SQL & PL/SQL :: Primary Key On A View
Dec 20, 2011While making a view.
1. Is it advisable to have primary key in a view.
2. Why can't we have a primary key in a view, what are its advantages. I mean one cannot search a view by index.
3. Is it because of hibernate, but again i have used distinct keyword in a view declaration which means i cannot insert via view.
Here is my code for view to make a primary key in a view.
CREATE OR REPLACE FORCE VIEW VU_NAME
PRIMARY_KEY, NAME_ID, ADDRESS_ID
)
[Code]....
alter view VU_NAME add constraint vemp_pk primary key (PRIMARY_KEY) disable

View 1 Replies View RelatedSQL & PL/SQL :: Auto Number For Primary Key
Feb 19, 2011I have set up a schema using a DDL script in Oracle 10g. I am linking this through to a Visual Basic 2008 fron end. The connection is fine. My database of is for a car hire company project.
I need to know how to create an auto increment for a primary key field, like Access does.
For example here is my table structure for my Rental_Payment table.
-- TABLE RENTAL_PAYMENT
CREATE TABLE RENTAL_PAYMENT (
PAYMENTNO NUMBER NOT NULL,
CARDNO NUMBER NOT NULL,
[Code]....
So for example the first record would appear as:
PAYMENTNO CARDNO AMOUNT CARD_TYPE
======== ===== ====== =======
01
I would then enter values and the next payment number would be 02 etc.
PAYMENTNO CARDNO AMOUNT CARD_TYPE
======== ===== ====== =======
01 123412 £40.00 VISA
02
Visual Basic will usually have a star (*) beside a new entry field so 02 will be
* 02
etc........
I have about creating a sequence. So how can I tie this to my table?
SQL & PL/SQL :: Foreign Key - Primary Key Relation
May 2, 2012I am trying to establish PK-FK relationship between 2 tables. Table 1 has VACC_ID as a primary key. Table 2 has VACC_ID and SCH_ID as the primary keys. I am trying to add VACC_ID from Table 2 as a FK to Table 1. This is the code I used
ALTER TABLE Table_1
ADD CONSTRAINT FK_VACC_ID
FOREIGN KEY (VACC_ID)
REFERENCES Table_2(VACC_ID)
I also tried to add it without writing the query and editing the Table 1. By default, I am getting 2 columns(both VACC_ID) in the local column being referenced to the 2 primary keys(VACC_ID and SCH_ID) of table 2. I also uploaded the screeshot of the error, when I run the query.
SQL & PL/SQL :: Primary Key Violation Error
Jun 25, 2013In my application I am facing peculiar error. For easy understanding I am considering emp table. In my package P1 I have two procedures Proc1,Proc2.
Proc1 : It is receiving employee details and for checking if employee already exists it is calling Proc2.
Proc2 : Here it checks if employee exists. If exists it deletes old record, commit and inserts new record in sequence.
But however in few instances Proc2 is returning unique constraint (CONSTRAINT_NAME) violated. I am very much confused why this error is coming.

I've managed to get rid of the duplicate records, but I haven't quite figured out how to update the primary key and version number. I've tried the following but

SQL & PL/SQL :: Name Of Primary Key Constraint Is ID_PK
Jul 31, 2010I have a table say EMP with 2 fields ID and Name, with ID being the primary key. The name of the primary key constraint is ID_PK.Now my scenario is :
1. Rename the table EMP to EMP_TEMP;
2. Create an empty table EMP
3. If (data successfully loaded into EMP)
{
Drop EMP_TEMP;
}
else
{
Drop EMP;
Rename EMP_TEMP to EMP;
}
The problem here for me is the primary key constraint. When I am in 2, I cannot create the primary key constraint again since the old one is still in tact. If I go ahead to drop the original pk constraint and re-create a new one in 2, then in case of else part , I need to get the constraint again while renaming the original table.
SQL & PL/SQL :: Primary Key / Foreign Key Joins
Sep 29, 2010I am working on a new project in OBIEE. I am asked to do the data modeling in the database using oracle sql developer. I have to create the joins based on the requirements. I have the tables created already. But the primary keys for few tables are not defined for few tables. PK-FK joins are also not done properly.
My questions are
(1) If I have to define the primary key for the existing tables can I do that using the alter table command or should I create the table all over again and then define it?
(2) If I have to make the changes in the existing PK-FK joins how do i go about doing that?
