HI I'm newbie in sql server and I am looking how to define a constraint between two tables that are located each in a different schema. I have tried from the Enterprise Manager but without look, could you please help me with this,
thank you
I know this is probably a flick of a switch but I cannot figure out which switch. Setup is SQL Server / Stored Procedures / DAL / BLL(skipped for testing) / PL. The stored procedure queries from only one table and two columns are ignored because they are being phased out. I can run the stored procedure and preview the data in the DAL but when I create a page with an ODS linked to the DAL and a GridView I get this error. I checked every column that does not allow nulls and they all have values. I checked unique columns (ID is the only unique and is Identity=Yes in the table definition). I checked foreign-key columns for values that are not in the foreign table and there are none. Any ideas why do I get this?
Failed to enable constraints. One or more rows contain values violating non-null, unique, or foreign-key constraints.
Hi,
I am getting the above error when trying to load a report into my Web Application, I have tracked the error down to one specific field in my database. Even though this field is a NVarChar field and is of size 30 it would seem that there is an issue returning the value from the field. I can write it into the database no problems but when I try to get it out of the database it returns the above error.
e.g
MOB 401.908.804 - Fails
0401.907.324 - okay
8239 9082 (pager) - fails
Anyone got an idea on how to fix this????
Regards..
Peter.
i have a question about constraints in SQL server.
i have three tables:
Client
---------
clientID
name
etc...
Bank
-------
BankID (a virtual number, identity)
ClientID (FK: Client)
BankAccountNumber
BankName
Order
--------
OrderID
ClientID
BankID
a Client an have one or more bankAccounts.. if he place an order, he can select wich bankaccount will be used to pay.
how do i have to set the constraints so that the bankAccount in Order, is allways of THAT client in order.???
Thanx...

Hi,
I am DB programmer, How can i get Table Constraints to XML in SQL-Server 2000 with out data.
Is there any way to defer constriants in sql server 2005? I have found some sites that say use the keyword deferred but that always give me an "Incorrect syntax near 'deferred' "error.

I have four tables as xml. I'm successfully bulk loading them into 4 tables, using the SQL Server Destination, with check constraints unchecked.
The process manages to load all the data without any FK issue.
After that, how can I check the constraints ? (I've read a bit about is_not_trusted and sys.check_constraints)

When updating data using .NET 2.0 SqlDataAdapter and a strong typed dataset, it seems that constraints (foreign key) and trigger are disabled. I'm using a stored procedure to delete rows and calling it from SSMS causes the trigger to fire. Calling it via the SqlDataAdapter not.
Can someone confirm this?
At least here, my triggers don't fire.
How can I enable, that triggers in SQL Server do fire?
Are there differences in this behaviour when using batch updates or not?
TIA,

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,

Hi all,
Suppose I have set a CHECK constraint to a column where Salary field is not permitted to be less than 1000 or greater than 10000.
In this situation, when I insert a new record with salary as 10, using a stored procedure from Visual Studio, how will I trap the error from C# Code?
Thanks

I have table variable in which I am inserting data from sql server database. I have made one of the columns called repaidID a primary key so that a clustered index will be created on the table variable. When I run the stored procedure used to insert the data. I have this error message; Violation of Primary key Constraint. Cannot insert duplicate primary key in object. The value that is causing this error is (128503).
I have queried the repaidid 128503 in the database to see if it is a duplicate but could not find any duplicate. The repaidID is a unique id normally use by my company and does not have duplicates.
Any tool, script, procedure, or otherwise that will solve this problem?
CREATE TABLE [Table 1] (
Id varchar,
TableTwoId varchar,
OtherData varchar )
CREATE TABLE [Table 2] (
Id varchar,
MoreData varchar )
What is the link between these two tables?
I have databases that have zero keys defined, no foreign key constraints, no unique value constraints. I cannot assume that an Identity column is the Id. The end game is be able to output that [Table 1].[TableTwoId] = [Table 2].[Id] but cannot assume that all linkage in the database will be as simple as saying "if the field name contains a table name + Id then it is the Id in that table."
Currently have written a script that will cycle through all columns and start identifying keys in singular tables based on the distinctness of the values in each column (i.e. Column1 is 99% distinct so is the unique value). It will also combine columns if the linkage is the combination of one or more columns from Table 1 = the same number of columns in Table 2. This takes a long time, and it somewhat unreliable as IDENTITY columns may seem to relate to one another when they don't.

I'm working on creating a new version of an existing table. I want to keep the old table around, only with a different name. In looking this up I found there's a system routine named sp_rename, which looks like it will work fine.However in thinking about this I realized that the foreign key constraints defined on the table (there's 3 of them) are likely to not be renamed, correct?
If I'm correct, then I suppose I could rename the table, then drop the 3 foreign key constraints, and create them new using different names for those foreign key constraints.

I am using the "Transfer SQL Server Objects Task" to copy some tables from database A to database B including data.
The tables, primary key constraints, Foreign key, data and all transfers nicely except for "DEFAULT CONSTRAINTS" on the tables.
I have failed to find any option in the "Transfer SQL Server Objects Task" task to explicitly say "copy default constraints". So I guess logically it should happen automatically but it doesn't. I hope it is not a bug :-)
Any option anyone knows will help.
Thanks.
I'm using MS SQL 2000 with enterprise manager I have a customers table called high_customer, it has a primary key called IDI have an invoices table called high_invoices, it has no primary keys but it does have a column for customer ID.I want to set it so if a customer is deleted from the customers table, any invoices with that customerID are deleted from the invoices table.Do I need to specify a constraint? If so how do I do it in enterprise manager.Thanks
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi,
I have the following problem:
I have a table called Jobs with the fields:
JobNumber, Name, Customer, ...
And a table called Customers with the fields:
ID, Name, Address, ...
Obviously Jobs is linked to Customers with the Customer<->ID fields. I want to set it up so that if a Customer is deleted, then any Jobs that had that customer listed now have the Customer field set to NULL. Can I do this with a constraint, or will I need to use a trigger?
Cheers,Little'un

I am fairly new at SQL and also new to this forum. So I don't know if this topic belongs here or not.
But anyways, I found this tutorial online. However, I am having trouble completing it. Can someone please help me?
Given the following table definitions:
CREATE TABLE USERS
(
USERID CHAR(5) PRIMARY KEY,
NAME VARCHAR(30),
RATING CHAR(1) CHECK (RATING IN (A, B,C,D)
)
CREATE TABLE ITEMS
(
ITEM_NO NUMBER PRIMARY KEY,
DESCRIPTION VARCHAR(50),
OFFERED_BY CHAR(5) REFERENCES USERS(USERID) ON UPDATE CASCADE ON DELETE CASCADE,
START_DATE DATETIME,
END_DATE DATETIME,
RESERVE_PRICE NUMBER
)
CREATE TABLE BIDS
(
USERID CHAR(5) REFERENCES USERS ON UPDATE CASCADE ON DELETE SET NULL,
ITEMNO NUMBER REFERENCES ITEMS(ITEM_NO) ON UPDATE CASCADE ON DELETE CASCADE,
BID NUMBER,
BID_DATE DATETIME,
PRIMARY KEY(USERID,ITEMNO,BID_DATE)
)
Directions: Indicate whether the statement is accepted or rejected; and if accepted indicate its effects. Evaluate each statement INDEPENDENTLY.
1) INSERT INTO ITEMS VALUES(1009, Red Bicycle,U01,1999-01-08, 1999-02-10, 30)
2) UPDATE ITEMS SET ITEMNO=1008 where ITEMNO=1001
3) DELETE FROM ITEMS WHERE ITEMNO=1005
4) INSERT INTO ITEMS VALUES(1010, Green Bicycle,U07,1999-01-08, 1999-02-10, 30)
5) UPDATE BIDS SET ITEMNO=1011 WHERE ITEMNO = 1001
6) DELETE FROM USERS WHERE USERID=U01
7) UPDATE ITEMS SET ITEMNO=1020 WHERE ITEMNO=1001
8) DELETE FROM BIDS WHERE BID > 1001
Thanks. I would greatly appreciate your help.
My table structure is something like this :
ORDER_ITEM (OrderSK, ItemNumber, Qty, ServiceSK, UnitPrice)
SERVICE (ServiceSK, Description, UnitPrice)
How could I modify the database structure to enforce the data constraint that ORDER_ITEM.UnitPrice must be equal to SERVICE.UnitPrice for the corresponding service.
I have to change someones username in my database in a couple of tables. When I try to make any changes, I get an error that there is a constraint. Is there a way to make the changes without removing all the constraints then replacing them?
Thanks
Hi,
Just getting into scripting sql. I have a little script that adds and drops a default value for a column. But I cannot get it to run when the column already has a default value specified. If I didn't script the contraint and specify a name I have no name to specify when trying to drop it.
ALTER TABLE users ADD CONSTRAINT dev1 DEFAULT 1 FOR ns_email_flag
ALTER TABLE users DROP CONSTRAINT dev1
How do I remove any existing default values using script?
TIA,
Seoras.
How does one know what a particular trigger or constraint is supposed to be doing on a table. I am just two days old on this position, and no form of documentation, at the same time I am expected to trouble-shoot some error messages. Thanks for your help.
View 3 Replies View RelatedWhen I first set up my database, I set it up with many unique constraints, but not much in the way if indexes. After reading more about the benefits of indexes, I'm thinking of deleting many of the unique constraints, and replacing them with unique indexes where appropriate.
It seems that indexes would be better than unique constraints in many cases, because you have the double benefit of enforcing uniqueness, as well as improving sorting capability. Does this make sense?
Hi folks,
Wonder if I'm onto something....everything I've read says that to drop foreign key constraints, you have to drop/recreate the table.
I've been able to dynamically create the ALTER TABLE statements for all FK constraints in a database. The way I did was a little convoluted (Access 97 linked tables and pass-through queries, cut/paste from the debug window to SQL7 QA), but it does work. More importantly, it saves the hassle of dropping/recreating tables....Someone with more expertise than I in using nested cursors could probably convert it to pure T-SQL pretty easily.
Just curious...opinions? Be glad to post the code here if that's appropriate.

How do i create a check constraints on column a so it dose not accept $ character? syntax pls.
Thanks
Can anyone recommend a good article/book on the subject? I am trying to find out more about compound primary keys. How many is “too many”? Does the number of primary key columns affect your performance? If so, how does it affect it? Should some of the constraints be handled from stored procedures?
Any response is greatly appreciated.
:cool:
