UPDATE Problem With Foreign Key Constraints
Feb 9, 2004
I have a table that I want to run an UPDATE statement to change some data in the table, but I get this error:
Server: Msg 547, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
UPDATE statement conflicted with COLUMN FOREIGN KEY constraint 'FK__Yield__Financial_Product__ProductCode'. The conflict occurred in database 'lsmdb', table 'Financial_Product', column 'ProductCode'.
The statement has been terminated.
How do I update the ProductCode column in both tables to reflect my updated data?
Thanks in advance.

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 two tables, T1 and T2.T1 has a foreign Key that refers to a key in T2.The way that I see it, its only possible to insert something into T1 ifthere already exists a tuple in T2 with the same value in key.That means that I always have to insert something into T2 before insertinginto T1Is that correct?

When following a script to create some tables and constraints, it is recommended that you name the FK constraint? Otherwise it appears with numbers after it. Is this the way 2005 creates them or has this always been the naming convention?

I want to disable foreign key constraints en mass. Is there a way to do this?
I know that I can go into each table and navigate to the Relationship tab of Properties and uncheck the "Enforce relationship for INSERTs and UPDATEs" box, but I'd much prefer to automate this process with a query since there are 160+ tables and probably 200+ relationships to disable.
I figure that sysconstraints my be the ticket, but I will keep experimenting until I get the right solution. In the meantime, any insight to steer me in the right direction is appreciated.

Hi All,
I know that when you specify a PRIMARY KEY or UNIQUE constraint for a table, SQL Server creates a unique index for the primary key columns.
What about foreign keys? Does SQL Server creates an index when you create a foreign key?
I have looked in Books Online and on the Internet, but couldn't find any information.
Thanks in advance.

I've recently implemented a whole bunch of foreign key constraints in a database. As a result I have issues every time I want to truncate a table to perform data loads.
Is there an easy way to tell the system to ignore these constraints for the term of a data load or truncation of data?
thank you

I have recently restored an SQL Server 2000 database on SQL Server 2005
A number of constraints on the database had previously been disabled
A monthly process that is carried out, imports data into 'Table A'.
This process now crashed, being unable to truncate table as it referenced by 'Table B'
Although when i check the properties of the constraint the 'enforce foreign key constraints' is set to no.
Is there a known issue with restoring databases on 2005,
Any help greatly appreciated.

CREATE TABLE IssueLog (
ItemNo int NOT NULL IDENTITY PRIMARY KEY
REFERENCES IssueProgress (ItemNo)
ON UPDATE CASCADE
ON DELETE CASCADE,
REFERENCES Approvals(ItemNo)
ON UPDATE CASCADE
ON DELETE SET NULL,
Msg 142, Level 15, State 2, Line 0
Incorrect syntax for definition of the 'TABLE' constraint.
I'd like to update or delete the IssueProgress plus update and setting null to the Approvals tables at the same time whenever the ItemNo of the parent table namely IssueLog is updated or deleted.
How can I achieve this?

How can I get and or set the order in which the cascading deletes of a table are executed??
I have table A with cascading deletes to Table B and Table C. Records in table B can not be deleted if they are referenced from table C. So if I delete C, then B and then A; that would work. But B then C and then A might be prohibited due to the constraint between B and C. Therefor the order of execution of the cascading delete is important.

I want to replicate the foreign keys to secondary.I changed the value Copy foreign key constraints value is to True.
I changed this value at pub properties - Articles -
And then it is asking for MARK for reinitialization with the new snapshot.I clicked ok.
When I checked sync status it has given the message like initial snapshot is not yet available.I started the snapshot and the subscription started replication records.When check at pup properties the value Copy foreign key constraints again false.
After changing the value to true it is showing as False.

Ok, so I've broken down and decided to write myself an invoicing
program. I'd like to use GUID fields as the Primary Keys in my
table. Now, I basicly bill for two seperate items:
Deliverables and Services.
So, my Layout's gonna look something like
Create Table Invoice(
ID UniqueIdentifier Primary Key,
-- Other Data
);
Create Deliverable(
ID uniqueidentifier Primary Key,
ParentInvoice uniqueidentifier,
-- Other data);
--...
Im sure there are probems with that as it's written feel free to edify me as to what they are.
my questions are such:
1) Does a uniqueidentifier field automagically get a value?
2) If not how do I generate one in TSQL?
3) If so, what do I use to store my Foreign Keys.
4) How do I declare my Foreign key constraints?

Guys,
I have 600 tables in my database, out of which 40 tables are look up value tables. I want generate truncate scripts which truncates all the tables in order of Parent child relationship excluding lookup tables. Is there any way to do this apart from figuring out Parent Child relationship and then writing the truncate statements for each of the table.
For example
EmployeeDetail table references Employee table
DepartmentDetail table references Department table
Department table references Employee table
My truncate script should be
TRUNCATE TABLE DEPARTMENTDETAIL
TRUNCATE TABLE EMPLOYEEDETAIL
TRUNCATE TABLE DEPARTMENT
TRUNCATE TABLE EMPLOYEE
Is there any automated way to figure out parent and child tables and generate truncate script for the same.
Thanks

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?

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.

hello .
i have a grid for a table that gets updated with recordset.updatebatch
for a multi-user application.
the problem is that some of the table fields have to be unique
now imagine the next situation.
user A opens the form
user B opens the form
user A writes '1000' in the unique field
user A saves the recordset with updatebatch
user B writes '1000' in the unique field
user B saves the recordset with updatebatch
now there will be two records with the field '1000' !
how can i avoid this ?
i cannot check for unique during the update event of the grid
because it should check during the time it is saving and not
when it is just entering data without having updated the recordset
thanks !

Hello to everyone:
Aside from using a trigger to automatically update a Foreign key,
is there a way you can automatically update a Foreign key when you
update its corresponding Primary key using the select statement?

Hi,
I have 2 tables Publication and Advertisment_Codes. I want to update the publication_code in both tables where country_id=1 and publication_code='A'. However, it gives me an error because of foreign key relationship. I tried first updating in Advertisment_Codes and then in Publication table but it didn't work. I tried the other way round but also it didn't work.
How can I update the publication code?
Thanks

I have two tables as below. I want to update a quote and change the item for which it is for. So I want to do an update statement to change the cat_ref that the quote is for. However, when I do this I get a foreign key conflict with cat_ref in the item table. How do I get around this? Thanks

Hello,
I would like to update foreign keys using triggers. At least thats what I think is the solution when having multiple references to a table in order to avoid the "cycles or multiple cascade paths" error message.
Anyway, here are three tables
Dentist table
dentist_id int identity (auto increment)
Patient table:
patient_id int identity (auto increment)
Appointment:
apointment_id int identity (auto increment)
id_dentist int FK to dentist_id
id_patient int FK to patient_id
I am gooling but cant find a way to make a trigger run only when the dentist_id from dentist table is updated. Also, is there a way to get the new id and old id somehow? I saw some posts with new.dentist_id and old.dentist_id but apparently is not for sql server.
Thank you.

We need to import data from flat/xml files into our database.
we plan to do so in bulk as amount of data is huge, 2GB+
we need to do some validation checks in our code after that we create insert queries.
We have identity columns that are used as foreign keys in child tables. Question is how can I write a bulk/batch insert statement that will propogate the identity column to the child, as for all other we are creating the query in the application memory.
there are 2 parent tables and 1st table value needs to be referred to in 7 tables and second table's value in 6.
Thanks much for your help.

Hi,
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
