Hi,
I am DB programmer, How can i get Table Constraints to XML in SQL-Server 2000 with out data.
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.
How to copy a table from one server to another server with primary and foreign key constraints.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI 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????

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.

Hi,
I am new to MsSql. I want to know is there any command through which we can get all the consraints on a table or in a databases. In the same way how to get the all table names in a database from the coomand prompt or thorugh query analyzer.
Thanks
Hi all
Is there anyway you can deactivate/enable all constraints on a particular table so it can be done in a script?
Thanks.

Does anybody know how to query for the table constraints, indexes etc..
I believe there are sys tables that contain these but I'm not familiar with them any help would be appreciated.
This is an SQL Server 2000 question. Without having access to the "Design Table" option in the pop-up menu of a table, is there another way to see what constraints, indexes, primary key, etc. that a table has?
Thank you.
I'm trying to find a Stored procedure that will perform a complete table copy from the source to the target.
Anyone have one?
I remember once using a command in Query Analyser that gave me all theinformation about a table. It showed details about the columns,constraints, keys, indexes etc.I can't remember how I did this? Can anyone help me?It could of been a stored proc that I called or a query on the systemtables.I do know that it was very simple to do and it was executed in QueryAnalyser.Can anyone help me?
View 2 Replies View RelatedJust started learning SQL recently.But one thing i'm still not clear on is about altering relationships betweentables after they've been created.Instead of creating a foreign key when the table is first created - i createthe table and then run a query to set the foreign key and relationship(one-to-one, one-to-many etc)Anyways, long story short is i want to create a one-to-one relationship witha table but am having problems with adding more than one constraint at atime when altering a table.Understand yet? Easiest thing to do is show you:I have 2 tables: Branch_Table and Employee_TableI want to create a one-to-one relationship between emp_id on theBranch_Table and manager_id on the Employee_Table.The SQL i've written which doesn't seem to work is:ALTER TABLE Branch_TableAdd Constraint Branch_Table_FK1 FOREIGN KEY (manager_id)Add Constraint Branch_Table_UQ1 Unique (manager_id)References Employee_Table (emp_id));Am having trouble with that second Add constraint (UQ1 unique). I know it'ssomething to do with the Add syntax above.So basically, my question is can i create a one-to-one relationship withjust the one SQL Query? And how would i do it?Many thanks in advance.

Is it possible to define a constraint for Primary Key on more than 1 column or an alternate index on a column in a return table from an inline table valed function?
Example Header:
alter FUNCTION [dbo].[fntMetaFrame] (@ii_CompanyID int)
RETURNS @tbl_MetaFrame TABLE ( pk_Key int Identity(1,1) primary key,
ObjectID int ,
Seq int null )
I want the primary key to be pk_Key, ObjectID
OR
I want to add another index on ObjectID.
I need to script out data in several tables (30+) and then reload those tables on a different database. The "target" database table data will get overwritten each time, not appended to. Several of these tables have numerous foreign keys and other constraints that must be dealt with. None of them have more than 100 records or so. Then I need to keep this script in source control and reference it as part of a post-deployment step with a Visual Studio DB project.
I have redgate, dbghost and visual studio. Are there any tools will generate the script for me complete with dropping all the constraints, truncating the tables, then re-adding the constraints back? Or, am I looking at simply scripting the table data out, then modifying the script myself to add in the steps to drop/readd the constraints? Further, since some of these tables might have relationships, not just to other tables, but to those in question, there will likely be an order in which the tables need to get loaded.
The approach I am thinking will be needed, since ive done this sort of thing before except with SSIS, is to run something like dbghost or the "generate scripts" option in SSMS as a starting point. From there, change the order around as needed, etc.
I have removed all constraints of a table.I have a copy of the database as back up, now how can i add back the constraints to the removed table.

I am testing Insert, Update etc. and messing up my database with "dirty" data. Is there a way to temporarily drop FOREIGN KEY constraints to truncate a table after testing without dropping the whole table and rebuilding it?

Hey there,
Trying to build a temporary table based on a parent table such that:select * into #staging from tbl_parent where 1=0
The temp table (#staging) picks up any NOT NULL constraints from the parent (tbl_parent) table and frankly, it doesn't meet my needs.I also tried to build a view of the parent (tbl_parent) table from which to base my SELECT INTO and still, the constraints followed.
I'm thinking perhaps it possble to iterate though the temp table using syscolumns sysobjects and and set the column NULL properties on the temp table AFTER its been created but in this approach, I'm working to avoid directly referencing the columns by name.
Is this possible? A better answer perhaps?
Purpose of exercie is to populate a record in memory before it hits the table.I'll be constructing the record on the fly so that at first, I won't have all the fields to de-Null the columns.Also, I don't wish to lose the fact that some of my fields are Null - once I've fully populated my temp record, I'll insert into my 'real' table and will depend on constraints to throw the appropriate error. In this I won't have to built custom error checking in the stored procedure itself but instead depend on SQL SERVERS built capacity to the throw the error. This opens a bunch of possibilities for extensibility since if at a later date a constraint rule changes, one need only change the parent table definition rather than cracking open the stored procedure.
Thank you for reading and a big thanks to you for replying :)

How to delete records from multiple tables if main table’s entity is deleted as constraints is applied on all..There is this main table called Organization or TblOrganization.and this organization have branches which are in Brach table called tblBranch and this branch have multiple applications let say tblApplication and these application are used by multiple users called tblUsers.What I want is: when I delete the Organization All branches, application and users related to it must be deleted also.How I can apply that on a button click in asp.net web forms..Right now this is my delete function which is very simple

View 1 Replies View RelatedAn SSIS package to transfer data from a DB instance on SQL Server 2005 to SQL Server 2000 is extremely slow. The package uses an OLEDB Source to OLEDB Destination for data transfer which is basically one table from sql server 2005 to sql server 2000. The job takes 5 minutes to transfer about 400 rows at night when there is very little activity on the server. During the day the job almost always times out.
On SQL Server 200 instances the job ran in minutes in the old 2000 package.
Is there an alternative to this. Tranfer Objects task does not work as there is apparently a defect according to Microsoft. Please let me know if there is any other option other than using a Execute 2000 package task or using an ActiveX Script to read records from one source and to insert them into the destination source, which I am not certain how long it might take and how viable will that be?
Any inputs will be much appreciated.
Thanks,

Hello
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)

How can I get the table sizes for data and transaction logs just like we had in SQL Server 7.0 on the first screen of the Entreprise Manager?
I remember having a bar showing used space in blue and unused in magenta. I bet there are a couple of functions that can be added in a script that will retreive this info.

Hello friends,
Despiste what it is mentioned in B.O.L., in the Table SYSPROCESSES, the column KPID has almost always the value 0 !!!
If anyone knows how I can find the right link between a SPID and the corresponding KPID, I shoud be very happy to know to.
It concerns SQL SERVER 2000 under WINDOWS 2000 SP3.
Thanks in advance for any help about that ...
sql server 2000I am currently maintaining a table that contains 30 Million+ records,30 columns, and 11 indexes and will double within the next six mouths.The application that accesses this table, mainly for read onlypurposes, runs without any problems. We have begun using Crystalreports and are now having problems. When we create reports thataccesses the large table our server has significant performance dip.The application begins to time out and the reports take a very longtime, even with simple selects on indexed field.I have began looking into partitioning the large table on its key fieldand creating a partition view. But from what I have read this willonly help if we key on the partitioned field. And all other searcheswill actually take a little longer.Archiving old data is not an option. All the data is being usedAny suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.Rick
