I want to create a 1-many relationship. Parent table has a primary
key, child table has no primary key. The child table does have an
index with all four fields of the parent's PK. How can I do this?
Thanks, Bob C.

How to achieve this parent-child has the same table.
I am working on a query to generate parent child hierarchy from a table.
Table has below records.
--===== If the test table already exists, drop it
IF OBJECT_ID('TempDB..#mytable','U') IS NOT NULL
DROP TABLE #mytable
--===== Create the test table with
CREATE TABLE #mytable
[Code] ...
how to achieve this.l tried with temp tables it doesn't work.
For ex.
Table Match_List ( MatchID, UserID_A, UserID_B)
constraints like
MatchID primary key
UserID_A <> UserID_B
unqiue index (UserID_A,UserID_B)
but I wish to exclude duplicated rows like 1,1,2 & 2,2,1,
cause UserA to UserB, and UserB to UserA are the same thing.
How can I get this?
I need to add a child table that will tell us who the participants counselor is, what I did was I did a Make Table query based off the primary key of the Parent table and made that the link (foreign key) for the People_tbl and the Counselor_tbl, so if the counselor changes then the user adds the record to the counselor tbl and then puts in the Effective date. The problem is that when I run a report it doesn't show the present counselor always shows the old counselor?
Code:
SELECT Student_ind.StudentFirstName, Student_ind.StudentLastName, Student_ind.[Student ID], People_tbl.[Family ID], People_tbl.FirstName,
People_tbl.LastName, People_tbl.[Parent ID]
FROM People_tbl RIGHT OUTER JOIN
Student_ind ON People_tbl.[Family ID] = Student_ind.[Family ID]
WHERE (People_tbl.LastName = @Enter_LastName) AND (People_tbl.FirstName = @Enter_FirstName)

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,

Hi!
I am new to SQL Server and am starting to learn. Here is an issue I have not solved yet:
If I have a table with an CompanyID, Parent ID, Child ID and CompanyName and given a CompanyID, how would I (using a stored procedure I imagine) provide a Tree Structure of the company and all it's descendants?
Also, how would I show it's ancestry?
Company1
subsidary1 > subsidary1's child
subsidary2 > it's children, etc...etc...
I hope I phrased the questions right.
Thanks for your help!

Hi
I need to read a file and write parent/child relationship rows. I cannot seem to fugure out how I can generate keys that I an use for the relationship.
I looked at using a variable, but have no joy - I cannot instantiate the variable and it errors - notsure wy.
I also looked to see if I can write to a DB table that maintains key id, but not sure how to do that.
I alo thought of setting up the parent table key to be auto-increment,but canot see how I can read this so that I can us it in the child row inserts.
Help will be really appriciated
Thanks in advance.
I've got a dilemma which I hope someone has a solution to.
Let's say we're building a data mining model to predict aircraft reliability. In the training table we've got a column (among many others) with a unique aircraft ID, and then a column for the type (737,747) and then a column for the series (100,200,300). I.E. A 737-800 series would be "737" and "800".
There is in essence a parent-child relationship between these 2 columns. 737's should share a common set of reliability factors, and then those factors might be further defined by the series number (for instance, the 737 might have very reliable radar except for the 500 series). The series is analogous to what model year a car is. What I want to make sure doesn't happen is for the system to correlate a 747-400 and a 737-400 because they are the same series. They are totally independent if the model number is different.
My only idea was to merge the columns and have a single value "737-100". But it would seem then that the model won't have any idea that a "737-100" and "737-200" should have a lot more in common than a "737-100" because the values will be completely different.
I was hoping to find some sort of parent-child hint in the column properties but found none.
What solutions have other people tried? It sure seems that there should be an elegant solution for something like, but I'm missing it.

Supose I have two records in a parent-child relationsuip (actually I have many more such records). Does SSIS offer any support ask for inserting one record into the parent table, the other into the child table, and updating the foreign key of the child to point to the parent?
TIA,
Barkingdog
P.S. I have to do just this as part of the datawarehouse test I'm running. Seems like a common task but I don't recall anything in SSIS addressing the issue.
I have table "Clients" who have associated records in table "Mailings"
I want to populate a gridview using a single query that grabs all the info I need so that I may utilize the gridview's built in sorting.
I'm trying to return records containing the next upcoming mailing for each client.
The closest I can get is below:
I'm using GROUP BY because it allows me to return a single record for each client and the MIN part allows me to return the associated record in the mailings table for each client that contains the next upcoming 'send_date'
SELECT MIN(dbo.tbl_clients.client_last_name) AS exp_last_name, MIN(dbo.tbl_mailings.send_date) AS exp_send_date, MIN(dbo.tbl_mailings.user_id) AS exp_user_id, dbo.tbl_clients.client_id, MIN(dbo.tbl_mailings.mailing_id) AS exp_mailing_idFROM dbo.tbl_clients INNER JOIN
dbo.tbl_mailings ON dbo.tbl_clients.client_id = dbo.tbl_mailings.client_idWHERE (dbo.tbl_mailings.user_id = 1000)GROUP BY dbo.tbl_clients.client_id
The user_id set at 1000 part is what makes it rightly pull in all clients for a particular user. Problem is, by using the GROUP BY statement I'm just getting the lowest 'mailing_id' number and NOT the actual entry associated with mailing item I want to return. Same goes for the last_name field. Perhaps I need to have a subquery within my WHERE clause?Or am I barking up the wrong tree entirely..
I am trying to insert data into two tables with a SSIS package. One table has a foreign key relationship to the other table's primary key. When I try to run the package, the package will just seems to hang up in bids. I have found two ways around the issue but I don't like either approach. Is there a way to set which table gets insert first?
If I uncheck the check constraints option on the child table, the package will run very quickly but this option alters the child table and basically disables the constraint. I don't like this option because it is altering the database.
The second approach is to set the commit level on both tables to say 10,000 and make sure that the multicast component has the first output path moved to the parent table. I don't like this option because I am not sure if the records are backed out if the package should abend after records have been committed.
I'm using MS SQL Server Studio Express 9.0. When selecting SQL Server Compact Edition, I'm able to create tables and primary keys with no problem. But how do I create a relationship with another table (foreign key)?

I want to create a table with primary key , and put relationship with second table.
View 5 Replies View RelatedWhen creating a parent child dimension I am not using the primary key of the underlying table. I define the key when I create the dimension. The parent/child relationship works fine but my measure aggregation does not work.
The dimension has a regular relation type to the measure and the primary key from the underlying dimension table is used in the relationship to join in the measure. Since I have not used the primary key in the dimension and have defined my own key the define relationship page warns me that I have selected a non-key granularity attribute and I must directly or indirectly relate all other attributes to it. When I attempt to relate the attributes on the dimension structure tab I receive errors that I have created an attribute loop.
Any ideas?
Hi, all experts here,
Thank you very much for your kind attention.
I am trying to create a new mining structure with case table and nested table, the case table (fact table) has alread defined the relationships with the nested table(dimension table), and I can see their relationship from the data source view. But why the wizard for creating the new mining structure showed that message? Why is that? And what could I try to fix it?
Hope it is clear for your help.
Thanks a lot for your kind advices and I am looking forward to hearing from you shortly.
With best regards,
Yours sincerely,
How can I create a one-to-one relationship in a SQL Server Management Studio Express Relationship diagram?
For example:
I have 2 tables, tbl1 and tbl2.
tbl1 has the following columns:
id {uniqueidentifier} as PK
name {nvarchar(50)}
tbl2 has the following columns:
id {uniqueidentifier} as PK
name {nvarchar(50)}
tbl1_id {uniqueidentifier} as FK linked to tbl1.id
If I drag and drop the tbl1.id column to tbl2 I end up with a one-to-many relationship. How do I create a one-to-one relationship instead?

I have four tables with relationships as shown. They have a circular relationship and so one of the relationships is forced to be inactive.
Operation (Commodity, OperationKey) ==========>
Commodity (Commodity)
/
/
|
|
Advice (OperationKey) ====== (inactive)=======>
Operation Commmodity (Commodity, OperationKey)
I have the following measure:
Advice No. Commodity:=CALCULATE (
COUNTROWS ( 'Advice' ),
USERELATIONSHIP(Advice[OperationKey],'Operation Commodity'[OperationKey]),
operation
)
However, the userelationship function does not override the active relationship between Operation & Advice and so the measure is limited to Advices directly filtered by the Operation table.
If I delete the relationship between Operation and Advice, then the measure works as expected i.e. Operation indirectly filters Operation Commodity which filters Advice.
In SQL Server 2000, I have a parent table with a cascade update to a child table. I want to add a record to the child table whenever I add a table to the parent table. Thanks

SO when i try to load from Master table to parent and child table i am using using expresssion like
select B.ID,A.* FROM FLATFILE_INVENTORY AS A JOIN DMS_INVENTORY AS B ON
A.ACDealerID=B.DMSDEALERID AND A.StockNumber=B.STOCKNUMBER AND

If i use this Expression i am getting the current system date data's only from Master table to parent and child tables.
My Problem is If i do this in my local sserver using the above Expression if i loaded today date and if need to load yesterday date i can change my system date to yesterday date and i can run this Expression.so that yeserday date data alone will get loaded from Master to parent and child tables.
If i run this expression to remote server i cannot change the system date in server.
while using this Expression for current date its loads perfectly but when i try to load yesterday data it takes current date date only not the yesterday date data.
What is the Expression on which ever date i am trying load in the master table same date need to loaded in Parent and child table without changing the system Date.

Hello, I created some SQL 2005 tables using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio. I need to get the script code of those tables. I was able to do that by right clicking over each table. But how can I get the code for the relationships between the tables? Can't I create relationships between two tables by using T-SQL? Thanks, Miguel
View 3 Replies View RelatedHi I have two tables:
1.) Operator-OperatorID{PK, int, not null}-OperatorName{varchar(100), not null}-Enabled{bit, not null}-PasswordChange{bit, not null}-BirthDate{datetime, not null}
2.) Password-PasswordID{PK, int, not null}-Password{varchar(50), not null}-ExpirationDate{datetime, not null}
I'm not sure how to design and layout these two tables. The layout of these two tables is completely flexible as the application has not been deployed. I'm open to any good suggestions.
For each Operator I want to stored up to 3 previous passwords plus their current password. The password change field is so that if the operator's password expires or gets reset, they will be forced to enter a new password. This is a simple internal company application, so password encrypting is not necessary. The ExpirationDate indicates the date that the password will expire.
Hope to hear from someone soon! Thank you!

i ve got a database that has a table...that table has a relationship between its primary key,and another field,actuelly i did it for doing menus and sub menus,so each menu has an ID say menuID and it has DEPTH and parentID which is the menuID of the parent...the problem is that i can not use "Cascade update Related Fields" or "Cascade Delete Related Records" which are really necessary ...for example when deleting parent ,not to have a child lost :)i hope i ll have an answer soon,and thanks in advancedPS: i am using MSSQL 2000 evaluation

Hello,
I have 3 tables: Articles, ArticlesTags and Tags.
ArticleTags relate Articles and Tags records.
When I try to delete a record in Tags I get the following error:
The DELETE statement conflicted with the REFERENCE constraint
"FK_ArticlesTags_Tags". The conflict occurred in database "MyDB", table "dbo.ArticlesTags", column 'TagID'.
The statement has been terminated.
What am I doing wrong?
Here is how I am creating my tables:
create table dbo.Articles
(
ArticleID uniqueidentifier not null
constraint PK_Article primary key clustered,
Body nvarchar(max) not null
)
create table dbo.ArticlesTags
(
ArticleID uniqueidentifier not null,
TagID uniqueidentifier not null,
constraint PK_ArticlesTags
primary key clustered (ArticleID, TagID),
constraint FK_ArticlesTags_Articles
foreign key(ArticleID)
references dbo.Articles(ArticleID)
on delete cascade,
constraint FK_ArticlesTags_Tags
foreign key(TagID)
references dbo.Tags(TagID)
)
create table dbo.Tags
(
TagID uniqueidentifier not null
constraint PK_Tag primary key clustered,
[Name] nvarchar(200) not null
)
Basically, what I need is:
1. If an Article is deleted then:
> Delete all records for that Article in ArticlesTags
> Don't delete any Tag in Tags.
2. If an Tag is deleted then:
> Delete all records associated with it in ArticlesTags.
> Don't delete any Article in Articles.

I
have 3 tables I am trying to relate for a music player. I was
following the example in the msdn however, my relationships do not seem
right. Here are tables i want to relate:
Table 1:
ArtistID
ArtistName:
Table 2:
RecordingID
RecordingName
ArtistID
Table 3:
TrackID
TrackName
TrackNumber
TrackLocation
RecordingID
So
the main idea here is that the foreign keys are recordingId and
artistID. So what i did is created the 3 tables and then make a
diagram to create the relationships. I then was reading this post:
http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=219696&SiteID=1
What
i want to do is use 2 different text boxes lets say and as i move from
the records in the Record_table (2) the corresponding artist will
change with it. However in the dataset the relationship looks like
this:
Artist -> Recording -> Track.... inorder for me to get
this relationship to work correctly i have to change all the
relationships in the dataset diagram. This way the dataset would look
like this: Track -> Recording ->Artist. This way i can use the
2 bindings to reference each other as stated in the link above. why
doesnt the relationship of the database know this already? why do i
have to change the relationship in the datasets.
I have two tables: ads and categories. I have an existing relationship: categories.id (PK) and ads.categoryid (FK). Now I want to create additional relationship with categories.id (PK) on ads.SecondCategoryID (FK). When I try to save it in SQL Manager I get the following error:
- Unable to create relationship 'FK_classifieds_Ads_classifieds_Categories2'. The ALTER TABLE statement conflicted with the FOREIGN KEY constraint "FK_classifieds_Ads_classifieds_Categories2". The conflict occurred in database "mydb", table "dbo.classifieds_Categories", column 'Id'.
