I 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
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.
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; [code]....
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.
--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?
I 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?
I have to create six tables as part of my assignment. I have created 5 tables. I am having trouble with the 6th. How can I reference a foreign key to a composite primary key? I have colored red the areas that I think are giving me trouble which is in the 6th table, the Registration Table.
Create Table Student ( StudentID number (6,0) NOT NULL, Student_Name varchar2 (20) NOT NULL, Constraint Student_PK Primary Key (StudentID) );

I have 3 tables (Prospect,customer,user) and I have a contact_dtls table .
In prospect table Prospect_id is the primary like this customer_id in customer table and user_id in the user table
in the contact_dtls table I have a column contact_id and other cols.The contact_id can be from prospect_id,customer_id and user_id in other words we can tell the prospect can be a contact or the customer can be a contact and the user also can be a contact also.
Now the question is "is it possible to maintain primary key and foreign key relationship with this design that means the prospect_id,customer_id and user_id would be the foreign keys to the contact_dtls table.
I have an employee table which has a primary key and a self referencing foreign key, as shown here
create table employee ( id not null, name not null, department not null, supervisor_id not null ,constraint constraint_1 primary key (id) ,constraint constraint_2 foreign key (supervisor_id) references employee (id));
Now if i make the primary key composite, as shown below -
create table employee ( id not null, name not null, department not null, supervisor_id not null ,constraint constraint_1 primary key (id, name) ,constraint constraint_2 foreign key (supervisor_id) references employee (id));
Oracle is throwing the following error -
ORA-02270: no matching unique or primary key for this column-list
How can this error be fixed without changing the composite primary key?
How can I create a list of items in a field, for instance lets say I have a table called car and one of the sub categories is parts. How can I make it so that parts can be any number of pre-defined entities? Or even table, for instance if I make a table called parts how can I use that in the car table in place of parts?
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...

I have a main table : CLAIMS_MAIN, in which claim_id is a primary key I have another table : CLAIMS_TRANS , in which claim_id is not a unique key, I mean, there can be more than one records with the same claim_id.. but the column transaction_id is unique, but transaction_id column doesnt exist in the main claims table.
It is required to join both these tables on claim_id...
I have a table which contains the connectivity details. It is telecom data. The table contains the relation between the point features(Ex: Terminal) and linear features(Ex: Cable)
I am working on form builder 6i. I have a header block A(Multi record block), child block B. Both are non control blocks. My requirement is, if i put the cursor in any header record, i want to auto populate corresponding child record like in master child relation.
which trigger i need to write logic to auto populate the child record.
On a form I have 2 blocks, shown on different tabs. Relation created by forms wizard. The relation works great when navigating through the blocks, the details for the master are shown fine.
Example for this form is master block is a type of food. Detail block is list of ingredients.When creating a new type of food, if it's = CAKE we insert records based on a select on another table into the ingredients table.Else, the user has to manually create the ingredients.
Upon commit of the form on master block (must be saved to enable detail block tab), the ingredients are not displayed but are there. If I execute query by hitting F8, the records are present.
Why is the populate-details trigger not being fired or what am I missing?
We are using Oracle 10g and have 10 tablespaces defined for our Database which have 108 tables. Size of 108 tables is around 251 MB as seen during importing the dump. While creating these 10 tablespaces I used below parameters for allocation of space
SIZE 1M REUSE AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 1M MAXSIZE 1M;
which set the initial space for 10 tablespaces to around 1032Kb each. Now my Question is after importing the dump , how the disk space for 10 tablespaces increases to 398 MB in total ?
Is there any relation of Tablespace disk space and Actual Data present in the tables ?
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:
commit; insert all into abc values (10,'ab1',1) into abc values (11,'ab2',2) into abc values (12,'ab3',5) into abc values (13,'ab4',7) 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') select * from dual; commit;
--this following select returns 5 rows
select * from abc, xyz where abc.fk_id = xyz.x_id1;
-- the following update only updates 3 rows and sets the other 2 -- to null!
update abc set fk_id = (select x_id2 from xyz where xyz.x_id1 = abc.fk_id); commit;
I'm not really sure why oracle is not finding my Foreing Key, I'm creating an easy set of table for a company and I'm declaring all Primary keys and foreing keys as necessary and this is my
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 ?
I am using RAC to RAC data guard environment. Os hp-unix. during primary(old standby) to standby(old primary) switchover I am ussing:
SQL>ALTER DATABASE COMMIT TO SWITCHOVER TO PHYSICAL STANDBY WITH SESSION SHUTDOWN;
I have 11.2.0.1 environment with standby and when performing switch over - it was hanging for more than 2 hours and i had to cancel it. This is what all i see in the database alert.log:

Is 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 .
Say we have an employee(id_emp) table with a primary key on id_emp. We have also some history tables emp_stuff with columns say (id_emp, dat_event, some_stuff) with primary key id_emp, dat_event.
This means that we have a unique index on (id_emp,dat_event). We also have a foreign key id_emp that references employee(id_emp). When we update id_emp on employee, we still have a lock on emp_stuff. According to this (end of the page) :
Quote:So, in short, with releases prior to Oracle Database 11g Release 1, you will want an index on the foreign key of the child table if you do any of the following:
Update the parent table primary key Delete from the parent table Merge into the parent table
So is id_emp in emp_stuff considered as indexed (through the unique index of the primary key) or do we have to add an explicit index like this CREATE INDEX emp_stuff ON emp_stuff(id_emp) to avoide child table locks?
In my point of view, deferral FK (DFK) are stronger than non-deferral FK (NDFK). In other words, every NDFK can be moved to DFK. Is there a performance issue ?
Now I want to change the deptno from 10 to 20 and 20 to 10 in dept table . So the ouput will be like
deptno| dname|dseq| 20 | CS | 1 10 | SC | 2
when i am deleting that row I am getting error "ORA-02292: integrity constraint (ROP_FK) violated - child record found".IF i am trying to update i am getting unique key contractin failure.
(Even I cannot update the rest of the column values in dept table as it is also having foreign key dependency) i need to put a sql script in production so that it will interchange.
