I would like to add a constraint "default value" for a table column, with a name.
I know how to do it for a constraint "not null" : ALTER TABLE tablename MODIFY columnname CONSTRAINT constraintname NOT NULL;
But I don't know how to do it for a constraint "default value".How can I do ?
I have a table as below. This table is not partitioned.
create table t1
(
d1 date,
n1 number not null
);
[Code]....
I took an export dump of the above table and after that I renamed the table t1 to t1_old. Then I recreated the table as below with a default constraint on d1 field.
create table t1
(
d1 date default to_date('01/01/1100','DD/MM/YYYY','NLS_CALENDAR=GREGORIAN'),
n1 number not null
[Code]....
But the problem here is the data import is taking too much time than what I expected. I can't afford a maxvalue partition here as of my DBA team mentioned if you add maxvalue partition adding partition later in a stage is difficult on this table
apply in this scenario and make the import faster. I am using oracle 10.2.0.1.0 version.
I am a junior DBA. I want to check how many columns are under PRIMARY KEY constraint.
I used dba_constraints view. Please find below details.

How to set default value of particular column of a table ?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a table called cust_file, his table consists of a lot of columns (one of these columns called cus_tax) and have a lot of data,I use oracle 11g, I want to change the default value of the column cus_tax to be equal 1, I wrote
ALTER TABLE cust_file MODIFY(cus_tax DEFAULT 1); table alteredbut
after I inserted new data to test the operation, I found that the new record has a value
= null for the column cus_taxthen
I tested using the following query select
data_default from all_tab_columns where table_name='CUST_FILE' and column_name='CUS_TAX'; no rows selected...
Change the default value of the column cus_tax.
I am trying to write a script to create a table with the author column default value as "Administrator" I use this execute immediate statement1;
Why does it create the table successfully with ',AUTHOR VARCHAR2(30) DEFAULT 1' and NOT with ',AUTHOR VARCHAR2(30) DEFAULT Administrator' ?
I want to set the COLUMN DEFAULT have to "Administrator" when I create the table.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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.
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.

id PRIMARY KEY,

I have table customer which contains a column CUSTOMER_FIRST_NAME
CUSTOMER_FIRST_NAME VARCHAR2(50)
What will be sql statement to add a constraint on the CUSTOMER_FIRST_NAME column of the CUSTOMERS table so that the value inserted in the column does not have numbers ?
how do I add a column to an existing table which when rows are added to the table this column will have the same default value?
alter table thetable add (new_column_name varchar2(100) default bbubu);
previously i set null constraint to the column and creating some rows and need to change new entering values as not null constraint to the column in oracle without disturbing the old records. how can I do that.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm using Oracle 11g enhanced ADD COLUMN Functionality. Adding new columns with DEFAULT values and NOT NULL constraint no longer requires the default value to be stored in all existing records.
Sometimes we change DB columns from NOT NULL with DEFAULT to NULL with DEFAULT. This operation "materialize" column default. Is there an easy way (Dictionary view) how to find, that COLUMN default value is stored as metadata or is "materialized" ?

Application Express ver. 4.1
I have created a form. Some of the elements are hidden such as updated_by and update_date. I have provided the default values for these attributes as pl/sql expression in the "default section" (Application->page->edit page item). I am using the Process Row process that is automatically created when a form is created.
The problem is when I click the update button, the updated_by and update_date is passed as null values which throws an error from the database.
I have created a IR report and I set the default search column using the suggestion found in the thread URL....but how can I keep this default even after the research was done?Now it is resetted !

There was one constraint define on the column of table that the value of column should be in range of 100 to 200. Some one has deleted the constraint. Is it possible to get the exact name of constraint from any system table.
