOT NULL CONSTRAINT pkBx PRIMARY KEY,
pkA integer NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT fkBA FOREIGN KEY (pkA) REFERENCES A(pkA) ON DELETE CASCADE ON UPDATE CASCADE);

CREATE TABLE C(pkA integer NOT NULL, pkB integer NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT fkCA FOREIGN KEY (pkA) REFERENCES A(pkA) ON DELETE CASCADE ON UPDATE CASCADE,
CONSTRAINT fkCB FOREIGN KEY (pkB) REFERENCES B(pkB) ON DELETE CASCADE ON UPDATE CASCADE);

I dont see that the foreign keys should cause a cyclical reference problem.

I have also tried not having the ON UPDATE DELETE on one of the Constraints on Table 3.

Any ideas anyone would be appreciated.

Named Constraint Is Not Supported For This Type Of Constraint (not Null)

May 13, 2008

Hi, all.

I am trying to create table with following SQL script:





Code Snippet

create table Projects(
ID smallint identity (0, 1) constraint PK_Projects primary key,
Name nvarchar (255) constraint NN_Prj_Name not null,
Creator nvarchar (255),
CreateDate datetime
);

When I execute this script I get following error message:

Error source: SQL Server Compact ADO.NET Data Provider
Error message: Named Constraint is not supported for this type of constraint. [ Constraint Name = NN_Prj_Name ]

I looked in the SQL Server Books Online and saw following:

CREATE TABLE (SQL Server Compact)
...
< column_constraint > ::= [ CONSTRAINT constraint_name ] { [ NULL | NOT NULL ] | [ PRIMARY KEY | UNIQUE ] | REFERENCES ref_table [ ( ref_column ) ] [ ON DELETE { CASCADE | NO ACTION } ] [ ON UPDATE { CASCADE | NO ACTION } ]

As I understand according to documentation named constraints should be supported, however error message says opposite. I can rephrase SQL script by removing named constraint.





Code Snippet

create table Projects(
ID smallint identity (0, 1) constraint PK_Projects primary key,
Name nvarchar (255) not null,
Creator nvarchar (255),
CreateDate datetime
);
This script executes correctly, however I want named constraints and this does not satisfy me.

Unique Constraint Error When There Is No Constraint

May 13, 2008

We are using SQL CE 3.5 on tablet PCs, that synchs with our host SQL 2005 Server using Microsoft Synchronization Services. On the tablets, when inserting a record, we get the following error:
A duplicate value cannot be inserted into a unique index. [ Table name = refRegTitle,Constraint name = PK_refRegTitle
But the only PK on this table is RegTitleID.

The table structure is:
[RegTitleID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[RegTitleNumber] [int] NOT NULL,
[RegTitleDescription] [varchar](200) NOT NULL,
[FacilityTypeID] [int] NOT NULL,
[Active] [bit] NOT NULL,

The problem occurs when a Title Number is inserted and a record with that number already exists. There is no unique constraint on Title Number.
Has anyone else experienced this?

How To Tell SQL Server To Use The Default Constraint Name When Adding One?

Oct 26, 2005

Hi guys,

I have this problem. I want to add a new primary key to a table but i want the name of the contstraint to be generated by the system. I have this TSQL code.


ALTER TABLE TableTest
ADD CONSTRAINT PRIMARY KEY (C1)


Reading the BOL, it says that if you don't supply a name for the constraint it generates one. But I get this error "Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'PRIMARY'".

If I add a name to the constraint, it works fine.
I'm using SQL Server 2000

Thanks
Darkneon

Constraint Expression In SQL Server 2005 IDE

Mar 20, 2007

I was trying to enter a constraint expression into the dialog box. I have three fields of the data type "bit". I want to make sure that of the three, only one equals "1". Using the documentation I found in Books Online, I attempted to use the following expression, but it would not validate.

(expert == 1 && supplier == 0 && employee == 0) || (expert == 0 && supplier == 1 && employee == 0) || (expert == 0 && supplier == 0 && employee == 1)

Can someone please assist me in getting this corrected?

Does SQL Server Check For Constraint Violation When COMMIT Is Called?

Oct 27, 2007

If there are two different transactions, both of which update the username column to 'xyz' for userid = 234 in 'Users' table. This is a unique value for username.  Ater this update each transaction adds a row to 'AppLog' table. The transaction is only committed after second operation.
The 'username' column has a unique constraint on it.
If transaction isolation level is 'read committed', and both transaction execute the first operation when neither of the transactions have been committed, then the transaction that calls COMMIT later will error out or not? If COMMIT does not check constraints then it will NOT error out. As a result we will have a violation of unique constraint happening without any error being thrown by SQL Server.

SQL Server 2008 :: Check Constraint On Group Of Records?

May 25, 2015

I have groups of records in a table, and I would like to set a necessary condition on each group. The condition is that EXACTLY ONE of the records in each group has a flag field set to True (bit = 1). I can naturally write triggers for update, insert and delete events that test for such a condition.

Something along the lines of this condition:

(select count(ClovekAutoID)
from TableOfClovekNames tCN
where JeHlavni = 1
group by ClovekAutoID
having COUNT(JeHlavni ) > 1) = 1In fact,

I tried this just on whim, but naturally, the SS engine told me to go roll my hoop, that subqueries are not allowed in constraint expressions.

SQL Server 2008 :: Snapshot Replication Not Copying Constraint Key?

Oct 27, 2015

We have a domain joined SQL 2008 R2 server performing a snapshot database replication to a non-domain joined SQL 2008 R2 server. The snapshot replication is working with one exception. Under one of the tables, there is a Key, Constraint and Index that are part of the database. The Key and Indexes is copying over. However, the constraint is not. Why would the Key and Index copy but not the Constraint?

Integrity Constraint Error On SQL Server Column With No Constraints

Aug 6, 2007

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

Thanks,
Chris

SQL Server 2005; Unique Constraint, Covering Index Question

Aug 9, 2006

Hi,

When I create a unique constraint, SQL Server automatically creates an index on this constraint. So when I run the following...

ALTER TABLE PersonsProjects
WITH NOCHECK ADD CONSTRAINT NoDupes UNIQUE NONCLUSTERED (PersonID, ProjectID)

...SQL Server will create a composite index on PersonsProjects called NoDupes on PersonIDand ProjectID. Thing is, I need this index to include a third column Status since most queries use this column in conjunction with PersonID and ProjectID. If there was no index on this table, I would have created it as follows:

CREATE UNIQUE INDEX NoDupes ON PersonsProjects (PersonID, ProjectID) INCLUDE (Status) WITH IGNORE_DUP_KEY

But this won't enforce the unique constraint on PersonID and ProjectID when performing inserts and updates. Is there any way of creating a unique constraint with an included column?

I would rather not have two indexes...

NoDupes: PersonID,ProjectID

New Index: PersonID,ProjectID INCLUDE Status

...so I'm trying to determine what other options that might be available...please advise.

Thanks much.

Help-Constraint

May 29, 2001

Hi,
I am trying to figure out how to do this.
For each row, only one out of two columns(id1,id2) should be populated. So if the id1 column is already populated and the application tries to fill in something for id2 then we just simply don't want to allow that and vice versa.

I am thinking triggers is the way to go. What do you think?
thanks
Rozina

Constraint Help

Nov 15, 2007

Hi, i want to put a contraint on a table which much check agains two values in the same column for the same member.


For example, i don't want a male to get information based on breast cancer, and i don't want a female to get information based on prostate cancer.

I have included some sample data. Just copy and paste.



Code Block

DECLARE @MemberLookupValues TABLE (OptionID INT, ValueID INT, Description VARCHAR(20))
INSERT @MemberLookupValues VALUES (3, 10, 'Male')
INSERT @MemberLookupValues VALUES (3, 11, 'Female')
INSERT @MemberLookupValues VALUES (7, 69, 'Prostate Cancer')
INSERT @MemberLookupValues VALUES (7, 70, 'Breast Cancer')

DECLARE @MemberValues TABLE (MemberID INT, OptionID INT, ValueID INT)
INSERT @MemberValues VALUES (1, 3, 10)
INSERT @MemberValues VALUES (1, 7, 69)
INSERT @MemberValues VALUES (1, 7, 70)
INSERT @MemberValues VALUES (2, 3, 11)
INSERT @MemberValues VALUES (2, 7, 69)

SELECT * FROM @MemberLookupValues
SELECT * FROM @MemberValues






I've highlighted the values that must be stopped.

So the basic check would be, IF OptionID = 3 AND ValueID = 10 then it must not allow you to insert the values OptionID = 7 AND ValueID = 70

I hope that makes sense.

Any help will be greatly appreciated, if you need any more informaiton then just ask,

Kind Regards
