In my sql developer I have created a table. Created primary keys. Using alter table I have also created the foreign key. Now I need to add one more foreign key to the same table. Do I have to drop the existing foreign key and then create the 2 new foreign keys using the alter table condition or can I retain the existing FK and just use alter table to add another FK.
View 9 RepliesI have few BDs replicated using Advanced Replication, some tables are read only (Basic Replication) and another ones are Updatable (Advanced Replication).
The infraestucture is Materialized View Replication, my trouble is, I do not know how to should treat the updatable tables that have foreign keys, I read in another FAQs that you should replicate the indexes using the same way to replicate tables (dmbs_repcat.create_master_repobject)
Which is the correct manner to treat the foreign keys with this kind of updatable snapshots,
I have to create indexes on foreign key columns ,now if composite index is already there with foreign key column then that will work or i will have to create a single column index.

My second question is about using foreign keys as primary keys. If I am writing an email sql DB and I decided to use the members usrname as the primary key in the member table but then made another table that lists all the emails and decided to make the foreign key member username the primary key there.
Is that safe to do or should i create a sequence in which to identify a primary key for the email list table? Also what if I extend member to several other tables and use it as a primary key there too, seems like a kind of dangerous way to do things...
Create table Car
(Car_cd VARCHAR2(5),
Car_Desc VARCHAR2(50)
);
alter table Car
add constraint Car_PK primary key (Car_CD);
INSERT INTO Car (Car_Cd, Car_Desc) VALUES ('CORLA','COROLLA');
Commit;

The requirement necessitates a new table to map car to manufacturer. This mapping table may later be expanded to contain other attributes Engine, MPG, etc to hold details specific to a car.But this is in future.
Create Table Car_Mapping_Details
(Car_Cd VARCHAR2(5),
Manufacturer_Cd VARCHAR2(5));
--Primary Key Constraint
ALTER TABLE Car_Mapping_Details
ADD CONSTRAINT Car_Mapping_Details_pk PRIMARY KEY (Car_Cd );
--Not able to create this as Car_cd is already a PK in this table and therefore has Unique Index
ALTER TABLE Car_Mapping_Details ADD CONSTRAINT Car_Mapping_Details_fk1
FOREIGN KEY (Car_Cd)REFERENCES Car (Car_Cd);
[code]....
But in this case the Car_Mapping_Details.Car_cd is itself is a primary key and therefore has Unique index.Although I was able to create foreign key constraint on Car_mapping_details.car_cd column (which is also Primary Key), I was not able to create Foreign Key Index on this column. It gives me Quote:ORA-01408: such column list already indexed.In other words, not creating foreign index for foreign key column lead to table-level lock? Or will the Unique Index in that primary key column be sufficient to avoid table-level lock?
how to put exceptions while defining the summary item ? In one of my datablock there are certain lines whose "inactive_flag" gets a "Y" value on certain events. I want my summary item to exclude such amounts from summing up.

As an example:
If field A value is equals to May, then set field "Quarter" data value to "2nd Quarter".

Trying to delete duplicate rows from a table. The problem is, they aren't exactly duplicate rows. Let me explain.
I am migrating data from a Oracle 8.1.7 db to a 10.2.1 db. In the older db, this certain table does not have a PK/Unique Index, but in the new db there is a unique index. The fields that the index is unique on are:
SUBSCR_NO, SUBSCR_NO_RESETS, EXTERNAL_ID, EXTERNAL_ID_TYPE, ACTIVE_DATE.
In the old db, when I run this query I get 1229 rows. With a count of 2 each.
select SUBSCR_NO, SUBSCR_NO_RESETS, EXTERNAL_ID, EXTERNAL_ID_TYPE, ACTIVE_DATE, count(*)
from customer_id_equip_map
group by SUBSCR_NO, SUBSCR_NO_RESETS, EXTERNAL_ID, EXTERNAL_ID_TYPE, ACTIVE_DATE
having count(*)>1;
They are duplicates on those fields, but they are not totally duplicate rows because there is a field called is_current that has 0 in one row and has 1 in the other. What I need to do, is delete the 1229 rows with is_current=0.

is it something to do with the join command
Inside procedure,I need to validate all the columns (Ex:col1 should not accept more than 40 chars) and update status(containing error or not) of these columns into another column in the same table.For this,I mentioned only 'UPDATE' statements.So 'WHERE' clause of some update statements not using Primary keys.
In that table composite primary key was created.This procedure is successfully complied & executed now.But this procedure took more than 10 mins to execute.I need to reduce the time to less than a min.
Every time I hit up, down, left, and right arrow keys to return to a previous sql command I got ^[[D, fix this issue? The backspace works fine with me.

The following examples show how to correctly choose the cluster key and set the HASH IS, SIZE, and HASHKEYS parameters. For all examples, assume that the data block size is 2K and that on average, 1950 bytes of each block is available data space (block size minus overhead).Note that 34 hash keys are assigned for each data block
how they arrive at 34 hash keys because another portion of the document states
This space determines the maximum number of cluster or hash values stored in a data block. If SIZE is not a divisor of the data block size, then Oracle Database uses the next largest divisor.
if that is the case, then number of hash keys should be 1900/55 = 34.55 which should have rounded up to 35.

I have an already populated table that refers to a wrong foreign key in another table. I have table abc that has the column fk_id. this column currently refers to column x_id1 in the table abc while it should refer to column x_id2 in xyz. I am trying to replace the data but I guess I miss something in the logic or the right way of doing it:
following is my trial:
create table abc
(
pk_id number(4) primary key,
abc_name varchar2(10),
fk_id number(4)
);
create table xyz
(
x_id1 number(4),
x_id2 number(4),
x_name varchar2(10)
);
commit;
insert all
into abc values (10,'ab1',1)
into abc values (11,'ab2',2)
into abc values (12,'ab3',5)

into abc values (14,'ab5',9)
into xyz values (1,1,'d1')
into xyz values (2,2,'d2')
into xyz values (5,3,'d3')
into xyz values (7,4,'d4')
into xyz values (9,5,'d5')

commit;
--this following select returns 5 rows
select * from abc, xyz where abc.fk_id = xyz.x_id1;

I have a parent table called dept and one child table emp which is referenced on deptno and now both have data . Now i want to truncate the dept table and i have truncated emp table after it when i am trying to truncate dept table then oracle throws a error that is-
"ORA-02266: unique/primary keys in table referenced by enabled foreign keys" ,
but when i tried to delete some records 1 by 1 then these have delete but truncate is not still working. why? if i have 10 millon records.
You should almost always index foreign keys because they are frequently used in joins. In addition, if you intend to delete or update unique or primary keys on the parent table, you should index the foreign keys to improve the locking of child records.what I don't understand are, I should create index on foreign key column in parent table or child table or both ?
View 1 Replies View RelatedIs there any view in oracle which gives the foreign key mapping.
E.g.
Table DEPT has DEPTNO as PK.
Table Emp has DEPTNO as FK to DEPT.DEPTNO.
I can get the information for DEPT table from R_CONSTRAINT_NAME column of all_constraints table.My requirement is to get the the which column of Emp table refers to DEPT.DEPTNO column .
