Adding a check constraint

Hi,
I wish to add a CHECK constraint checking for the presence of '@' symbol on a column with email ids.How to set it . Please guide.

ALTER TABLE testmail
ADD CONSTRAINT chk_email_id CHECK
(REGEXP_LIKE(mail_id, '[A-Z0-9._%-]+@[A-Z0-9._%-]+\.[A-Z]{2,4}'));

  • Check constraint from domain missing after generation

    Hi,
    I've got the following problem with designer 10g. When I create a column and specify a specific domain, then generate the scripts for 10g (or 8i,9,...) the check constraints that is specified in the domain goes missing. The strange part is that we have about 50 domains and 49 of them work perfect but one of them just doesn't want to be generated. I've been comparing the domain to the others but I don't see any major differences that would cause the problem. Anyone know what could cause the problem or where I should (I think it is somewhere in the design & generate part) ?
    Help would be greatly appreciated.

    Kent,
    in the DM v3.3.0.747 I have defined domains using value lists that lets you specify data values for the domain instead of define a check constraint, example Domain Name: "YesNo" and Value List -> "Y", "N".
    After adding a new column and set with the domain created, I force to apply the standard names to table with the button "Naming Rules", and the constraint created is correctly named . Notice that I need to force to apply the standard names because by default these constraints are created without name.
    Now I checked create a domain with check constraint definition for 11g (instead of using a list of values) and the behavior was the same.
    I recently upgraded to version 4.0EA2 and it works in the same way for both, so see if forcing to apply the "naming rules" solves your issue.

  • Invalid check constraint - cleaning up

    Hi,
    Is there a way to get rid of an invalid check constraint after attempting to add it to a Workspace Manager enabled table?
    If I do the following on Oracle 10.2.0.1:
    create table table1 ( id number(20) not null, data varchar2(50), primary key (id));
    exec dbms_wm.enableversioning('TABLE1');
    insert into table1 values ( 1, 'a' );
    exec dbms_wm.beginddl('TABLE1');
    alter table table1_lts add check ( id > 1);
    exec dbms_wm.commitddl('TABLE1');
    I get "cannot validate (BR.SYS_C00580318) - check constraint violated", which is expected. However, at this point the table1_lts is gone so the ddl operation cannot be rolled back. If I retry the commit, ignoring errors:
    exec dbms_wm.commitddl('TABLE1',TRUE);
    the ddl operation completes, but the check constraint is still present in user_wm_constraints. If I then do the following:
    exec dbms_wm.beginddl('TABLE1');
    exec dbms_wm.commitddl('TABLE1');
    I get "cannot validate (BR.SYS_C00580318_LTS) - check constraint violated" so it appears to retry adding the invalid constraint. I've also tried dropping the constraint again during the second ddl operation. This prevents the second error but the constraint still hangs around in user_wm_constraints.
    One thing I might be missing is some sort of cleanup step, after the first commitddl, that would get rid of the constraint completely. Is there some sort of extra operation I should be doing at this point?

    Hi,
    The metadata is out of sync because of the statement that got skipped during the initial commitDDL. This can be fixed by verifying that the constraint does not exist on the _LT table and then executing the following while logged in as someone with system privileges:
    SQL> delete wmsys.wm$constraints_table where owner='<versioned_table_owner>' and constraint_name='<user_defined_constraint>' ;
    We can add a check to verify the constraint during commitDDL to prevent this situation in the future.

    Ben

  • Primary key and relevant not null check constraints....

    Hi ,
    There are some constraints of primary key type and not null check constraints on columns which constitute each primary key....
    Should I/Do I have to drop them....????
    Do they burden the db at the time of data validation....????
    Thanks...

    Hi,
    >>There are some constraints of primary key type and not null check constraints on columns which constitute each primary key..
    In fact, a column that constitutes a primary key, by default cannot accept NULL values. In this case, defines a PK column as NOT NULL would not be necessary.

  • DB Diagram: Modality Difference between NOT NULL and check constraint

    Hi,
    I am using jdev 11g (11.1.1.10) I am trying to create a db diagram from two tables. I have a FK that is NOT NULL (defined on the column). When i try to display these two tables modality, it does not show up in the diagram. I noticed that there are two ways NOT null can be defined on a table (right click on the db object to edit it; a) under column definitions there is a check box for not null, b) there is a check constraint that one can add to do not null.
    I am confused and was wondering whether I must I have check constraints on the database in order to display modality (optional versus mandatory). Logically speaking it does not make any sense though.

    Hi Susan,
    Thanks for your email. I understand that in order to show modality under
    UML notation, one must define a COLUMN being NOT NULL instead of defining a check constraint.
    I still do not understand how modality (optional versus mandatory) is shown in ERD notation in JDev. I tried flipping ERD/UML notations and made sure icons for tables were showing, but no MODALITY is shown in ERD notation ( an '0" icon or a "|" icon for optional and mandatory). Is it the solid line versus dotted line in the ERD diagram? I am confused because generally under Crawfoot ERD notation '0" icon or a "|" icon is shown for modality.
    Modality gets picked up in jdev diagram when COLUMN not null is specified and UML notation is used
    ALTER TABLE DETAILAJ MODIFY EMPID not null;
    Modality does not get picked up in jdev db diagram when check constraint is specified and UML notation is used
    ALTER TABLE DETAILAJ
    ADD CONSTRAINT CK_NN_DETAILAJ__EMPID CHECK(EMPID IS NOT NULL) ;
    Another question i have related to the matter mentioned above is as follows. Since I want to see modality in db diagram, it follows that I must define a column as not null instead of a check constraint. I must also use NO VALIDATE on NOT NULL column because i have prior data that does not meet the new restriction. I noticed that if i use the following syntax to define a NOT NULL column, two things happen.
    a) A constraint is defined as not null automatically and a system generated name is given to the constraint.
    b) DB diagram in Jdev does not show the modality.
    My question is whether there is a way to see modality in this case.
         alter table DETAILAJ
         MODIFY EMPID NOT NULL ENABLE NOVALIDATE ;

    Restrictions on CHECK Constraints
    A CHECK constraint requires that a condition be true or unknown for every row of the table. If a statement causes the condition to evaluate to false, then the statement is rolled back. The condition of a CHECK constraint has these limitations:
    * The condition must be a boolean expression that can be evaluated using the values in the row being inserted or updated.
    * The condition cannot contain subqueries or sequences.
    * The condition cannot include the SYSDATE, UID, USER, or USERENV SQL functions.
    * The condition cannot contain the pseudocolumns LEVEL or ROWNUM.
    * The condition cannot contain the PRIOR operator.
    ** The condition cannot contain a user-defined function.*

  • How to add a check constraint to a column to accept values in the following format: "L214"?

    All I could come up with is this:
    check (column_name like '____');
    But That doesn't enforce the first character to be a letter and the other three to be numbers.

    Hi,
    "PS: Why the f***you have so many subforums here?"
    Because it is much easier to seperate and let experts answer to specific details of SQL Server. SQL Server is not a small product as many people think ;-)
    Here is the solution:
    CREATe table SampleA (A INT, B VARCHAR(MAX) CHECK (B LIKE '[A-Z][0-9][0-9][0-9]'))
    INSERT INTO SampleA VALUES (1,'0000')
    Msg 547, Level 16, State 0, Line 2
    The INSERT statement conflicted with the CHECK constraint "CK__SampleA__B__38B96646". The conflict occurred in database "master", table "dbo.SampleA", column 'B'.
    The statement has been terminated.
    INSERT INTO SampleA VALUES (1,'L000')
    --(1 row(s) affected)
    INSERT INTO SampleA VALUES (1,'L0001')
    Msg 547, Level 16, State 0, Line 2
    The INSERT statement conflicted with the CHECK constraint "CK__SampleA__B__38B96646". The conflict occurred in database "master", table "dbo.SampleA", column 'B'.

  • How to modify a CHECK constraint.

    We need to modify a check constraint to allow new values. Is there a way we can modify the existing constraint or should we drop and recreate including new values.
    Example:
    We have a table SLOG and SNO is a column accepting numeric values. Currently there is a constraint on this column so that it accepts values of 1,2,3,4. Now I want to insert a value of 5 to this column. Since there is a CHECK constraint on this column it prevents the value of 5.
    So the constraint needs to be modified. Is there a way we can modify the constraint using a DDL command (like ALTER TABLE) or should I drop and re create the constraint.
    Thanks in advance.
    Balaji

    Hello,
    Is there a way we can modify the constraint using a DDL command You can just MODIFY the state of your constraint ( constraint_state ).
    So, if you want to modify the definition of your constraint you have to drop and create the CHECK constraint with its new definition.
    Sorry, when I was writing my post, I didn't see the question was already answered.

    I know i can handle this problem with dividing table c into to tables and creating foreign key relationship.
    in this demo case i have only a and b, 2 tables but i want to encode thousands of tables with a table like c.
    &#304;s it possible to create a dynamic check constraint on a table which selects c table for the inputs that have permision?
    Or do i have to use after insert, update triggers on table a and b to ensure this functionality?
    Is there a smarter implementation for this need, may be a design change?

  • EA2: Code is generated for only one column with Domain check constraint.

    I created a Domain with a Value List (Y or N - Yes or No) and used that domain for two columns in the same table. But for only one column (the last one) the check appears in the generated DDL.
    After I enabled the "Use Domain Constraints" both checks appear in the DDL, but one as an inline check constraint and one as an "Alter table add contraint.."
    Once I changed the naming Template for the check constraint, both constraints are generated as an Alter table clause. The inline check constraint is only generated when the name of the constraint (according to the template) is too long. It would be nice if I could choose if I want an inline or a separate check constraint definition.

  • Using a function in a check constraint

    Hi,
    I created a domain table(id, code, domain_code, description) and foreign keys to this table. To ensure that a valid domain is put in the column I created a function that returns a boolean and has two parameters (id and domain_code). It returns true if the id and domain belong together.
    I want to know if it is possible to create a check constraint which validates the data in the refering table with the data in the domain table.
    Does anyone know if this is possible? Or do I have to use a db-trigger?
    Regards,
    Romano

  • Issue in adding not null constraint on 250 G  table with 50 million rows.

    Guys,
    I need to add not null constraint on 2 column of a table with 50 million rows and ~250 GB in size, These 2 columns are newly added and I have also update the value for each of these columns to not null for each row.
    After that I am adding not null constraint on these 2 columns this is taking 1 hour to complete, Is there any way to speed up this, I don't want to use ENABLE NOVALIDATE option or rather I can't use that option.

Presumably, this is a one time operation, and it doesn't really interfere with anything else.

  • Urgent Check Constraint Error

    hi
    i have a check constraint on a table B mean Nvl(Quantity,0)>=0 but when i update a table from a trigger on insertion of another table A
    with :New.Quantity -ive it gives check constraint error.
    Please Note it does not turn the balance into negative for table B
    second because im inserting in table A then :new.quantity reffers to table A values not the table B
    why this constraint error appears.
    any body suggest
    thanks in advance

    So you have a constraint on table B and then a trigger on table A attempts to update table B with a negative quantity which violates the constraint and it throws a constraint error.
    That sounds right to me. What's the problem?

  • Check Constraint names aren't synced when engineering to logical

    Just learned about this tool at OOW and ran into an issue involving check constraint names being compared but not synced when engineering from the relational model to the logical model. When I set the constraint names in the logical model (and perform one last "Engineer to Logical Model") after that the compare dialog shows the table and entities match. Is this a bug?
    Steps to reproduce:
    1. importing a relational data model from data dictionary which contains a table with a column level check constraint
    2. perform "Engineer to Logical model" to produce the logical model
    Issue:
    Perform another "Engineer to Logical model" which will show the table with the column level check constraint as being out of sync with the logical model's equivalent entity, when you drill down into the diff in the compare dialog box you see the check constraint name has a value in the relational model and the name is null in the logical model
    Verify:
    Looking in logical model at the constraint (<Entity>/Attributes/Attribute Properties/Default and Constraint/Constraint Name) the value is empty
    Work Around:
    Set the constraint name in the spot from verify above and perform "Engineer to Logical model" twice. The first time it will show the same issue, the second time it will show the table and entity match

    Hi Bo,
    thanks for feedback. It's fixed now and you'll get the fix in version 3.0.
    Another( probably better workaround) - in engineering dialog - "Compare/Copy options" tab - uncheck "Don't use for new objects" option.
