XOR And Foreign Key Constraints

Dec 8, 2005

I have a situation where attending a meeting could be either staff or
coalition members. But don't know how to enforce a foreign key
constraint. any ideas ?

Table Meeting
MeetingID int NOT NULL,
AttendeeID int NOT NULL
Primary Key (MeetingID, AttendeeID)

Table Staff
StaffID int IDENTITY not null PRIMARY KEY

Table CoalitionMember
MemberID int Identity not null PRIMARY KEY

Since AttendeeID can either a value from Staff.StaffID or from
CoalitionMember.MemberID, I cannot place both constraints as

ADD CONSTRAINT [FK_Meeting_Staff] FOREIGN KEY
(AttendeeID)
REFERENCES [Staff] ([StaffID])

ADD CONSTRAINT [FK_Meeting_CoalitionMember] FOREIGN KEY
(AttendeeID)
REFERENCES [CoalitionMember] ([MemberID])

UGH! Failed To Enable Constraints. One Or More Rows Contain Values Violating Non-null, Unique, Or Foreign-key Constraints.

Jan 9, 2007

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.

Jan 17, 2008

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.

Foreign Key Constraints?

Jul 23, 2005

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?

Foreign Key Constraints

Oct 17, 2006

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?

Disabling Foreign Key Constraints

Dec 22, 2000

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.

Foreign Key Constraints And Indexes

Oct 12, 2006

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.

Question On FOREIGN KEY CONSTRAINTS

Feb 4, 2005

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

Enforce Foreign Key Constraints

Oct 22, 2007



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.

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.

Creating Multiple Foreign Key Constraints On A Key?

Feb 21, 2015

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?

Foreign Key Constraints Execution Order?

Sep 4, 2006

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.

Using GUID Fields As Primary Keys W/ Foreign Key Constraints

Nov 17, 2005

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?

Truncate Database Tables Based On Foreign Key Constraints

Nov 5, 2007

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

SQL Server 2008 :: When Renaming A Table / It Doesn't Rename Foreign Key Constraints

Sep 21, 2015

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.

Constraints

Apr 27, 2005

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

SQL Constraints

Dec 11, 2007

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.

Scripting Constraints

Nov 30, 2001

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.

Indexes Vs Constraints

Sep 18, 2001

When 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?
