How to associate an index with a foreign key constraint

I understand how to associate a primary key constraint or a Unique key constraint index...
Yet I don't see how to associate the index of a foreign key constraint. Is this possible?

Thank you
Bob Larsen

Hi Bob,

In Data Modeler, physical model for Oracle primary and unique keys dialog boxes offer an Index field using, which is used to generate the 'using_index_clause' in the DDL for primary and Unique key constraints.
However the Oracle Database DDL does not have the "using_index_clause" for Foreign Key constraints, thus Data Modeler does not provide this feature for foreign keys.

So, you will need to create a separate Index that uses the same columns as the foreign key (using the index page of the table properties dialog box in the relational model).

  • Foreign key constraint, not recognized during the synchronization of data with the model dictionary

    Hello

    Data Modeler is a foreign key constraints do not recognize when synchronizing data with the model dictionary, although the foreign key is there (in the database that a data dictionary is read). I can't find any criterion when a foreign key is not recognized by the Data Modeler. Are there limits to the length of the attribute, or the number of columns in a foreign key, or other limitations which may lead to this behavior not to recognize a fk by Data Modeler? I have columns more than 32 characters. I compared with the fk is recognized by DM, but I can't find anything that indicates why it is not recognized.

    I wonder if someone also has constraints of foreign keys that are not recognized in the comparison of data bases and model?

  • How do I change or add constr. foreign key to the table whose children or data lines

    Hello

    I have a table with the name of Department in which the DEPTNO column is a column of data and primary key in it for all columns. Now, I have a table EMP where DEPTNO column is not having any constraints, including constraint foreign key also. I now have data in the EMP table for all columns. I would now add the DEPTNO column foreign key constraint in the EMP table that references the column DEPTNO in DEPT table. Both the table have not all null values.

    I need to add the foreign key without removing the data in the EMP table.


    Please advice.

    Kind regards

    In addition, if you have pre-existing data that will never have a parent record but you want to ensure that any NEW data is consistent with the FK constraint you can always create it with the NOVALIDATE option:

  • type a materialized view foreign key constraint?

    Hello.

    I have a materialized view that flows into a single column 'A' two different columns of different tables of a remote database.

    I also have a table that has a column 'B', whose values must exist in the column 'A' of the materialized view.

    So it's like defining a constraint foreign key of a table to a view, but this is not possible.

    Is it possible to do?

    I saw some triggers that verify the existence of the 'A' value before insertion in 'B', but this fails when a value is changed or deleted in 'A'

    Any suggestions?

    Thank you very much.

    There is no problem of definition of a primary key on a materialized view and then reference it with a foreign key. It works for me:

    create database link l1 connect to scott identified by tiger using 'orcl';
    create materialized view mv1 as select deptno||dname as a from dept@l1;
    alter table mv1 add constraint mv1pk primary key (a);
    alter table dept add (fkcol as (deptno||dname));
    alter table dept add constraint deptfk foreign key (fkcol) references mv1;
    

    I don't know there is a more elegant solution than to use a virtual column, which seemed the best way to get around the concatenation of two columns in a single

  • Entity Association depends on foreign key constraint?

    Hello

    I use JDeveloper 10.1.3.4 and have a question, as shown in the subject of this announcement. By a design flaw, I added a foreign key on a table constraint at the level of the database for any purpose other than to achieve a relationship between master/detail your. Now the foreign key constraint fell to remedy the irregularity, but I don't know if the application is not a problem on the road.

    The application in question has a table named BILL and another table called VALIDATIONS, both with the same primary key composite (LDAP_UID, TERM), where we hear per semester.

    BILL is on students, the balance they have, etc. VALIDATION records the commitment, students make:
    BILL
    ------------------------------------------------
    LDAP_UID       TERM      BALANCE
    -------------  --------  --------
    john.miller    200902       1500
    
    
    VALIDATIONS
    ------------------------------------------------
    LDAP_UID       TERM      CONFIRM_NUMBER
    -------------  --------  --------------
    john.miller    200902    0901100005
    The foreign key constraint has been added on the table of VALIDATION, validations (LDAP_UID, TERM) reference (LDAP_UID, TERM) BILL. When the data model is accumulated in the application, an entity association was created automatically for this foreign key constraint, and then a link has been created on the association of the entity to achieve the effect mater-detail of the application:
    Table:               BILL
    Table:               VALIDATIONS
    Foreign Key:         VALIDATIONS(LDAP_UID, TERM) references BILL(LDAP_UID, TERM)
    Entity object:       Bill
    Entity object:       Vallidations
    Entity Association:  ValidationsBillFkAssoc (based on the foreign key)
    View object:         LoggedInStudent (from Bill)
    View object:         OneValidation (from Validations)
    View link:           ValidationByOneStudent (based on ValidationsBillFkAssoc.  This achieves master/detail
                                                 between LoggedInStudent and OneValidation)
    This foreign key is now asking problem and should be deleted: Bill table contains the data from more than three semesters, whereas student commitments cumulatively saved in the table of VALIDATIONS must be maintained permanently. When data from older semesters are unloaded from the table of BILL, the lines stored in the table of VALIDATION are orphaned.

    I thought that the link of the view and the association of the entity dependent on the foreign key, so I removed before dropping the foreign key in the order listed here:
    Removed usage of of the VO (OneValidation) from the application module
    Deleted the view link (ValidationByOneStudent)
    Deleted the entity association (ValidationsBillFkAssoc)
    Dropped the foreign key in the database
    The master/detail relationship between the two your is still necessary. I added the link display, which now is based on common attributes (LdapUid, term) between the two, rather than based on the association of the entity. The modified application works very well with the database has changed and now the rows in the table of VALIDATION will not be an orphan.

    What is interesting and also troubling is that when I run a copy of the application which has been registered before these amendments, on the basis of data which dropped the foreign key constraint, the application still works, with the master-detail and everything. And the dependencies do not seem to matter. But isn't it?

    My question is: an entity association requires a corresponding foreign key in the database? If I use the copy of the application before the changes, it will be OK or it will cause unforeseen problems on the road?

    Thank you!

    Hello

    If you've proven yourself that in fact there is no dependency between the association and the foreign key constraint. in fact you can create everything that (the primary keys, foreign keys, other constraints) only for your same features if you have nothing
    defined in database tables, which is obviously not right approach. and JDeveloper tells you only about the dependence of its use (if you want to delete something that is used some part... e. g VL in AM, EO in VO, VO in AM...)
    just to note - it is important to synchronize your OA if you change the definition of the data table. for example if you remove the foreign key of the table then right-click on EO and chose to sync - JDeveloper should acknowledge and ask you
    If you want to remove this constraint of EO.

    Kind regards

  • Is this a BUG?  Export of data besides the foreign key constraints

    I use SQL Developer 1.5.4 with patches installed 59,47 and 59,59. I want to do an export of database from a scheme of 10 g XE and include all objects in the DOF resulting. So I select ALL the checkboxes in the Export Wizard and when I get to step 3 to specify the objects, I don't see any of my constraints in the list box... not foreign key constraints, without constraints of primary key, without check constraints, nothing. Is this a bug, or is there a workaround, or which could possibly hurt? We want to be able to use the database export function to easily transport and track the changes to our entire schema using source control compares.

    Any help or suggestions replacement would be apprieciated.

  • Details of the foreign key constraints

    Why foreign key constraints is not ongoing validation in case of null values?
    For example, in the table EMP and DEPT table, EMP. References DEPTNO Dept. DEPTNO.
    But I am able to insert rows into the EMP table that contains nulls for EMP. DEPTNO.

    I guess he's saying essentially that a foreign key must have a parent key or can be an orphan. But may not be a key that is not listed in the parent.

    And also NULL is neither equal to anything, nor does not correspond to something.

    But still, you can put a NOT NULL constraint if you do not want your foreign key to contain orphaned records.

  • A table with two foreign keys

    Hi all

    I need to create a table (mytable) filled from 2 different tables, for example, table1 and table2

    When the rows of the table (mytable) comes from the first table (table1) columns in mytable (foreign key to the second table) are nulled, when they come (foreign key) column in the second table (table2)
    the first table) are cancelled as well.

    In terms of performance, architecture is valid, in other words, create a foreign key 2 on mytable and consequently, (the composite foreign key in this table are null according to whether they belong to the first or the second table)?

  • Update fails because of a foreign key constraint

    Hello.

    I have several tables in my database but 3 are important. One of them is used (Employee_ID, Last_Name and other irrelevant columns name), dentist (employe_id, Qualifications) and Wizard (Employee_ID, Qualifications).
    I am applying in Oracle Application Express and trying to update a row in the Employee table, I get an ORA-20505: error in DML: p_rowid = 96, p_alt_rowid = employe_id, p_rowid2 =, p_alt_rowid2 is. ORA-02292: integrity constraint (DB. Dentist_CON) violated - book of the foundling

    Now, first of all, I had the same problems with the removal of lines, but I've solved that by adding a delete cascade on foreign keys.
    I have key constraints foreign both in my paintings dentist and Assistant in columns Employee_ID and these refer to Employee_ID in the Employee table.

    When I update anything in my Express request form, I've allowed users to do anything of my Employee table primary key (employe_id). Any changes that might occur therefore columns unrelated to the primary key. For example, if I change the name of a particular line column I can't update because I get the above error.

    I don't understand why this is happening.
    If I could get a glimpse, why this is happening or using any I would be very happy.
