Table With Triggers Or Maybe A Check Constraint
May 19, 2013
I have a question about a table with triggers or maybe a check constraint.I have the following create tables:
create table bid(
seller char(10) not null,
item_nummer numeric(3) not null,
)
create table Item(
startprice char(5) not null,
description char(22) not null,
start_date char(10) not null,
end_date char(10) not null,
seller char(10) not null,
item_nummer numeric(3) not null,
)
What i'm trying to make is this trigger/constraint: colomn "seller" from table Item will get NULL as long as systemdate is > start_date and end_date, then it will get the value from seller from table bid on the same item_nummer in both table).

CREATE TABLE PRODUCT_SALES
(
Salesmanid BIGINT,
Productid BIGINT
)
INSERT INTO PRODUCT_SALES (Salesmanid,Productid) VALUES (1,1)
INSERT INTO PRODUCT_SALES (Salesmanid,Productid) VALUES (1,2)
INSERT INTO PRODUCT_SALES (Salesmanid,Productid) VALUES (1,3)
SELECT * FROM PRODUCT_SALES
/* SalesmanID is reference key from Sales Master and ProductID is reference key from Product Master. How should i restrict user through DB with any constraint check, if user tries to enter
INSERT INTO PRODUCT_SALES (Salesmanid,Productid) VALUES (1,2),
It should throw error , if possible user defined message would be more useful.

I have a table which has been partitioned on BIGINT column.
Partitioned_Table (ID BIGINT, Name VARCHAR(10), Gender VARCHAR(2))
I have a left range partition function on ID column.
CREATE PARTITION FUNCTION Partition_Function ( BIGINT )
AS RANGE LEFT
FOR VALUES ( '20150601000', '20150602000', '20150603000' );
That means the first partition is ID >= 20150601000 to ID < 20150602000.
I have to switch in a table into an empty partition.
Switching_In_Table(ID BIGINT, Name VARCHAR(10), Gender VARCHAR(2))
Before the switch in, I am creating a CHECK constraint on Switching_In_Table CHECK(ID LIKE '20150625%') Can I use like clause in this scenario?

I am relatively new to SQL and as a project I have been asked to create the SQL for a simple database to record train details. I want to implement a check constraint which will prevent data from being inserted into a table if the weight of the train is more than the maximum towing weight of the locomotive. FOr instance, I need to add the unladen weight and maximum capacity of each wagon (located in the wagon type table) and compare it against the locomotive maximum pulling weight (the locomotive class table). I have the following SQL but it will not work:
check((select SUM(fwt.unladen_weight+fwt.maximum_payload) from
hauls as h,freight_wagon as fw,freight_wagon_type as fwt,train as t where
h.freight_wagon_serial_number = fw.freight_wagon_serial_number and
fw.freight_wagon_type = fwt.freight_wagon_type and
h.train_number = t.train_number) <
(select lc.maximum_towing_weight from locomotive_class as lc,locomotive as l,train as t where
lc.locomotive_class = l.locomotive_class and l.locomotive_serial_number = t.locomotive_serial_number))
The hauls table is where the constraint has been placed and is the intermediary table between train and freight wagon.
I may not have explained this very well; but in short, i need to compare the sum of two values in one table against a values located in another table...At present I keep getting a message telling me the sub query cannot return more than one row.

Hello all
The majority of my database experience comes from ORACLE and i am trying to use some functionality that i have already used in Oracle into a project i am working on in MSDE.
I want to create a trigger that uses a DML constraint that will prevent a tenants from being inserted into a house if the bedroom count is less or equal to the number of tenants currently in the house.
The oracle code is below
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER Tenant_room_check
BEFORE INSERT or update of tenant_ID ON Tenant
FOR each row
as (new.tenant_ID is not null)
DECLARE
Tenant_count NUMBER;
Bedroom_count NUMBER;
BEGIN
select count(Tenant_ID) as Tenant_count
from Tenant
where tenant_ID = :new.tenant_ID
and House_ID = 1
AND Tenant_status = 1;
select count(ROOM_ID) as bedroom_count
from Room
where Room_Name = 'Bedroom'
and House_ID = 1
if (Tenant_count > Bedroom_count)
then raise_application_error(-20601,
'you cannot have more tenants than the number of bedrooms in a student house');
END IF;
END;
/
Ideally I would like to pass the HOUSE_ID and the TENANT_ID from my application using @variablename
I have been looking over forums and in books but i am getting all confused over the syntax to use.
Please Help
Many Thanks

In SQL Server 2000, I want to apply a check constraint on a column type varchar that it is not duplicated. Could someone help me out with this?
Also, should I just make this column the primary key instead of an identity field being the primary key?
What is the performance difference by applying the constraint rather then just making it the primary key?

I have an existing table with field ZIPCODE defined as VARCHAR(5).
I want to add a check constraint to allow only number from 0 to 9.
This is what I did but it gave me error:
alter table test
with check
add constraint ck_test
check (zip between '0' and '9')
error:
ALTER TABLE statement conflicted with COLUMN CHECK constraint 'ck_test'.
The conflict occurred in database 'lahdProperty', table 'test', column 'Zip'.
What did I do wrong. Thanks for your help.

Hi, i want to put a check constraint on one of my tables to make sure that a member doesn't get loaded into the same usergroup twice. Could anyone please help me with this.
Here is some sample code:
Code Block
DECLARE @MyTable TABLE (ID INT IDENTITY(1,1), MemberID INT, ClientID INT, UsergroupID INT)
INSERT INTO @MyTable VALUES (123456, 211, 3054) -- Member gets loaded twice
INSERT INTO @MyTable VALUES (123456, 211, 3054)
INSERT INTO @MyTable VALUES (123456, 211, 3055) -- Same Member as the top but into ---- a different usergroup which is correct
INSERT INTO @MyTable VALUES (215489, 376, 2017)
INSERT INTO @MyTable VALUES (987512, 345, 2237)
INSERT INTO @MyTable VALUES (235479, 333, 1158)
INSERT INTO @MyTable VALUES (354985, 333, 1158)
SELECT * FROM @MyTable
The problem i have is that if a member is loaded into the same usergroup twice then the sites crash on the web applications and the member can't get into his profile page.Unfortunately i don't know which one of the 1000 stored procedures are used to access this table so that i could just change the query to SELECT TOP 1.
However i think that it will be better practive to just put a check contraint on the table and avoide the whole problem.
However 1 member can belong to multiple usergroups.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards

Hi,
If I diseable a Foreign Key like this:
Alter table table_name nocheck constraint constraint_name
I'm able to insert inconsitent data, then when I restart the contraint like this:
Alter table table_name check constraint constraint_name
the constraint dont check the current integrity of the data,
exist any way, without having to recreate the foreign key, to check the data integrity?

In our database we have an indexed field that is using unique values, so in the index we turned on the unique property. Now with some changes we made in the application this value can be Null (could not be Null in the past). When we have more as 1 value having value Null we get an exception of unique key violation.
Therefor we want to make an check constraint the checks if the value allready exists when the value is not Null.
Is this possible and how can it be done?

Hi,
I am trying to enforce a rule that only one record in a table can have status 'Active'. I'd like to do this with CHECK constraint rather than trigger. I know SQL server doesn't support subqueries such as :
alter table add constraint chk_OnlyOneActive CHECK (1=(select count(*) from mytable where status='Active'))
Is there any workaround for this?
P.S. I tried using UDF like this:
alter table add constraint chk_OnlyOneActive CHECK (dbo.NumActiveRecords()=1)
and it works for insert - I am not able to insert a second "Active" record, but for some reason doesn't work for update - I am able to update existing record to status "Active" and end up with two or more Active records in the table.
Thank you.

I am creating a check constraint on a field (GRID_NBR) for values between 1 & 99. I am a little confused on creating the expression for it (Books online is vague).
Can I use the following expression: GRID_NBR BETWEEN 1 AND 99
Or do I have to use: GRID_NBR > 0 AND GRID_NBR < 100
Thanks!

Hi
I have a table with 3 columns in it. The ID column has a datetime data type.
Does anyone know how to apply a check constraint on this field so that the same month cannot be entered twice.
For example the field has the following data in the field
26/04/2008
27/05/2008
26/06/2008
25/07/2008
A user then tries to enter the value 20/05/2008, I would like the check constraint to block this value being entered due to the fact that a item with the same month value has already been entered.
Is this possible?
Thanking you in Advance!!!

Hi
I have created a table which contains date periods. It has 3 fields all with DateTime data types. These fields being ID, BeginDate, and EndDate. The ID field will hold a date indicating what month the reord is for, ie 01/03/2007 being March or 05/04/2007 being April. The BeginDate will contain the beginnig date for the financial month and EndDate for the financial month.
I am trying to apply a check constraint on the ID field so that combaination of a month and year can only be entered once, ie. if 01/03/2007 already exists in the table then 03/03/2007 cannot.
Is this possible?
Thanking you in advance!

I need to create a check constraint for an email column/field, where the field must contain an "@" symbol. Does sql (oracle or SQL in general) let you do this.
1. Tried myself:
ALTER TABLE Q_Customer
ADD CONSTRAINT Q_chk_Cus_email CHECK (Cus_email LIKE '%@%');
...but
ORA-02293: cannot validate (C3267304.Q_CHK_CUS_EMAIL) - check constraint violated
2. Tried from a forum: alter table Q_CUSTOMER
add constraint Q_Chk_cus_email check (Cus_email like '%_@__%.__%')
...but
ORA-02293: cannot validate (C3267304.Q_CHK_CUS_EMAIL) - check constraint violated

I want to incorporate a Check constraint within a trigger, based on this but im struggling with the coding.Assuming that is an Alphanumeric field you should be checking what value is in the alphanumeric column from inserted, comparing it with whatever is in the AMGR_User_Fields_Tbl to see if there’s a duplicate and then raising the error...This is my Trigger:
ALTER TRIGGER [dbo].[DUPLICATES]
ON [dbo].[AMGR_User_Fields_Tbl]
FOR INSERT, UPDATE
AS
DECLARE @Alphanumericcol VARCHAR (750)
-- This trigger has been created to check that duplicate rows are not inserted into table.
-- Check if row exists
SELECT @Alphanumericcol
FROM Inserted i, AMGR_User_Fields_Tbl t
[code]....

Hi , I have a table that holds CityName and TownName.This table is usually updated and I dont want the same CityName and TownName to be inserted Again.
I have used Primary Key that holds thoose two fields but Primary Key is an index and I know that using check constraint works by spending less performance then indexes .
So , How can I use a check Constraint for two fields ?

Hi there,
My problem should be fairly simple. Say i have a small table with 2 columns, employee_id and department_id. I want to create a check constraint so that no more than 4 employee_id can be associated with department_id and the user is warned if he/she is trying to do so. Can anyone advise me on how to do it?

Can we use parentheses in a check constraint in MS-SQL-server DDL?e.g. I'm having a problem with the following statement:ALTER TABLE [dbo].[MyTable] ADD CONSTRAINT [CK_MyTable_TimesDataOK]CHECK (([TimeOn] IS NULL AND [TimeOff] IS NULL)OR([ShiftCode] IS NOT NULL AND [TimeOn] IS NOT NULL AND [TimeOff] IS NOTNULL));The statement appears to run fine, but when I look at my tabledefinition afterwards, it appears that SQL-server ignored theparentheses in my constraint; it shows the constraint expression as:(([TimeOn] IS NULL AND [TimeOff] IS NULL OR [ShiftCode] IS NOT NULL AND[TimeOn] IS NOT NULL AND [TimeOff] IS NOT NULL))My intention is that if there's (non null) data in either of the columnsTimeOn or TimeOff is not null, all three of the columns TimeOn, TimeOffand ShiftCode must have non null data.OK, I realise I could enforce this by altering my table setup in otherways. Right now I'm just trying to figure out if this I'm just upagainst a difference between dialects of SQL in check constraints here.Am I missing something obvious with parentheses?BTW the DDL for the table I'm testing on:CREATE TABLE [dbo].[MyTable]([FNname] [nvarchar](50) NOT NULL,[ShiftDate] [datetime] NOT NULL,[ShiftCode] [nchar](2) NULL,[TimeOn] [nchar](4) NULL,[TimeOff] [nchar](4) NULL);

I thought the whole point of 'check constraint' being unticked meant you could whack your data straight in no probs.
How can I insert a bunch of historical information where I want to control the PK, in this case DealID?
I have got 'keep identity' checked.
I check the db, the Id does NOT exist currently.
Error: 0xC0202009 at Data Cleansing, Deal Insert [12194]: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005.
An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client" Hresult: 0x80004005 Description: "The statement has been terminated.".

Hi all,
Any advice much appreciated.
I have a table that defines the metadata of some values that will be stored in some generic table somewhere. Here's the table definition:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[AttributeType]
(
[AttributeTypeID] [int] NOT NULL
, [AttributeTypeName] [nvarchar] (40) NOT NULL
, [AttributeDataType] [nvarchar] (40) NOT NULL CONSTRAINT CK_AttributeDataType_Values CHECK ([AttributeDataType] IN ('NVARCHAR','INT','DECIMAL','DATETIME'))
, [AttributeLength] tinyint NULL
, [AttributePrecision]tinyint NULL
, [AttributeScale] tinyint NULL
, CONSTRAINT CK_AttributeScale_Values CHECK (AttributeScale <= AttributePrecision)
) ON [PRIMARY]
What I want to do is write a constraint (or 4 constraints) that says:
If AttributeDataType = 'nvarchar', AttributeLength cannot be NULL, AttributePrecision must be NULL, AttributeScale must be NULL
If AttributeDataType = 'int', AttributeLength must be NULL, AttributePrecision must be NULL, AttributeScale must be NULL
If AttributeDataType = 'datetime', AttributeLength must be NULL, AttributePrecision must be NULL, AttributeScale must be NULL
If AttributeDataType = 'decimal', AttributeLength must be NULL, AttributePrecision cannot be NULL, AttributeScale cannot be NULL
Is that even possible? I've tried and failed (admittedly not for too long) to fathom a way of doing it.
