I am trying to setup a constraint on a 2012 database the allows only one "LineitemNumber" for each InvoiceID. I am not certain how to do this. Both of these columns exist in the same table.

Unique Constraint To A Column From Another Table

Oct 29, 2005

Is it possible to create a unique constraint to a column from anothertable? For example:tb_current:current_names--------------aaabbbtb_new:new_name--------cccNow I want to create a constraint on tb_new.new_name to be unique withrespect to tb_current.current_names. However, tb_new.new_name shouldnot be unique to itself. So I should not be able to insert 'aaa' totb_new.new_name. But I should be able to insert 'ccc' totb_new.new_name.Here's the script to reproduce this example:create table tb_current(current_names varchar(10))create table tb_new(new_name varchar(10))insert tb_current values ('aaa')insert tb_current values ('bbb')insert tb_new values ('ccc')select * from tb_currentselect * from tb_newinsert tb_new values ('aaa') -- this should NOT be allowedinsert tb_new values ('ccc') -- this should be allowed

INSERT Statement Conflicted With COLUMN FOREIGN KEY SAME TABLE Constraint

Aug 1, 2006

For some reason, I'm getting this error, even without the DBCC Check:

INSERT statement conflicted with COLUMN FOREIGN KEY SAME TABLE constraint 'Category_Category_FK1'. The conflict occurred in database 'mydb', table 'Category', column 'CategoryID'.
The statement has been terminated.

The very first insert fails...it was working fine before:


DELETE Category;

-- Now, insert the initial 'All' Root Record

INSERT INTO Category
(ParentCategoryID, [Name], [Description], DisplayOrder, DisplayInExplorer, Keywords, Active, CreateDate, CreateUserID, UpdateDate, UpdateUserID )
SELECT 1, CategoryName, '', 1, 1, '', 1, GETDATE(), 1, GETDATE(), 1 FROM CategoriesStaging WHERE CategoryName = 'All'

INSERT INTO Category
(ParentCategoryID, [Name], [Description], DisplayOrder, DisplayInExplorer, Keywords, Active, CreateDate, CreateUserID, UpdateDate, UpdateUserID )
SELECT 2, CategoryName, '', 1, 1, '', 1, GETDATE(), 1, GETDATE(), 1 FROM CategoriesStaging WHERE CategoryName = 'Store'


/* Finally, insert the rest and match on the Parent
Category Name based on the CategoryStaging table
*/

WHILE (@@ROWCOUNT <> 0)
BEGIN
INSERT INTO Category
(ParentCategoryID, [Name], [Description], DisplayOrder, DisplayInExplorer, Keywords, Active, CreateDate, CreateUserID, UpdateDate, UpdateUserID)
SELECT c.CategoryID, s.CategoryName, '', 1, 1, '', 1, GETDATE(), 1, GETDATE(), 1
FROM Category c INNER JOIN CategoriesStaging s ON c.[Name] = s.ParentCategoryName
WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM Category c WHERE s.[CategoryName] = c.[Name])
AND s.CategoryName <> 'All'


Here's the schema:

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Category](
[CategoryID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[ParentCategoryID] [int] NULL,
[Name] [nvarchar](255) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL,

CONSTRAINT [Category_PK] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
(
[CategoryID] ASC
) ON [PRIMARY]
) ON [PRIMARY]

GO
USE [mydatabase]
GO
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[Category] WITH NOCHECK ADD CONSTRAINT [Category_Category_FK1] FOREIGN KEY([ParentCategoryID])
REFERENCES [dbo].[Category] ([CategoryID])

Cannot Truncate Table 'Database.dbo.Table' Because It Is Being Referenced By A FOREIGN KEY Constraint..

Aug 23, 2006

Here is my issue I am new to 2005 sql server, and am trying to take my old data which is exported to a txt file and import it to tables in sql. The older database is non relational, and I had made several exports for the way I want to build my tables. I built my packages fine and everything is working until I start building relationships. I remove my foreign key and the table with the primary key will get updated for the package again. I need to update the data daily into sql, and once in it will only be update from the package until the database is moved over.

It will run and update with a primary key until I add a foreign key to another database.

Here is my error when running the package when table 2 has a foreign key.

[Execute SQL Task] Error: Executing the query "TRUNCATE TABLE [consumer].[dbo].[Client] " failed with the following error: "Cannot truncate table 'consumer.dbo.Client' because it is being referenced by a FOREIGN KEY constraint.". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.

Transact SQL :: Database Constraint Check On Table With Reference Key

INSERT INTO PRODUCT_SALES (Salesmanid,Productid) VALUES (1,2),

It should throw error , if possible user defined message would be more useful.

T-SQL (SS2K8) :: Cannot Define Primary Key Constraint On Nullable Column But Column Not Null

Sep 30, 2014

We have a database where many tables have a field that has to be lengthened. In some cases this is a primary key or part of a primary key. The table in question is:-

/****** Object: Table [dbo].[DTb_HWSQueueMonthEnd] Script Date: 09/25/2014 14:05:09 ******/
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
SET ANSI_PADDING ON
GO
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[DTb_HWSQueueMonthEnd](

[Code] ....

The script I am using is

DECLARE@Column varchar(100)--The name of the column to change
DECLARE@size varchar(5)--The new size of the column
DECLARE @TSQL varchar(255)--Contains the code to be executed
DECLARE @Object varchar(50)--Holds the name of the table
DECLARE @dropc varchar(255)-- Drop constraint script

[Code] ....

When I the the script I get the error message Could not create constraint. See previous errors.

Looking at the strings I build

ALTER TABLE [dbo].[DTb_HWSQueueMonthEnd] DROP CONSTRAINT PK_DTb_HWSQueueMonthEnd
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[DTb_HWSQueueMonthEnd] Alter Column [Patient System Number] varchar(10)
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[DTb_HWSQueueMonthEnd] ADD CONSTRAINT PK_DTb_HWSQueueMonthEnd PRIMARY KEY NONCLUSTERED ([Patient System Number] ASC,[Episode Number] ASC,[CensusDate] ASC)
WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, SORT_IN_TEMPDB = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ONLINE = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY]

They all seem fine except the last one which returns the error

Msg 8111, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot define PRIMARY KEY constraint on nullable column in table 'DTb_HWSQueueMonthEnd'.
Msg 1750, Level 16, State 0, Line 1
Could not create constraint. See previous errors.

None of the fields I try to create the key on are nullable.

Constraint On Column

Dec 13, 2007

Hmm,

I'm creating a table that contains information from two other tables. I'd like to have a constraint on some columns so that thay can only contain information that exists in the other two tables. This is what I got:

create table dbo.KUSE_Bills
(
SERVICE_ID int IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL primary key,
BILLDATE datetime NOT NULL,
CNAME varchar(100) NOT NULL,
SNAME varchar(100) NOT NULL,
PRICE money NOT NULL,
UNIT varchar(50) NOT NULL,
NUMBER integer NOT NULL,
BILLSUM money NOT NULL
)
GO

I tried something like this:

create table dbo.KUSE_Bills
(
SERVICE_ID int IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL primary key,
BILLDATE datetime NOT NULL,
CNAME varchar(100) NOT NULL,
SNAME varchar(100) NOT NULL,
PRICE money NOT NULL,
UNIT varchar(50) NOT NULL,
NUMBER integer NOT NULL,
BILLSUM money NOT NULL

CONSTRAINT chk_cname CHECK (CNAME NOT IN (
SELECT CNAME FROM KUSE_Customer))
)
GO

But subqueries are not allowed...

So how can I do it?

Unique Column Constraint

Jun 6, 2008

I like to use the management console to design tables, but have
been unable to figure out how to add a unique column constraint.

I have a primary key defined in col1 and want to make col2, char(10),
unique, but keep col1 as the primary key.

I have tried the Check constraint menu path, but do not know how
to write the expression.

If I go along the Indexes/Key path, I am forced to change the primary
key which I do not want to do.

Can anyone help?

TIA, Joe

CHECK Constraint - Referencing Another Column

Aug 31, 2000

I receive the following error when creating a CHECK constraint that references another column. According to the good old Wrox SQL Server book, I'm using the correct syntax. Anyone have any ideas???

Thanks in advance!

Column CHECK constraint for column 'end_date' references another column, table 'Session'.

Here's an example of the script that I'm using:
CREATE TABLE Session (

course_key char(18) NOT NULL,
site_key char(18) NOT NULL,
instructor_key char(18) NOT NULL,
start_date smalldatetime NULL,
end_date smalldatetime NULL
CHECK (end_date >= start_date)
)

Trigger? Constraint? Computed Column?

Feb 23, 2007

Hi.

I was wondering how I should go about doing this thing. I need to put a value in a column that is based on values on other columns in the same row.

When this statement executes I need to put a value in Col3.

insert into myTable(Col1, Col2)
values(25, -14)

Something like so:

if(Col1 >0 AND Col2 <0)
set Col3 = Col1 - Col2
else
set Col3 = Col1;

I don't now quite how to solve this. I am really going to need this value in a column. Calculating the value at retrieval is not on option...

I appreciate all help. I'm using SQL Server 2005.

Thanks!

Alter Column With Default Constraint

Dec 7, 2001

I can't seem to get the syntax correct for ALTERing an existing column with a default constraint. I've been to Help and BOL. There are examples that show how to use the ALTER command to add a column with a default constraint but not how to do it on an existing column.

Any help would be appreciated.

Unique Constraint On Nullable Column

Jul 16, 2004

I have a producer table with a nullable column that stores SSN's. In some cases producers inherit SSN's from other producers. These records will have a null producer.ssn and a record stored in a child table to track the inheritance. Anyway, I've found two techniques to enforce uniqueness on a nullable column and wanted to get opinions as to which was better. First, write a trigger. Second, create a computed column that has a unique constraint on it. The computed column would use the SSN if not NULL Else use the PK identity value of the record. EXAMPLE DML:CREATE TABLE test ( ssn CHAR(9) NULL, testId INT identity(1,1) NOT NULL, ComputedConstraint AS CASE WHEN ssn IS NULL THEN CAST(testId AS CHAR(9)) ELSE ssn END, UNIQUE (ComputedConstraint)) Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

UNQIUE Constraint On String Column?

Jan 21, 2008

What do you guys think about creating a unique constraint on a string column in a database?

Currently, I'm enforcing uniqueness through the stored procedure that inserts rows into the table. E.g.

PROCEDURE addRow( name )

DECLARE r INT;
SELECT COUNT(*) INTO r FROM foo WHERE foo.foo_name = name;
IF r = 0 THEN
INSERT INTO foo (foo_name) values(name);
ELSE
// Not unique throw an error

END PROCEDURE


What do you guys think?

Column Foreign Key Constraint 'EOR_ITE_REF_EOR'

Mar 17, 2004

I am importing data from a flat, comma delimited text file. It appears to properly import all the records and then on the last record it give me the error

INSERT statement conflicted with COLUMN FOREIGN KEY constraint for 'EOR_ITE_REF_EOR'.

Then it goes on to tell me the database, table and column in which the problem occured which is the first column in the table. It looks like it doesn't like the end of the file for some reason (EOR, end of record?) so I tried deleting the last record from the file and it still does it. I do have a file that I have imported that worked so I tried copying the last record of that file and pasting it into the last record of the file I wanted but that did not work either. The ends of file that works and the file that doesn't work look the same and I can find nothing on 'EOR_ITE_REF_EOR'. Any help would be appreciated.

Unique Constraint Based On Value In A Column

Nov 23, 2007

I don't immediately find if this is possible but hope someone can give me an answer:
is it possible to make a unique constraint over 2 columns but only when 1 column has a specific value ?

Example: table (tableid, instancetype, instancename, ..)
instancetype can be A or B
if it is A then instancename must be unique
but for B instancename is not unique as these are copies from A

only solution I can think of is to make a trigger on an insert to check what the instancetype is and do a select to see if the name already exists in the table or not..

are there other solutions to make a constraint like this ?

Check Constraint On Character Column

Dec 19, 2007

When generating a check constraint to guarantee that a character column cannot be blank is it best to use comparison operators such as col1 <> '' or to use LEN(col1) > 0? Note that the column in marked as not nullable.

Adding A Default Constraint To An Existing Column

Mar 9, 2000

I cannot figure out how to add a default constraint to an existing column. The syntax I'm using is :

ALTER TABLE table_name WITH NOCHECK
ADD CONSTRAINT column_name DEFAULT (0)

This gives me a syntax error.

The column was originally added with a default constraint of 1 to a 2.6 million row table.
I dropped the existing constraint and need to add the new default constraint of 0 for that column.

Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Alter Column Datatype With Default Constraint

Mar 16, 2004

I need to alter the datatype of a column from smallint to decimal (14,2) but the column was originally created with the following:

alter my_table
add col_1 smallintNot Null
constraint df_my_table__col_1 default 0
go

I want to keep the default constraint, but i get errors when I try to do the following to alter the datatype:

alter table my_table
alter column col_1 decimal(14,2)Not Null
go

Do I need to drop the constraint before I alter the column and then rebuild the constraint? An example would be helpful.

Thx
