Adding a FK constraint to a column in an Abstract Datatype?

Hi there
I've tried to alter a table to add a foreign key constraint to a column within an abstract data type using the usual syntax, but i keep getting the following error:
ORA-00902: invalid datatype
I'm not sure if its because i'm not using the correct syntax, or simply because it cannot be done. I have a feeling it is because of the latter! Either that or i'm not referencing the ADT correctly.
If anyone knows if this can be done or not i would be greatful of any help or advice.
Thanks
Matt

Matthew,
Make sure the syntax is correct. Check out the documentation on 'Constraints for Object Tables' at http://otn.oracle.com/docs/products/oracle8i/doc_library/817_doc/appdev.817/a76976/adobjmng.htm#1002713

Adding a UNIQUE Constraint to an existing table

Hi,
I got this issue because of the existing data. My issue is in my table I want to add a unique constraint to two columns but i cannot add this becuase of the existing repeating data. And I cannot do a data repair to fix the repeating data since the customer is reling on this data so we can not get the decision to repair the data.
As a solution I try this method, by adding a function to check the repeating data before inserting the data to the table. It's working fine to a user but when it come to multiple users it's not working because users can log to the database and can do their transactions simultaneously.
My question is; is there a way in oracle to add a constraint to the data that can add in future not to the old existing data?
Thanks,
Darex.

show us what is "not working". if you are calling this function from a trigger the correct way, the first person to commit will have their data inserted and the next person will not be able to insert.

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.

Changing Time Zone (stsadm tzmove) = Error: Adding a value to a 'datetime' column caused an overflow

After updating timezone.xml и RGNLSTNG.xml files for my SharePoint 2010 (SP2 - 14.0.7015.1000)
I have to run this command to Update time zone on calendar events:
stsadm -o tzmove -name "russ2014" -update all
But this cause an error: Adding a value to a 'datetime' column caused an overflow
ULS log event: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Adding a value to a 'datetime' column caused an overflow. The statement has been terminated.
How to fix this?

Hi,
Whether you added new time zone definition to your timezone.xml
and RGNLSTNG.xml files. if not, please provide the details about what content you updated in timezone.xml and RGNLSTNG.xml files.
The stsadm.exe –o tzmove command does not work for new time zone definition changes.
This command is designed for making changes in the existing time zone,
not for creating a new time zone definition.
After you modify the Timezone.xml and Regnlstng.xml files to include the new time zone definition, you must restart Internet Information Services (IIS).
To do this, click Start, click Run, type
iisreset in the Open box, and then click
OK.
Try to do IIS restart, compare the results.

It is a pity though that they desing it to work only if you select the header of the row/column. It should be enabled to work from within any cell in the table.
Who wrote such an error ?
These interesting shortcuts behave flawlessly even if the cursor was in D18 for instance.

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'.
The statement has been terminated.

Prolem with the hgrow constraint on a Column in a GridPane

Hello,
I am displaying the following controls in a GridPane.
1. In row 1, a Label, a TextField, and a Button
2. In row 2, A Label
3. In row 3, a TextArea
4. In row 4, a Label
The complete program is at the end.
Question #1:
When I set the hgrow to ALWAYS for the first column through the statusBar Label control, the first column does not grow. Is it a bug or am I missing something in the JavaDoc to explain this behavior? When I set the hgrow constraint to ALWSY on nameLbl, it works.
Question #2:
Why is the nameLbl not getting enough width to display it completely?
Thanks

Adding SupportGroup and Classification as a column in List of Incidents report in SCSM 2012 SP1.

Hi Team,
We have a requirement to add SupportGroup and Classification as a column in the "List of Incidents" report. WE know that we need to modify the stored procedure to make these columns available in the Dataset. Or can we link 2 dataset in the tablix
in SSRS.
Regards,
Dinesh
Thanks & Regards, Dinesh

I have solved it myself by adding few lines in stored procedure. Would like to share the solution, so that it will be helpful for others.
Open the stored procedure which we are using for the default "List of Incidents" reports.
Add the below under SELECT
SupportGroup = ISNULL(TierQueuesDS.DisplayName, TierQueuesEnum.IncidentTierQueuesValue),
TierQueuesEnum.IncidentTierQueuesId AS TierQueuesId,
Classification = ISNULL(ClassificationDS.DisplayName, ClassificationEnum.IncidentClassificationValue),
ClassificationEnum.IncidentClassificationId AS ClassificationId,
Add the below under FROM
LEFT OUTER JOIN
dbo.IncidentTierQueuesvw AS TierQueuesEnum
ON TierQueuesEnum.IncidentTierQueuesId = I.TierQueue_IncidentTierQueuesId
LEFT OUTER JOIN
dbo.DisplayStringDimvw TierQueuesDS
ON TierQueuesEnum.EnumTypeId=TierQueuesDS.BaseManagedEntityId
AND TierQueuesDS.LanguageCode = @LanguageCode
LEFT OUTER JOIN
dbo.IncidentClassificationvw AS ClassificationEnum
ON ClassificationEnum.IncidentClassificationId = I.Classification_IncidentClassificationId
LEFT OUTER JOIN
dbo.DisplayStringDimvw ClassificationDS
ON ClassificationEnum.EnumTypeId=ClassificationDS.BaseManagedEntityId
AND ClassificationDS.LanguageCode = @LanguageCode
Then open the report from Report Builder and add new column in the design. Add Support Group and Classification as a column in the report.
Thanks & Regards, Dinesh

Foreign key constraint on multi-column primary key accepts 1 empty column!?

Hi, we have a reference table with a two-column primary key. In the child table there is a non-mandatory foreign key constraint to this table. So if both child columns are null it's ok too. But now we see that if one of the two child table columns that build up the foreign key is null, the other column can have any (non-existant in the master-tabel) value you like!? That does not make sense.
Can anyone explain this to me???
Regards, Paul.

Paul, I believe that this is in accordance to the ANSI SQL standard requirement for the treatment of nulls in a multi-column FK. In any case Oracle specifically states this is the way FK work From the 10 Concepts manual, Ch 21 Data Integrity, topic Nulls and Foreign Keys:
The relational model permits the value of foreign keys either to match the referenced primary or unique key value, or be null. If any column of a composite foreign key is null, then the non-null portions of the key do not have to match any corresponding portion of a parent key. <<HTH -- Mark D Powell --
