Can I apply Referential Integrity to only selected rows of a particular column? This is the reference key to the primary key to another table. But, the issue is, this reference column is not having mandatory data for all the rows. So, whenever this is null, I dont want it to be referred by parent table.
View 4 RepliesReferential Integrity is very important in Oracle database. Consider a scenario where constraints were applied to a database but never enforced on. Only application code was leveraged over the past 1 year to manage this logic.
Over the course of the year there might have been lot of Row Violations which might have led to Data Inconsistency Issues.Do we have a Script, Tools in Oracle which flag all row level violations with referential integrity now being turned on.

no, and it makes no sense to do so either
We have an appointment form in our HIS, where patients take telephonic appointment. That time they may not know their user id given by hospital. So, it remains blank & name is entered manually. But if the user-id is entered, it must fetch patient name from the master.
The candidate key must be unique within its domain.The candidate key can not hold NULL values.
ALTER TABLE HLTHCHKAPPOINTHD ADD (
CONSTRAINT SYS_C007145
FOREIGN KEY (N_PATIENTMR_ID)
REFERENCES MRREGISTRTNHD (N_PATIENTMR_ID));
MRREGISTRTNHD is a patient master & has a primary key named N_PATIENTMR_ID.
HLTHCHKAPPOINTHD is a appointment table & has a foreign key named N_PATIENTMR_ID which references N_PATIENTMR_ID of MRREGISTRTNHD.
Also, N_PATIENTMR_ID of HLTHCHKAPPOINTHD is not a unique key & it can contain null values also. I want to define constraint or any other method such that only the not null values are referenced to the master i.e. it should validate in the master. And null values should skip this reference.
Now, what happens is due to this constraint, when I'm trying to edit & update the rows having null value in N_PATIENTMR_ID, it gives the following error.
ORA-02291: Integrity constraint (SYS_C007145) violated - parent key not found
So, can I give some condition in the above constraint saying, apply this constraint to table HLTHCHKAPPOINTHD only having the not-null values in N_PATIENTMR_ID coulmn?
I am using Datapump import using database link to import an entire schema from another Server but it gives issues with constraints.I tried to first only import the metadata and then disable the constraints and import data and enable constraint but in this case the temp tablespace keeps filling up and i am out of space. Is there any method to do a full import including constraints and indexes.

Oracle uses the following execution model to maintain the proper firing sequence of multiple triggers and constraint checking:
1.Run all BEFORE statement triggers that apply to the statement.
2.Loop for each row affected by the SQL statement.
a.Run all BEFORE row triggers that apply to the statement.
b.Lock and change row, and perform integrity constraint checking. (The lock is not released until the transaction is committed.)
c.Run all AFTER row triggers that apply to the statement.
3.Complete deferred integrity constraint checking.
4.Run all AFTER statement triggers that apply to the statement.
i have an understanding about Integrity constraint checking and the trigger execution sequence, which i decsribe below.
Integrity constraint are restiction on DML operation performed by the user. When a user deletes or updates or inserts a rows in a table then oracle performs certain checking to see that the data which is effecting the row abide certain rules. There are certain per-defined set or rules that can be applied on a table such as PRIMARY KEY, FORIEGN KEY, UNIQUE, CHECK, NOT NULL etc, user-defined rules can be applied on tables by using Triggers.
In both the cases the Integrity Constraint Checking is deferred until the complete execution of the statement. All rows are inserted first, then all rows are checked for constraint violations.
So when i see the trigger execution model the following steps are performed by oracle, Oracle uses the following execution model to maintain the proper firing sequence of multiple triggers and constraint checking..This is what the Oracle Documentation Library says [extract from Oracle Database Concepts 10g Release 1 (10.1)].
1. Run all BEFORE statement triggers that apply to the statement.
2. Loop for each row affected by the SQL statement.
a.Run all BEFORE row triggers that apply to the statement.
b.Lock and change row, and perform integrity constraint checking. (The lock is not released until the transaction is committed.)
c.Run all AFTER row triggers that apply to the statement.
3.Complete deferred integrity constraint checking.
4.Run all AFTER statement triggers that apply to the statement.
As for step 3 here the checking of the constraints for the statement is performed which where defered till the complete execution of the statement, then what is done in step 2b? what constraints are checked there?

View 8 Replies View RelatedWhat is the best practices to maintain aggregate columns? Suppose I have the following 2 tables:
DROP TABLE TEST.ORDERS_DET_T;
DROP TABLE TEST.ORDERS_T;
CREATE TABLE TEST.ORDERS_T (
ID NUMBER NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
ORDER_CODE VARCHAR2(100) NOT NULL,
[code]....
I want the following test script to act int the way, described in comments. Basically this means that the sum of TEST.ORDERS_DET_T.ORDER_DET_SUMA must be equal to TEST.ORDERS_T.ORDER_SUMA after transaction commits.
INSERT INTO TEST.ORDERS_T(ID, ORDER_CODE, ORDER_SUMA) VALUES(1,'FRUITS',100);
INSERT INTO TEST.ORDERS_DET_T(ID, ORDERS_T_ID, ORDER_DET_CODE, ORDER_DET_SUMA) VALUES(2,1,'APPLES',40);
INSERT INTO TEST.ORDERS_DET_T(ID, ORDERS_T_ID, ORDER_DET_CODE, ORDER_DET_SUMA) VALUES(3,1,'PEAT',60);
COMMIT; --SHOULD BE OK, 40+60=100
[code]....
P.S. Creating views based on ORDERS_T and ORDERS_DET_T are not an option, if the user would still be allowed to modify data in tables (as in test scenarios). This is because of current business situation, where the client has 2 teams (outsourcing for back-office solution and insourcing for web solution) that are accessing/modifying the data in the same tables.
I've an Oracle Table which has around 300 columns. I've a requirement to split this single table into two tables (150 columns each) by a foreign key.

CREATE TABLE PROJECT

id VARCHAR2(250 BYTE) NOT NULL,

and this table is created in some number of different database then i want to delete the not null constraint of "id" column and there is 3 not null constraint in my table and i didnot gave name at the time of creation, so we cant delete it by its name in the script because there will be different name in another database for the same constraint. i want to make a script to delete the not null constraint because it is the part of my script.
how should i get proper information for deleting the constraint. and i used "user_constraints" but it shows same information for the all three "not null" constraint.

I have three tables:
A {op_id, op_name, .}
B {b_id, op_id, supplier_id, .}
C {c_id, op_id, op_id2, supplier_id, relation, .}
Table B and C have op_id which is foreign key from table A. In table A op_id is primary key, in table B b_id is primary key and in table C c_id is primary key. In table B supplier_id and op_id may have duplicate records. Now I want to add constraint so that if I delete records from Table B for op_id and if a relationship record exists for op_id in table C then it should not allow me to delete. Is it possible through referential integrity constraint ?

I 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.
