SQL & PL/SQL :: Modification Of Existing Check Constraint

May 9, 2012

How can I modify the check constraint without dropping the already existing check constraint.

Example: alter table table_1 add constraint const_chk check (ATTRIBUTE7 in
('READ','UNREAD');

Want to add some TENTATIVE value for the already existing one. I could do that by dropping the constraint

ALTER TABLE table_1 DROP CONSTRAINT const_chk and modifying it later as
alter table table_1 add constraint const_chk check (ATTRIBUTE7 in
('READ','UNREAD','TENTATIVE');

Is it possible to do that with out dropping the constraint?

PL/SQL :: ORA-02293- / Check Constraint Violated

Jul 5, 2012

i have a table for example :

CREATE TABLE RMD_2
(
"RMD_ID" NUMBER(10,0) NOT NULL ENABLE,
"ABB" VARCHAR2(16 BYTE),
"ACT_IND" VARCHAR2(1 BYTE) NOT NULL DISABLE,
CONSTRAINT "RMD_2_C1" CHECK (act_ind IN ('Y', 'N')) ENABLE
)

for column ACT_IND their is a check constraint RMD_2_C1 it should only accept either Y or N.

but, when ever i am inserting other values other than Y or N it is accepting it should not accept and it should have to give error message ORA-02293- : check constraint violated.

but it is not happening,it is accepting all other values even NULL value also.my requirement is this column should only accept either Y or N and it should not accept other values.

How To Create Check Constraint That Act As Foreign Key

Jul 10, 2012

I have table EMP & DEPT.

Can you give me sample "check" constraint so that when I enter an EMP (with status='active') without matching DEPT entry, the process will fail?

It will allow to enter EMP with status='inactive' only even if no matching DEPT entry. So foreign_key will not apply.

SQL & PL/SQL :: How To Add A CHECK CONSTRAINT To Compare Info In 2 Tables

Jan 27, 2011

I need to alter a table to check that the data in a column is contained in a similar column in another table.

I have a STORES table and a STORE_REP table. Both tables have a column REP_ID.

I need to add a CHECK constraint into the STORES table to make sure that the info entered into its REP_ID column matches an entry in the STORE_REP table.

Both have a NUMBER(5) data type.

Will it make any difference if the REP_ID column in the STORE_REP table was originally created with a VARCHAR2(5) data type and was later converted to NUMBER(5), while the REP_ID column in the STORES table was created as NUMBER(5) when that table was created?

SQL & PL/SQL :: Is NOT NULL Needed If A CHECK Constraint Is On Column

Dec 13, 2010

In the below code, do I need the 'NOT NULL' after the 'state char(2)'? I am guessing that I do not need it since I have the CHECK constraint on the column.

CREATE TABLE employee(
id PRIMARY KEY,
first varchar(20) NOT NULL,
middle varchar(20),

SQL & PL/SQL :: How To Delete Constraint

Apr 26, 2012

i have a problem that i have created a table named PROJECT and structure is like-
CREATE TABLE PROJECT
(
id VARCHAR2(250 BYTE) NOT NULL,
NAME VARCHAR2(250 BYTE) NOT NULL,
COMPID NUMBER NOT NULL,

[code]...

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.

Referential Integrity Constraint?

Mar 23, 2011

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.

SQL & PL/SQL :: How To Add Oracle Constraint To Tables

Jan 4, 2013

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 ?

NOVALIDATE CONSTRAINT METHOD.

Below is the step i gone through:

1) CREATE TABLE mutu (id NUMBER, text VARCHAR2(20));

2) INSERT INTO mutu SELECT rownum , 'mutu' FROM dual CONNECT BY LEVEL <= 10000;

3) Insert Duplicate row.
INSERT INTO mutu VALUES (42, 'DUPLICATE');

4) COMMIT;

5)Create a NON-UNIQUE INDEX's CONSTRAINT as below.
ALTER TABLE mutu ADD CONSTRAINT mutu_pk PRIMARY KEY(id)
USING INDEX(CREATE INDEX mutu_pk ON mutu(id)) ENABLE NOVALIDATE;

6) Insert Duplicate row.
INSERT INTO mutu VALUES (42, 'DUPLICATE');

7) ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00001: unique constraint (SYS.ZIGGY_PK) violated

Why it shows the error. Even though I had created a NON-UNIQUE INDEX's Constraint only.

PL/SQL :: Unique Constraint Violated

Oct 4, 2013

My DB version is

BANNER                                                     
----------------------------------------------------------------
Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0 - 64bi
PL/SQL Release 10.2.0.4.0 - Production

TNS for Linux: Version 10.2.0.4.0 - Production               
NLSRTL Version 10.2.0.4.0 - Production  

These error codes I'm getting in production.First of all, I've no duplicates present in that table for which this error has been raised.I've checked the index and related columns as well. NO DATA is there.So NO CHANCE for unique constraint violation.

SELECT * FROM ORDER_OCC_REQUISITION_X_REF WHERE LAB_ORDER_OCC_TEST_ID IN(SELECT LAB_ORDER_OCC_TEST_ID FROM LAB_ORDER_OCC_TEST WHERE LAB_ORDER_OCC_ID = 7944858);

no rows selected

 Now when I'm trying to insert one row inside this table I'm getting this error, as you are seeing no records for this occurrence_id. 

SELECT * FROM USER_INDEXES WHERE INDEX_NAME = 'ORD_OCC_REQ_UQ_TEST_IX_04';
--ORDER_OCC_REQUISITION_X_REF (Table name)
--MERGE_DT, LAB_ORDER_OCC_TEST_ID, TEST_ID, ACTIVE_YN (columns for the index 'ORD_OCC_REQ_UQ_TEST_IX_04')
As you can see there is no data then this error should not be raised.  Update procedure.

SQL & PL/SQL :: Name Of Primary Key Constraint Is ID_PK

Jul 31, 2010

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.

RMAN Unique Constraint Violation

Aug 23, 2011

Our RMAN backup failed because of the error:

starting full resync of recovery catalog
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-03002: failure of backup command at 08/22/2011 22:19:07
RMAN-03014: implicit resync of recovery catalog failed
RMAN-03009: failure of full resync command on default channel at 08/22/2011 22:19:07
ORA-00001: unique constraint (ODBA.DF_U2) violated

Searching metalink, its related to bug 6014994 and the proposed workaround is to delete the constraint:

Cause:
Dropping a datafile from a tablespace followed immediately by adding
another datafile to the same tablespace will cause this Unique Key violation.
Taking a RMAN debug trace will show the file# related to the error
This is reported as bug <<6014994>> Unpublished on Metalink and fixed in 11g
RMAN RESYNC catalog signals DF_U2 violated constraint when a file# is reused in
the same tablespace
Solution
WORKAROUND: Drop df_u2 constraint

where can I delete the constraint, is it possible to do in RMAN or in the target instance?

How To Handle Unique Constraint Violation

Feb 5, 2013

I've set up Oracle Streams replication between multiple N-way zones like this:

CODE------------------------------
Nway1 |Intersect| Nway2
DB1 --|-- DB3 --|-- DB5              DB1, DB2, DB3, DB4 - N-way1
  |   |    |    |    |               DB3, DB4, DB5, DB6 - N-way2
DB2 --|-- DB4 --|-- DB6              DB3, DB4 - intersection zone
      |         |  
-------------------------------

Physically DB1 .... DBN connected sequentially, so I want to prevent segmentation if some DB is unaccessible, but at the same time fight unneeded redundancy which uses too much link bandwidth to send N-1 LCR-s to all members of a single N-way group (so I want to split one big N-way zone into smaller ones and sequentially connect them into chain - it significantly reduces load on link if N is big enough (>10)). Also I want to have 2 DB in intersection zone to prevent single point of failure.

This scheme has one drawback - if change originated on DB3 or DB4, then it will be propagated (more correctly - applied and captured again) to DB5 and DB6 by both DB1 and DB2 (and, as far as I know, I have no means in capture rules to detect state of DB2 from DB1 and vise versa), so on DB5 and DB6 I get:

CODEORA-00001: unique constraint (DUMMYUSR.UNIQUE_RECORDS) violated error

I've set up standard conflict handler for apply process:

CODE

declare                                                                                        
    cols DBMS_UTILITY.NAME_ARRAY;                                                              
begin                                                                                          
    cols(1) := 'no';                                                                          
    cols(2) := 'name';                                                                        
    cols(3) := 'ddate';                                                                        
    dbms_apply_adm.set_update_conflict_handler(                                                
        object_name       => 'DUMMYUSR.DUMMYTBL',                                              
        method_name       => 'DISCARD',                                                        
        resolution_column => 'no',                                                            
        column_list       => cols                                                              
    );                                                                                        
end;

but it seems that it does not handle uniqueness conflicts. What is the best way to handle uniqueness conflict (is there a better way than to write custom error handler) and how serious is the impact on insert performance of having unique constraint and corresponding error handler. (In real world I will have to deal with tables with metainformation and without any keys).

Also, how to proceed with no error or raise exception from apply error handler with error that caused this handler to run? In oracle docs I can find only example that modifies LCR and runs lcr.EXECUTE(TRUE), but what to do if I don't want to reexecute LCR, but merely check error code and propagate error if it is not ORA-00001?

Row Violations Due To Referential Integrity Constraint?

Feb 2, 2012

Referential 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.

After i check data in all_indexes table, i have found some old data which are belongs to 2008 and 2009. The sample as below:-

OWNER INDEX_NAME LAST_ANALYZED

SDS1COND_FK1 31-OCT-09 07:04:50
SDS1COND_FK2 31-OCT-09 07:04:50

is it the problem due to the old data not remove from the all_indexes table ?.. if YES is it I have to delete the old data manually from the all_indexes table ?
