ALTER table add constraint vs alter table change

Hello

could someone explain why we have two different statements when you add a constraint on an existing table?

If I need to add a primary key constraint to a column from an existing table that I use:

ALTER table tab1 add the key primary constraint tab1_id_cst (id)

But if I want to add a NOT NULL constraint, the same syntax does not work, I need to use alter table change instead

Why?

Thank you!

Hello

The constraint not null is a constraint inline, average, it applies to the column level. So in order to change anything at the column level you must use "ALTER TABLE CHANGE" only.

Remaining constraint is forced to outline, which are part of the table definition. The table definition can be modified by "ALTER TABLE... ADD '.

In the framework of the above mentioned constraints, those are the two columns level constraints and table except constraint NOT NULL value. Change column level, you must use the syntax

and for the level of the table, you need to use the respective syntax.

Kind regards

  • ALTER TABLE ADD CONSTRAINT

    Hi all
    I need to know if the instructions ALTER TABLE... ADD CONSTRAINT can specify the TABLENAME parameter where I want to create the score.
    Is this possible? If I can, could you please give me the syntax, please?
    If this is not the case, how can I create a table in a schema and for any other primary key?

    What is a "score"? Do you mean the underlying unique index is created to enforce the primary key constraint?

    I guess you mean TABLESPACE, instead of TABLENAME?

    Yes you can.

  • How to add data to the table changed in sql developer at Apex and vice versa

    Hello

    I had tables of database with sql developer. But now, I have modified the database (new tables added + changed the data in the tables). However, in the Apex, I the old database. Is it possible to get the new Apex database with the data of the table changed so this database in both places (sql and apex developer) is exactly the same... Also the other way around.

    Thank you

    The database schema that contains the tables, is it associated with the workspace even you are searching through the APEX product t development?  Why I'm asking is, if they are the same schema, the tables that you MODIFIED should be appear in the sql for APEX workshop part.  Now reports and forms will NOT see the changes (unless you have actually added or updated definitions for column).

    Can you explain what exactly you were doing the SQL Developer to the tables in your schema?

  • How insert/DML data in the table when the data in the related table changes

    Hello guys!

    I came across a problem that I need to get fixed. Because I don't know how to start and get it resolved I wanted to ask you for your expertise.

    The scenario is as follows:

    I have a table 'a' in my 10g database and a view "ab" which combined table 'a' with 'b' table in a view. However, the 'b' table is a table in another schema Manager database. and accessible (read only right) via a database link.

    Now here it is: whenever the data changes in table "b", for example 2 new sets of data is inserted, I need to insert automatically the 2 values of these 2 sets of data in my table "a". Same procedure for update and delete in table "b".

    The action that inserts data into the table 'a' must be initialized in my database, I have limited access to the other. Can I somehow use a trigger my reviews of "ab" to insert data into the table "a"? Or is it possible to use the "change notification procedure database" using the view as the reference?

    Desperately need help and example of all suspicion/code greatly appreciated. I am very new to Oracle and not very fond of PL/SQL routines. So please be so kind as to give me more details.

    Thanks in advance - I hope you have any ideas how I can get this problem resolved.

    Sebastian

    >

    ... it does not, since the DDL operations are not permitted on the remote databases (ORA-02021). I can't create the trigger on a view either. :-(
    So what ways are left to insert data into the table 'a' when the related table changes?

    Please, help if you have an idea!

    Yes,
    You can't perform the DDL (create the trigger...) on remote databases as you can see...
    Try to create this trigger in the local database that will make DML (insert into...) on the remote database.

        CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER local_forward_pt_after_insert
         AFTER INSERT
             ON N2K_INV_PT
             FOR EACH ROW
    
         BEGIN
             -- Insert records into table "a"
             INSERT INTO TBL_PUNKTDATEN@remote_database_sid
              ( INT_NUMMER,
                STR_GEBIET
                 )
             VALUES
              ( :new.INT_INV_PT_NR,
                :new.GEBIET );

    Hello

    If you create a new table using DEC, then he wouldn't copy the old table to the new table constraints.
    Some of these options, you can use.
    (1) using dbms_metadata for the ddl for all dependent objects on the old table and run against the new table after you change the name of the table name/object.
    (2) use imp/exp or impdp/expdp without data to copy the table and dependent objects such as constraints.

  • Table changed

    Hi gurus,

    I need to know how to check when the defination of table has changed. Someone has disabled a constraint and I need to know when it has been changed.

    I'm using oracle 11.2.0.3

    Thank you

    DBApps

    The change is to the constraint, not at the table. So:

    Select last_change in the dba_constraints where owner = '... "and constraint_name = «...» » ;

  • Differentiate the tables changes and no changes do not

    Hello

    I am relatively new on (I've always been a sort of paper/felt for Whiteboard guy) formal data modeling tools.

    On my question/Scenario:

    I have a warehouse of data with a few hundred tables inside. When changes are made to the data warehouse, we're supposed to present an ER diagram preferably with tables in one color, tables be changed to a different color and the tables does not change does not to another more neutral color.

    Here is my current process

    (1) import of relevant existing tables in the data dictionary
    (2) create tables or change existing tables
    (3) change the type of array for the modified tables and dimension for new tables. The existing tables, I leave it as what.

    Success with this process generates a diagram that fits my purposes, but I have a hunch that I'm not using better methodology. What is a better way to do this using the oracle sql data model (version 3)

    What you certainly works, but a better approach would be to define new types of classification rather than use the Dimension or fact.

    Then go here:
    Tools-> preferences-> data-> diagram maker-> Types of Classification.

    Press the Green plus sign to add a new type.
    Add two new types: new and changed and assign each a unique color.
    Press 'OK' to save.

    Now, when you go back to the diagram, you will have two new types from.

    I'll have a search form and the basis of the table of results based on entity vo. The table of results is in mode editall. If I change the value in the inputtext for a line and I click on search again, I expect the value modified to reset. The text component is not autosubmit.

    'But chooses to render using the value sent instead of the value of the database '.

    What is the correct implementation to handle this?

    Stamped UI components (such as af:table) have resetStampState() method.

    Then you can try something like:

  • AF:table - change disabled property of input text according to the value of the attribute line

    Hello

    I use Jdev 12.1.2.

    I have a table with the number of lines.  Each line has a FutureCode attribute and other attribute FutureComments.  I want to make sure FutureComments is disabled unless the FutureCode of this line is is 'OTHER '.

    I tried to go to the text of the FutureComments component in the table and setting the property to the expression for disabled:

    #{row.bindings.FutureCode.inputValue == 'OTHER'? false: true}

    But it does not work.  I messed around with the parameters in the table (distribution of content, immediate change), but I did not get a configuration so that it can work.

    A little more information, the text input component are always disabled.  I also tried using the expression evaluator in the debugger to check the value of my #{row.bindings.FutureCode.inputValue}, but it is null, no doubt because he does not know what line I'm talking about.

    Any idea on this?  Thank you.

    Hello

    There the lov on future code?

    will not have operator you used? Try

    #{row.bindings.FutureCode.inputValue! = 'OTHER'}

    Thank you for advice!

    Thanks for the suggestion.

    In the end, I solved it as follows:

    1. I placed a transitional column in the VO

    2. in the line of sight Impl, did the calculation of the value

    3. in the controller being used following code:

    The value of the value of line of sight objekt of demarcation to the value of column in table advanced bean. (Via OADataBoundValueViewObject)
    With setAttribute using oracle.cabo.ui.UIConstants, we can define a set of properties. Here you can see setting the Destination URI

    Table OAAdvancedTableBean = (OAAdvancedTableBean) webBean.findIndexedChildRecursive ("myTable");

    OAMessageStyledTextBean bTableCol = (OAMessageStyledTextBean) table.findIndexedChildRecursive ("AdvTableColumn");

    OADataBoundValueViewObject attr_key = new OADataBoundValueViewObject (bTableCol, "VOColumn");
