Creating Indexes On Columns That Are Foreign Keys To Primary Keys Of Other Tables

Jul 16, 2014

what the best practice is for creating indexes on columns that are foreign keys to the primary keys of other tables. For example:

[Schools] [Students]
---------------- -----------------
| SchoolId PK|<-. | StudentId PK|
| SchoolName | '--| SchoolId |
---------------- | StudentName |
-----------------

The foreign key above is as:

ALTER TABLE [Students] WITH CHECK ADD CONSTRAINT [FK_Students_Schools]
FOREIGN KEY([SchoolId]) REFERENCES [Schools] ([SchoolId])

What kind of index would ensure best performance for INSERTs/UPDATEs, so that SQL Server can most efficiently check the FK constraints? Would it be simply:

CREATE INDEX IX_Students_SchlId ON Students (SchoolId)
Or
CREATE INDEX IX_Students_SchlId ON Students (SchoolId, StudentId)

In other words, what's best practice for adding an index which best supports a Foreign Key constraint?

Trying To Find Non Identity Primary Keys

Jan 26, 2006

This ain't working

SELECT T.TABLE_NAME,C.COLUMN_NAME
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES T
JOIN INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS C
ON T.TABLE_NAME = C.TABLE_NAME
WHERE OBJECTPROPERTY(OBJECT_ID(T.TABLE_NAME),
'TableHasIdentity') = 0
AND T.TABLE_TYPE = 'BASE TABLE'
AND OBJECTPROPERTY(OBJECT_ID(C.COLUMN_NAME),'IsPrimary Key') = 1
ORDER BY T.TABLE_NAME,C.COLUMN_NAME

This is giving me bogus results...

SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS
WHERE OBJECTPROPERTY(OBJECT_ID(COLUMN_NAME),'IsPrimaryKe y') = 1

I have PK's all over the place. What gives? Too many cocktails with lunch?

Trying To Find Tabes Without Primary Keys

May 29, 2008

I wrote a query that when run, will give me a listing of all tables in a database, and whether or not those table have primary keys.

Here's the query:




Code Snippet
select so.name, si.name from sysobjects so
left outer JOIN sysindexes si on so.id = si.id
where si.status = '2066' and so.type = 'u'
order by so.name asc


It works for the most part save for one small (big) problem. It gives me a list of tables that have a corresponding primary key, but doesn't list those without one. For example, in one database I run this query. I know for a fact that there are 26 tables in this database, and my query returns 16 rows (one for each table with a PK). I'd like to see those as well as those without one, with a NULL in the NAME column for the PK.

I've tried every join combo under the sun and still can't get the desired results.

Any insight would be appreciated!

Thanks!

Transact SQL :: Find Column ADRSCODE Used In Indexes Or Primary Keys?

Auto Incremented Integer Primary Keys Vs Varchar Primary Keys

Aug 13, 2007

Hi,

I have recently been looking at a database and wondered if anyone can tell me what the advantages are supporting a unique collumn, which can essentially be seen as the primary key, with an identity seed integer primary key.

For example:

id [unique integer auto incremented primary key - not null],
ClientCode [unique index varchar - not null],
name [varchar null],
surname [varchar null]

isn't it just better to use ClientCode as the primary key straight of because when one references the above table, it can be done easier with the ClientCode since you dont have to do a lookup on the ClientCode everytime.

Regards
Mike

How To List Tables With Primary Keys

Jun 9, 2007

Hello,We imported a bunch of tables from a database and realized that theprimary keys weren't copied to the destination db. In order to re-create the keys, we need to know which tables have them. Is there acommand that I can use (on the source db) to find out which tablescontain primary keys? The db has hundreds of tables and I'd rather notgo through each one to see which has a primary key.Also, for future reference, is there a way to include the primary keyon an import?Thanks,Peps

Primary Keys And Joining Tables

Aug 24, 2015

I've created a table called Employees with a primary key called EmployeeID.  The table contains EmployeeID, FirstName and LastName columns.  I now want to create a table called Team which will contain the columns TeamID, EmployeeID (to reference the column EmployeeID from the Employee table) and a column called TeamName.  Sql won't let me create multiple primary keys in one table (I did think that was the case ) key but yet if I look at the Adventure Works database in the Person.PersonPhone table, I can see three primary keys defined.

Correct Way Of Finding A Tables Primary Keys??

Aug 7, 2007

Hope this is in the right thread, sorry if not!

I have run into a problem, i need to find out that column(s) in a table that makes the primary key.
I thought that this code did the trick.
***
DECLARE @c varchar(4000), @t varchar(128)
SET @c = ''
SET @t='contact_pmc_contact_relations'
Select @c = @c + c.name + ',' FROM syscolumns c INNER JOIN sysobjects o ON o.id = c.id inner join sysindexkeys k on o.id = k.id WHERE o.name = @t and k.colid = c.colid ORDER BY c.colid
SELECT Substring(@c, 1, Datalength(@c) - 1)
***

This works in most of my cases. But i have encounterd tabels where this code doesn't work.
Here is a dump from one of the tabels where it doesn't work.
SELECT *
FROM sysindexkeys
WHERE (id = 933578364) <--id of the table
***
id indid colid keyno
933578364 1 1 1
933578364 1 2 2
933578364 2 1 1
933578364 3 2 1
933578364 4 3 1
933578364 5 4 1
933578364 6 5 1
933578364 7 6 1
933578364 8 7 1

Not sure if that dump made any sense, but i hope it did.
If i look at the table in SQL Enterprise manager there is no relations, no indexes only my primarykey made up with 2 columns (column id 1 and 2).

So, anyone know how i could solve this problem?


Regards
/Anders

Import Csv Data To Dbo.Tables Via CREATE TABLE &&amp; BUKL INSERT:How To Designate The Primary-Foreign Keys &&amp; Set Up Relationship?

Jan 28, 2008

Hi all,

I use the following 3 sets of sql code in SQL Server Management Studio Express (SSMSE) to import the csv data/files to 3 dbo.Tables via CREATE TABLE & BUKL INSERT operations:

-- ImportCSVprojects.sql --

USE ChemDatabase

GO

CREATE TABLE Projects

(

ProjectID int,

ProjectName nvarchar(25),

LabName nvarchar(25)

);

BULK INSERT dbo.Projects

FROM 'c:myfileProjects.csv'

WITH

(

FIELDTERMINATOR = ',',

ROWTERMINATOR = ''

)

GO
=======================================
-- ImportCSVsamples.sql --

USE ChemDatabase

GO

CREATE TABLE Samples

(

SampleID int,

SampleName nvarchar(25),

Matrix nvarchar(25),

SampleType nvarchar(25),

ChemGroup nvarchar(25),

ProjectID int

);

BULK INSERT dbo.Samples

FROM 'c:myfileSamples.csv'

WITH

(

FIELDTERMINATOR = ',',

ROWTERMINATOR = ''

)

GO
=========================================
-- ImportCSVtestResult.sql --

USE ChemDatabase

GO

CREATE TABLE TestResults

(

AnalyteID int,

AnalyteName nvarchar(25),

Result decimal(9,3),

UnitForConc nvarchar(25),

SampleID int

);

BULK INSERT dbo.TestResults

FROM 'c:myfileLabTests.csv'

WITH

(

FIELDTERMINATOR = ',',

ROWTERMINATOR = ''

)

GO

========================================
The 3 csv files were successfully imported into the ChemDatabase of my SSMSE.

2 questions to ask:
(1) How can I designate the Primary and Foreign Keys to these 3 dbo Tables?
Should I do this "designate" thing after the 3 dbo Tables are done or during the "Importing" period?
(2) How can I set up the relationships among these 3 dbo Tables?

Please help and advise.

Thanks in advance,
Scott Chang

Creating Inter-table Relationships Using Primary Keys/Foreign Keys Problem

Apr 11, 2006

Hello again,

I'm going through my tables and rewriting them so that I can create relationship-based constraints and create foreign keys among my tables. I didn't have a problem with a few of the tables but I seem to have come across a slightly confusing hiccup.

Here's the query for my Classes table:

Code:

CREATE TABLE Classes
(
class_id
INT
IDENTITY
PRIMARY KEY
NOT NULL,

teacher_id
INT
NOT NULL,

class_title
VARCHAR(50)
NOT NULL,

class_grade
SMALLINT
NOT NULL
DEFAULT 6,

class_tardies
SMALLINT
NOT NULL
DEFAULT 0,

class_absences
SMALLINT
NOT NULL
DEFAULT 0,

CONSTRAINT Teacher_instructs_ClassFKIndex1 FOREIGN KEY (teacher_id)
REFERENCES Users (user_id)
)

This statement runs without problems and I Create the relationship with my Users table just fine, having renamed it to teacher_id. I have a 1:n relationship between users and tables AND an n:m relationship because a user can be a student or a teacher, the difference is one field, user_type, which denotes what type of user a person is. In any case, the relationship that's 1:n from users to classes is that of the teacher instructing the class. The problem exists when I run my query for the intermediary table between the class and the gradebook:

Code:

CREATE TABLE Classes_have_Grades
(
class_id
INT
PRIMARY KEY
NOT NULL,

teacher_id
INT
NOT NULL,

grade_id
INT
NOT NULL,

CONSTRAINT Grades_for_ClassesFKIndex1 FOREIGN KEY (grade_id)
REFERENCES Grades (grade_id),

CONSTRAINT Classes_have_gradesFKIndex2 FOREIGN KEY (class_id, teacher_id)
REFERENCES Classes (class_id, teacher_id)
)

Query Analyzer spits out: Quote: Originally Posted by Query Analyzer There are no primary or candidate keys in the referenced table 'Classes' that match the referencing column list in the foreign key 'Classes_have_gradesFKIndex2'. Now, I know in SQL Server 2000 you can only have one primary key. Does that mean I can have a multi-columned Primary key (which is in fact what I would like) or does that mean that just one field can be a primary key and that a table can have only the one primary key?

In addition, what is a "candidate" key? Will making the other fields "Candidate" keys solve my problem?

Thank you for your assistance.

SQL Server 2012 :: Find Queries That Lock Tables Or Not Using Primary Key While Running Update

Jul 20, 2015

I need to search for such SPs in my database in which the queries for update a table contains where clause which uses non primary key while updating rows in table.

If employee table have empId as primary key and an Update query is using empName in where clause to update employee record then such SP should be listed. so there would be hundreds of tables with their primary key and thousands of SPs in a database. How can I find them where the "where" clause is using some other column than its primary key.

If there is any other hint or query to identify such queries that lock tables, I only found the above few queries that are not using primary key in where clause.

Primary Keys

Apr 4, 2001

If a table has a column defined as Int, Identity(1,1) which is to be used as the primary key, should that index be defined as clustered or non-clustered? In Enterprise manager when you create a PK on a table it defaults to being a clustered index. I am sure the answer depends on the other index requirements and columns in the table but I'd like to see what other ppl think about this.

Thanks!

Two Primary Keys

In access you can have two fields that are primary keys with one or the other repeating as long as the combination is not repeated.
i.e.
key1 key2

200410 12346
200410 12588
etc for all 200410 there can not be a repeat of any value of key 2
