SQL & PL/SQL :: Unique Null And Multiple Non-null
Oct 24, 2013create table test
(
id int ,
dat date
)
/
I want to implement a business rule such as we have for each id at most 1 dat null. So, I've created this unique index on test.
create unique index x_only_one_dat_cess_null on test(id, case when dat_cess is null then 'NULL' else to_char(dat_cess, 'dd/mm/yyyy') end);
insert into test values (1, sysdate);
insert into test values (1, sysdate - 1);
insert into test values (1, null);
insert into test values (1, null);
-- -----
insert into test values (2, sysdate);
insert into test values (2, sysdate - 1);
insert into test values (2, null);
The 4th insert will cause an error and this is what I wanted to implement. OK. Now the problem is that for non-null values of dat, we can't have data like this
iddat
------------
124/10/2013
123/10/2013
123/10/2013
1
because of the unique index (the 2nd and the 3rd row are equal). So just for learning purposes, how could we allow at most one null value of dat and allow duplicates for non-null values of dat.
Forms :: Create Unique Primary Key
Nov 28, 2010A Master form in a tabular format. Id is a display item. I want to auto generate Id with following query.
select nvl(max(issue_id),0)+1 into :issue_mt.issue_id from issue_mt;
It works:
1)When each record is saved before creating new record.
It doesn't work:
2)If multiple records are entered with out saving each record.
What to do to generate unique Id in both cases?
PL/SQL :: ORA-00001 / Unique Constraint Because ID Is Primary Key On TABLE1
Jun 27, 2012I have in a plsql block somewhere a statement like
INSERT INTO TABLE1( id , col)
SELECT id, col
FROM TABLE2;
This statement returns an error ORA-00001: unique constraint because id is a primary key on TABLE1. I would like to know what is the value of id that raised the exception.
SQL & PL/SQL :: Unique Constraint When 1 Column Is Not Null
Jun 15, 2012I have 3 columns in a table: colX, colY, colZ.
Trying to find a way to prevent duplicates with these, but only if colX is not null.
For example, if there are already values for: colX = 1, colY = 1, colZ = 1
then:
Allowed: colX = null, colY = 1, colZ = 1
Not allowed: colX = 1, colY = 1, colZ = 1
I can't create a unique constraint on these columns because there are many null values for column colX, and as mentioned, when colX is null, colY and colZ can be any values.
I also tried using a before insert trigger to find duplicates before posting and raise an error if found, but this causes an ORA-04091 mutating error since the trigger in the table is referencing itself to check for duplicates.
Also, I know there is something called a function based index, but I cannot use those with my code, so I need another solution if possible.
ORA-02270 / No Matching Unique Or Primary Key For Column-list
Jan 14, 2013I'm trying to make a foreign key against a table which has a unique index instead of a primary key.
i get this error:
Error SQL: ORA-02270: no matching unique or primary key for this column-list
02270. 00000 - "no matching unique or primary key for this column-list"
*Cause: A REFERENCES clause in a CREATE/ALTER TABLE statement gives a column-list for which there is no matching unique or primary key constraint in the referenced table.
my question is (i've searched several times with no results) can i create a foreign key with a table wich has no primary key but a unique index ?example:
CREATE TABLE TABLE1(
IDTABLE1 NUMBER(5),
NAME VARCHAR2(30)
);
CREATE TABLE TABLE2(
[code]....
or TABLE1.IDTABLE1 must be a 'Primary Key' instead of unique index ?I know it should be primary, but i need to know if it would work with the index somehow. The reason is i'm migrating a large database and the original structure in mysql uses fk with indexes and no pks in some tables (48 to be precise)
Creating Unique Constraint That Excludes Null
May 22, 2013I have a table where I want user to fill in unique values for a field which is easy to do.
Problem is sometimes the values can be null so an ordinary unique constraint does not work because multiple null records. Is there a way of validating only non null values to ensure all data entered that is non null is unique?

Jul 6, 2010I was cloning a schema user1 as user2 in the same database.
user1 had quota on 2 tablespaces user1_data and user1_index.
I created user with name as user2.
I created tablespace user2_data only and granted user2 unlimited quota on that tablespace only (did not grant him 'resource' role or unlimited tablespace privilege) Now exported user1 schema as follows
exp system/<passowrd> file=/u05/oradata/dump/user1_schema.dmp log=/u05/oradata/dump/user1_schema_exp.log owner=user1 rows=y constraints=y triggers=y indexes=y statistics=none recordlength=65535 compress=no consistent=n grants=y
then imported in in user2 schema as follows
imp system/<password> file=/u05/oradata/dump/user1_schema.dmp log=/u05/oradata/dump/user2_schema_imp.log fromuser=user1 touser=user2 rows=y constraints=y indexes=y statistics=none recordlength=65535 grants=y
during import i encountered following errors for so many constraints
"ALTER TABLE "table2" ADD CONSTRAINT "constraint_name1" FOREIGN KEY ("CTR_ID") REFERENCES "table1" ("CTR_ID") ENABLE NOVALIDATE"
IMP-00003: ORACLE error 2270 encountered
ORA-02270: no matching unique or primary key for this column-list
IMP-00017: following statement failed with ORACLE error 2270:
I found that the it happened as the primary key of table1 was not created for which error was logged in the log file
. . importing table "table1" 19441 rows imported
IMP-00015: following statement failed because the object already exists:
"ALTER TABLE "table1" ADD CONSTRAINT "T1_PK79" PRIMARY KEY ("CTR_"
"ID") USING INDEX PCTFREE 10 INITRANS 2 MAXTRANS 255 STORAGE(INITIAL 65536 F"
"REELISTS 1 FREELIST GROUPS 1) TABLESPACE "USER1_INDEX" LOGGING ENABLE "
. . importing table "table5" 0 rows imported
However, I checked that the T1_PK79 does not exist in the user2 schema though it exists in user1 schema Neither the index for priamry key (T1_PK79) existed in user2 schema not the table <table1> existed before this import Then what could be the reason that I am getting an error "IMP-00015: following statement failed because the object already exists"?
I assume tablespace for index would not be an issue here as other indexes got created properly in user2_index tablespace during this import.
I tried this twice, once with user2 schema and then with user3 schema as well (with different tablespace), but result is the same.
There were no users connected to the database during export and no background jobs were modiying any data in schema user1 while export.
Performance Tuning :: How Expensive (speed) Is Unique Versus Primary Key In Large Table
Aug 15, 2011I have two design alternatives and need to understand how expensive (speed) is one of them against the other for a medium size table (100K-200K records):
create table xyz
(
f1 number not null,
f2 varchar2(20) not null,
f3 number not null,
f4 varchar2(50),
[code]....
the idea is to optimize the design by using a PK instead of the 3 keys and there is a debate that searching a unique index field(2nd scenario) is of the same speed than searching a PK field (1st scenario).
Primary Key Does Not Treat NULL Value - Can Create Statement?
Feb 21, 2012Create table X(
var1 varchar2(20) null,
var2 varchar2(20) not null,
constraint pk_var1 primary key(var1)
We all know Primary key doesnt treat NULL as a value. But the above statement is fine to be executed without problem.
Is this something to be highlighted? or am i not right in understanding 'var1 varchar2(20) null '?

SQL & PL/SQL :: Counting NULL Vs NON-NULL In A GROUP BY Clause
Jun 21, 2010I am running a GROUP BY query on a few columns of enumerated data like:
select count(*), Condition, Size
group by Condition, Size;
COUNT(*) CONDITION SIZE
-------- ---------- --------
3 MINT L
2 FAIR L
4 FAIR M
1 MINT S
Well, let's say I also have a timestamp field in the database. I cannot run a group by with that involved because the time is recorded to the milisec and is unique for every record. Instead, I want to include this in my group by function based on whether or not it is NULL.
For example:
COUNT(*) CONDITION SIZE SOLDDATE
-------- ---------- -------- ----------
3 MINT L ISNULL
2 FAIR L NOTNULL
2 FAIR M NOTNULL
2 FAIR M ISNULL
1 MINT S ISNULL
