integrity constraint
I am really confused about a question, I received in a job interview...Which of the following is not considered to be integrity constraint?
a. non-Null
key b.Primary
c.Unique
key d.Foreign
Please tell me... .with reason
I would say they are all integrity constraints. These documentation says:
Integrity constraints
An integrity constraint is a declarative method to set a company for a column of a table. An integrity constraint is a statement about the data in the table is always true but who follows these rules:
* If an integrity constraint is created for a table and a few data in the existing table do not satisfy the constraint, the constraint cannot be applied.
* After that a constraint is defined, if the results of a DML statement violates the integrity constraint, then the statement is canceled and an error is returned.
Integrity constraints are defined with a table and are stored as part of the definition of the table in the data dictionary, so that all database applications follow the same set of rules. When a rule has changed, it should be changed once at the database level and not many times for each application.
The following integrity constraints are supported by Oracle:
* NON-NULL: Does not allow null (empty entries) values in a table column.
* UNIQUE KEY: Does not allow duplicate values in a column or set of columns.
* PRIMARY KEY: Does not allow duplicate values and NULL values in a column or set of columns.
* FOREIGN KEY: Requires that each value in a column or set of columns to match a value in a related table, UNIQUE or PRIMARY KEY. Also, FOREIGN KEY integrity constraints define referential integrity actions which dictate that Oracle has to do with dependent data if the data it references is corrupted.
* CHECK: Does not allow values that do not satisfy the logical expression of the constraint.

Catch an integrity constraint error
Hello everyone. I am currently including a validation in my form and want to present the user with an error message when you try to insert a new record. One of the values of fields must be a value from another table in my database, basically, this is a foreign key. now currently when the user enters a value that is not in the table below I get the following error:
ORA-02291: obligation of integrity... violated - parent key not found
What I was asking is what would be the best way to catch this error. IE would I put it in the trigger before insert and say if forced to integrity (not sure how to test if the error would only integrity constraint) then display message... or how would I go to do.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.You can give them the list of valid values in the LOV and let them also to type the value in the text field and validate on WHEN-VALIDATE-ITEM trigger like this:
DECLARE v_temp VARCHAR2(1); CURSOR c_get_rec IS SELECT 'X' FROM ParentTable WHERE Parent_Key = :YourBlock.Parent_Key; BEGIN IF :YourBlock.Parent_Key IS NOT NULL THEN OPEN c_get_rec; FETCH c_get_rec INTO v_temp; IF c_get_rec%NOTFOUND THEN MESSAGE('Invalid value entered.'); CLOSE c_get_rec; RAISE FORM_TRIGGER_FAILURE; END IF; CLOSE c_get_rec; END IF; END;
I hope that helps!

Error message for the integrity constraint
Hello
I have a table called TMREF_MEDIATION_DATA_TREATMENT and one called TMREF_UOC_CRITERIA_MAPPING. There is a foreign key constraint and the TMREF_UOC_CRITERIA_MAPPING
table contains the UID of the other column. When I select Remove form TMREF_MEDIATION_DATA_TREATMENT I get an error as expected:
ORA-02292: integrity constraint (MRS_DEV. TMREF_UOC_CRIT_TO_TREAT_FK2) violated - book of the foundling
Error
Cannot process the row in the TMREF_MEDIATION_DATA_TREATMENT table.
Ok
But is it possible that I can make this more user friendly error? I don't want to delete if there is a record of the child - it should just warn the user.
Thank you.
You can use this method:
http://Apex.Oracle.com/pls/OTN/f?p=31517:185
who is in the process of the page. However, you can also create a validation, that fires before the execution process and verify the same.
Enter an invalid number will infringe the constraint (column is a column number) and it will then call the INVALID_NUMBER exception. You can also declare with the exception of constraint on aid
child_record_not_found EXCEPTION;
PRAGMA EXCEPTION_INIT (child_record_not_found,-02292);Denes Kubicek

Apex deploy Application in the environment - ORA-02291: integrity constraint
Hi all
I do my first application export import and stumbled across a bug.
The bug causes the same error like: error application to import 4.1 and 4.2 , but my environment is different.
In short, I'm building my APEX application on itself One with APEX 4.2.4 11.2.0.4 1. The application is configured to compatible 4.2.

I get the following error, and I wonder if I need also to export the workspace for installation works, or if I do something wrong all together and just did not understand the process of export/import (deploy).

Hi Jan,
you have two options.
(1) on your system only run time, you can use the APIs of the Forum (APEX_INSTANCE_ADMIN) to manually create the workspace and the allocation of scheme.
(2) use the JAVA export utility from the command line and specify the parameter - expWorkspace and - expMinimal (/ utilities/readme.txt) to export the workspace. But please note that it will still be exported users and groups. You need to remove the generated SQL file.
Personally, I'd go with the API. It should be fairly simple. Just call APEX_INSTANCE_ADMIN. ADD_WORKSPACE when it is connected as SYS/SYSTEM or a user who has been granted the role APEX_ADMINISTRATOR_ROLE.

Integrity constraint not found parent key, insert master and detail records
Hello world
I'm creating a master and a detail to record simultaneously, using a managed bean method. I am populating the sequences of db using EL, not database triggers. So:
(1) Insert main record, the new return ID.
(2) Insert detail associated with the previous record
It works well, unless they select a foreign key between the main table and details, so I me "ORA-02291: integrity (XXXX_FK) violated constraint - key not found kinship", as it seems that the book of the child is inserted before the parent.
I would not disable the FK, but can give you advice on this topic?
Thanks in advance,
Jose.Try without defining the status of the Row.STATUS_INITIALIZED...

Indexing and the integrity constraint functionality difference
Hello
Sometimes I confuse me, how we can distinguish between indexing and the integrity of the features of constraint. Please let me know or if any available doc.
Kind regards
REDAI assume you mean unique vs unique index constraints?
The sole (or Primary Key) constraints provide additional metadata that can be used by the optimizer.
An index will be used to help the database to apply the constraint (it is created, or if there is it will be "captured" by coercion)Insofar as a document [url http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e25789/toc.htm] that's something, you should read

Hi all
I'm relatively new to oracle.
I have a table with the col A and B of neck and many other passes.
I try to apply the integrity in the table for the following scenario.
A single value in the order B cannot have multiple values of A
but the collar A can
That is to say...
A AND B
1 10 - OK
1 20 - OK
1 20 - OK. even if double is not a problem
2 10 - not OK... Since then, next 10 is already associated 1
How to apply integrity without using a trigger?
Thanks in advance.Hello
No work around.
You say "for each value of B there may be only one A. It is another table (A, B) where B is unique.
Function based index is something else, it is indexing an expression involving one or more columns (no lines).
Concatenated index is on indexing more columns in an index and would only "your worst problem."
And it's all DDL, tables, indexes, and constraints.
So, since you care about this constraint, which is a good thing - you need a second table and removed from your current table. Shouldn't be a problem, especially since you seem to indicate that neither B nor was part of PK.

validation in the form of integrity constraint?
I was wondering if it is possible to validate a form in a table, as there is no page as such item to validate.
In particular, when you try to delete something something in the form of tables, I want to check that it is not referenced in another table (forced integrity) without showing an error oracle mean to the end user.
Any help appreciated.
Van
TrentTrent,
See this [e.g.: http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=31517: 41:848139964724698]
It gives you an idea how you can access the values of bulk pl/sql tabular column. Now you can easily create new validation to verify your constraints! Don't forget to make this conditional validation so that it fires only when the DEMAND is equal to MULTI_ROW_DELETE
See you soon,.

Integrity constraint violation
Hello
I get an error message: "ORA-02292: constraint integrity... violated - child book found". "." Which is great, that there no sence to delete a record if there is a retail partner with her. But is it possible in the APEX to delete a record and registration of the child-detail by clicking on the button Delete. It is more effective to limit the user to go to another page and delete the detail/child then save back to the parent folder and delete it as well. It's too much for any end user clicks. Any help or assistance on this is appreciated, thanks.Hello Charles,
You can change the "ON DELETE CASCADE" foreign key constraint That will automatically remove all children on the removal of the parent company.

Integrity constraint? Any ideas please?
Hi I have this table with consists of 2 foreign keys;
CREATE TABLE paternity)
AuthorId VARCHAR2 (5) NOT NULL,
BtId VARCHAR2 (5) NOT NULL,
FOREIGN KEY (AuthorId) made REFERENCE to the author (AuthorId),
FOREIGN KEY (BtId) REFERENCES BookTitle (BtId));
After you create this table trying to enter data, I get; «"" "Constraint integrity ORA-02291 - key parent not found.»»»" Please can someone tell me where I was wrong.
Here are the paintings of references;
CREATE TABLE Author)
AuthorId VARCHAR2 (10) NOT NULL,
AuthorName VARCHAR2 (20).
PRIMARY KEY (AuthorId));
&
CREATE TABLE BookTitle)
BtId VARCHAR2 (5) NOT NULL,
BtName VARCHAR2 (30),
PubId VARCHAR2 (5).
NUMBER value (4.2).
PRIMARY KEY (BtId),
FOREIGN KEY (PubId) REFERENCES Editor (PubId));
Thanks for any help.Hello
When Salim said
"You must insert into the table author, Editor, BookTitle, after that you can insert into the table authors.", I don't know what he meant
«You must insert in the table of author, Editor, BookTitle * before * you can insert into the table authors.»Since BookTitle.PubId is not necessary, you do not have necessarily to insert any object in Publisher.
In other words, before you can do this:
INSERT INTO Authorship (AuthorID, BtId) VALUES ('A123', 'B987');
You must already have an author online where AuthorId = "A123", and
You must already have a line in BookTitle where BtId = "B987.Similarly, before you can do this:
INSERT INTO BookTitle (BkId, PubId) VALUES ('B987', 'P456');
You must already have a line in Publisher where PubId = "P456.

Management of constraint integrity of tables relatinships for data manipulation
Hi all
I have a requirement that I assigned, need help from any of you who will have plenty of help full for me to start up.
There are some inconsistencies of data in tables, I have to empty by deleting or in correct update.
the problem that I'm facing here is that, while updating or deleting the record in the parent table. I have to manipulte the records in the child table also because of integrity constraints. I'll be familiar with table reltionship until certain level of hierarchy.
The hierarchy is extended more than 20 and so. To correct records that I need to handle all tables with constraints of integrity on the table in my script.
Instead of writing the script to manage all tables of the child with its integrity constraints to correct the records.
Is it possible to write a script that can process all children of records from tables using integrity through all_constrainsts and column constraints in the world by managing exceptions through recurrences.
Correct me if I'm wrong mentioned above are impossible and need your suggestions!
Thank you and best regards,
Fabrice>
To update the table cuurent and so on, I integriy presales constranints and because of records children current table.
>
Unfortunately you (a man) are the only one who can determine what data you want to keep and what data you want to delete.You can not delete a PARENT row if there rowss CHILD that point by using a foreign key constraint. But you can delete any lines you want CHILD. If a child line is the 'parent' for some other lines tables then, Yes, you must go first remove these children and so on.
There is no way automatic for this than the ON DELETE CASCADE setting for the parent tables.
So the problem is usually to do things in the right order. First, create the new parent row. Then edit each of the lines 'bad' parents child to point to the new parent row. You can delete the parent row of 'bad' because it has more children.

Form master / detail - constraint integrity
Hello
I created a form master / single detail. Master block is based on say Table1 with 2 columns and block detail based on the Table2 with 4 columns.
When I am creating records using this form, I enter data in the main block and then navigate to detail block and then enter data. When I press save button,
the shape raises the error message ' ORA-02291: integrity constraint (APPS.» "FK_RECORD_IDENTIFIER) violated - key parent not found."
When I check the query using help-> Diagnostics-> display database error, the insert statement is insert into table2 values (...
I guess that the form tries to insert data into table2 first. Given that no entry in Table1, where the error. What should be done, so that the form inserts block Master data in table1 first before you try to insert data block of retail.
Concerning
SureshSuresh,
In the view of The Navigator object , check the block order under the section of data blocks . The master's block should come first, and then only the detail should come. If his is not like that, and then modify the order of the blocks by dragging the main block at the top of the blocks.
Kind regards
Manu.
