Child table linked to what Parent?

Hello,
As I am learning db management, I am at a point where I am totally lost and I feel I am getting nowhere with Google. What I am doing is deleting a field from Table_A, it tells me ORA-02292: Integreity Constraint <random.table_B_FK2> violated - Child Record Found. Well I know peopl have this all the time, I am actually trying to figure out what command I can use to quickly tell me what the table is linked to so I can go delete the item there first. Below is what I am using to try to find the Parent table. Any help is greatly appreciated.
SQL> select table_name,constraint_name
2 from user_cons_columns where column_name=(
3 select a.COLUMN_NAME from user_cons_columns a,user_constraints b
4 where a.TABLE_NAME=b.TABLE_NAME
5 and b.constraint_type in ('P')
6 and a.TABLE_NAME='TABLE_A')
7 and constraint_name like '%FK%';

Dang, I should have been able to figure that one out. Thanks a lot though!!
I guess I am still not where I need to be with my above question. While the previous answer did give me what I thought I needed, I am now realizing that it is not it. I may be actually asking the question wrong.
So when I try to delete the item and get the error with the constraint, I decide to just search by the table name to get a list of the constraints bind to it. Below is what I used.
SQL> SELECT CONSTRAINT_NAME, R_CONSTRAINT_NAME FROM USER_CONSTRAINTS
2 WHERE TABLE_NAME= '<MYTABLEHERE>';
The results were no rows selected. So I then decided to verify my table was actually listed by doing the below.
SQL> SELECT TABLE_NAME FROM USER_CONSTRAINTS
From the results, my table was not listed yet I know the table exists because I can do the below and get results.
SQL> DESCRIBE <MYTABLEHERE>
Any thoughts?

  • How to check that my table is parent table or child table before trucating

    Hi:
    say i wanted to trucate a table .the table might be a parent table or might be a child table.if its a child table then there wouldnt be any problems in truncating.
    if its a parent table the i believe i would have to diable all the foreign key constraints from the child table referring to the parent table ..my question is
    1. i have a table say ABC. before truncating how do i find out if table ABC is a parent table or not?
    2.lets assume i tried to truncate the table ABC and i got the error saying that disable the foreign keys on the child table referring to the parent table ABC.
    in my schema there are say 50 tables.out of which there might be 10 odd child tables referring to my parent table ABC.
    so my question here would be how do i specifically find out these 10child tables referring to the Parent table ABC so that i can disable the foreign keys on the child tables.
    Thanks 4 ur time in reading this and hopefully i think u wld give me a solution!!

    Hi,
    Try this SQL below:
    select r.owner, r.table_name
    from user_constraints r, user_constraints o
    where r.r_owner = o.owner and r.r_constraint_name = o.constraint_name
    and o.constraint_type in ('P','U') and r.constraint_type = 'R'
    and o.table_name = 'ABC';Cheers

  • Parent child table question

    HI i have some questions which iam unclear please help me
    1) in a parent child relationship.. is it always 1-m relation from parent to child?
    2) can a parent table be on many side? i.e can a child - parent be 1- m?
    3) if i itake employee as child table and department as parent table then dept_id will be the foreigh key in employee table ...
    Now if i want to add a new employee who is not assigned to any department can i add it ?
    4) In an identifying relationship ... a child table has concatenated primary key (pk of child,pk of parent)
    should we still add any other primary key to the table....in addition to this concatenated key?
    thanks in advance
    raj

    Hi!
    1) in a parent child relationship.. is it always 1-m relation from parent to child?
    yes unless you create a unique index on the foreign key column
    2) can a parent table be on many side? i.e can a child - parent be 1- m?
    no, if you need an n-m you will need an intersection table
    e.g. employees - emp_dept - departments
    in this case the emp_dept table would contain the foreign keys of employees and departments
    3) if i itake employee as child table and department as parent table then dept_id will be the foreigh key in employee table ...
    Now if i want to add a new employee who is not assigned to any department can i add it ?
    no, you will have to insert the master first
    Best regards,

  • SQL Server 2012 Management Studio:In the Database, how to print out or export the old 3 dbo Tables that were created manually and they have a relationship for 1 Parent table and 2 Child tables?How to handle this relationship in creating a new XML Schema?

    Hi all,
    Long time ago, I manually created a Database (APGriMMRP) and 3 Tables (dbo.Table_1_XYcoordinates, dbo.Table_2_Soil, and dbo.Table_3_Water) in my SQL Server 2012 Management Studio (SSMS2012). The dbo.Table_1_XYcoordinates has the following columns: file_id,
    Pt_ID, X, Y, Z, sample_id, Boring. The dbo.Table_2_Soil has the following columns: Boring, sample_date, sample_id, Unit, Arsenic, Chromium, Lead. The dbo.Table_3_Water has the following columns: Boring, sample_date, sample_id, Unit, Benzene, Ethylbenzene,
    Pyrene. The dbo.Table_1_XYcoordinates is a Parent Table. The dbo.Table_2_Soil and the dbo.Table_3_Water are 2 Child Tables. The sample_id is key link for the relationship between the Parent Table and the Child Tables.
    Problem #1) How can I print out or export these 3 dbo Tables?
    Problem #2) If I right-click on the dbo Table, I see "Start PowerShell" and click on it. I get the following error messages: Warning: Failed to load the 'SQLAS' extension: An exception occurred in SMO while trying to manage a service. 
    --> Failed to retrieve data for this request. --> Invalid class.  Warning: Could not obtain SQL Server Service information. An attemp to connect to WMI on 'NAB-WK-02657306' failed with the following error: An exception occurred in SMO while trying
    to manage a service. --> Failed to retrieve data for this request. --> Invalid class.  .... PS SQLSERVER:\SQL\NAB-WK-02657306\SQLEXPRESS\Databases\APGriMMRP\Table_1_XYcoordinates>   What causes this set of error messages? How can
    I get this problem fixed in my PC that is an end user of the Windows 7 LAN System? Note: I don't have the regular version of Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 in my PC. I just have the Microsoft 2012 Shell (Integrated) program in my PC.
    Problem #3: I plan to create an XML Schema Collection in the "APGriMMRP" database for the Parent Table and the Child Tables. How can I handle the relationship between the Parent Table and the Child Table in the XML Schema Collection?
    Problem #4: I plan to extract some results/data from the Parent Table and the Child Table by using XQuery. What kind of JOIN (Left or Right JOIN) should I use in the XQuerying?
    Please kindly help, answer my questions, and advise me how to resolve these 4 problems.
    Thanks in advance,
    Scott Chang    

    In the future, I would recommend you to post your questions one by one, and to the appropriate forum. Of your questions it is really only #3 that fits into this forum. (And that is the one I will not answer, because I have worked very little with XSD.)
    1) Not sure what you mean with "print" or "export", but when you right-click a database, you can select Tasks from the context menu and in this submenu you find "Export data".
    2) I don't know why you get that error, but any particular reason you want to run PowerShell?
    4) If you have tables, you query them with SQL, not XQuery. XQuery is when you query XML documents, but left and right joins are SQL things. There are no joins in XQuery.
    As for left/right join, notice that these two are equivalent:
    SELECT ...
    FROM   a LEFT JOIN b ON a.col = b.col
    SELECT ...
    FROM   b RIGHT JOIN a ON a.col = b.col
    But please never use RIGHT JOIN - it gives me a headache!
    There is nothing that says that you should use any of the other. In fact, if you are returning rows from parent and child, I would expect an inner join, unless you want to cater for parents without children.
    Here is an example where you can study the different join types and how they behave:
    CREATE TABLE apple (a int         NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
                        b varchar(23) NOT NULL)
    INSERT apple(a, b)
       VALUES(1, 'Granny Smith'),
             (2, 'Gloster'),
             (4, 'Ingrid-Marie'),
             (5, 'Milenga')
    CREATE TABLE orange(c int        NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
                        d varchar(23) NOT NULL)
    INSERT orange(c, d)
       VALUES(1, 'Agent'),
             (3, 'Netherlands'),
             (4, 'Revolution')
    SELECT a, b, c, d
    FROM   apple
    CROSS  JOIN orange
    SELECT a, b, c, d
    FROM   apple
    INNER  JOIN orange ON apple.a = orange.c
    SELECT a, b, c, d
    FROM   apple
    LEFT   OUTER JOIN orange ON apple.a = orange.c
    SELECT a, b, c, d
    FROM   apple
    RIGHT  OUTER JOIN orange ON apple.a = orange.c
    SELECT a, b, c, d
    FROM   apple
    FULL OUTER JOIN orange ON apple.a = orange.c
    go
    DROP TABLE apple, orange

  • Insert Record with Parent/Child Tables doesn't work with Oracle - unlike AC

    Hi,
    I just Migrated a MS Access 2010 Database to an Oracle 11g Backend with the SQL Developer Tool.
    The Migration went fine, all the Tables and Views are migrated.
    I'm working with MS Access as Frontend.
    The application has some Datasheets with Subdatasheets with Parent/Child Relationship. (1-n Relationship)
    After changing to Oracle, it's not possible, to Insert a new Record in a Subdatasheet I always get the following Error Message:
    "The Microsoft Access database engine cannot find a record in the table 'xxxx' with key matching field(s) 'zzzzz'"
    It used to work perfect with the MS Access Backend, do I need a trigger which first adds the child Record ?
    Or what should I do?
    Thank you

    Hi Klaus,
    Thanks for your answer. I still haven't solved my problem. The only way would be to use a singel 1:n Relationship, but in fact I need a n:m Relationship.
    I tried the same scenario with a new Access Application, same result.
    To clearify my problem.
    Goal: Parent Form with Parent Records, Linked Child Form with Child Records in a Datasheet View => Insert of a NEW Child Record.
    I have 3 Tables (table1 = Parent tabel, table2 = Child Table, table12 = n:m Tabel with PK and two FK)
    The Recordsource of the Parent Form is Tabel1
    The Recordsource of the Child Form is Table2 joined with Table12.
    In my Old Access Project, Access Triggered the Insert and filled Table12 with the NEW PK of Table2.
    It seems like Access can't do that anymore....
    I'm pretty desperate and I'm sure it is just a litte thing to fix.....

  • Update column data to Upper Case in parent and child table

    Hi ,
    I am facing issue while updating column value to upper case in parent table and child table. How can i do that ?
    when updating parent row:
    ORA-02292: integrity constraint (XXXXXXXXXXXXXX_FK) violated - child record found
    When updatng corresponding child row:
    ORA-02291: integrity constraint (XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX_FK) violated - parent key not found
    how can i update on both the places ?
    Regards,
    AA

    I am facing issue while updating column value to upper case in parent table and child table. How can i do that ?
    Why do you need to do that?
    That is just ONE of several questions you should answer before you start modifying your data.
    1. What is your 4 digit Oracle version? (result of SELECT * FROM V$VERSION)
    2. If both values are the same case what difference does it make what that case is?hen you don't need to alter your original data.
    3. What is the source of the column values you are using now? If you change your data to upper case it will no longer be identical to the source data.
    4. What is your plan for enforcing future values to be stored in UPPER case? Are you going to use a trigger? Have you written and tested such a trigger to see if it will even work the way you expect?
    5. Why aren't you using a surrogate key instead of a 'business' data item? You have just demonstrated one reason why surrogate keys can be useful: their actual value is NOT important.
    You should reexamine your problem and architecture and consider other alternatives.
    One alternative is to add a new 'surrogate key' column to use as the primary key. Just create a new sequence and use a trigger to populate the new column. Your current plans will require a trigger to perform the case conversion so instead of the just use the trigger to provide the value.
    If the change is being done to facilitate searching you could just add a VIRTUAL column UPPER_MY_COLUMN and index that instead. Then you could search on that new virtual column and the data values would still be identical to the original data source.

  • Parent - child table issue wrt to count - SQL question

    I have a scenario:
    There are 2 tables (parent and child). lets say, case summary table and task level dimension table.
    for every case id in case summary table, there would be multiple tasks in task level dim table with a flag indicator set to 1 for all tasks.
    but while counting the number of cases active with flag indicator 1 (ofcourse when joining case summary table with task dimension table), for a case id only 1 instance of task needs to be accounted (even though it has more than one task , for counting active cases, the flag ind corresponding to a task in a case if set to 1 , then the case is considered active)..but while joining and taking count of case ids with flag indicator as 1, you get the count of every task row of a case which is incorrect logically. how to discard the rest of child records of a case in child table (task dimension table)?
    I am not sure how to achieve this in sql query
    Kindly help!
    Case summary table
    case id, busininess_unit, agent_name
    1001, admin, Ram
    1002, Finance, Sam
    task table
    case id, task_id,task_name, flag_indicator
    1001, 1, 'New', 1
    1001,2, 'Open',1
    1001,3,'In progress',1
    1002, 4, 'New', 1
    (In fact task_id is not a big deal... even you can assume task id doesn't exist..only task name ... )
    now my question... if my query should get the current active cases (ind=1); as per above it should essentially give 2... but my query gives me 4..you know the reason why.. but how do i get the correct count?
    Thanks!

    may be you need just this:
    select count(distinct case_id) from task
    where indicator = 1;
    If this is not what you are looking for, please elaborate and tell us the expected output and rest of the details as mentioned in FAQ Re: 2. How do I ask a question on the forums?:

  • Parent child tables - how to maintain RI

    Here is my scenario:
    In our model, we have parent child relationship between tables.
    We are not sure how the parent tables are populated. If incremental update, it should be fine (assuming if needed rows will be inserted in the child table manually). If the tables are truncated and data is inserted again – that might be a problem since there exist relationship with child tables. What are the various options for handling such cases?
    Option1: cascade delete
    Option 2: ...?

    I'm not sure I understand the goal here...
    - Are you trying to design a data model? If so, wouldn't the business and data requirements tell you whether you need to truncate and reload the parent table or whether you can do an incremental load? It wouldn't seem to make sense to design a data model with no understanding of how the model is going to be used.
    - Are you trying to design a load process that works with an existing data model? If so, are you trying to design an incremental load? Or a load that involves a truncate and reload? Does the existing data model have foreign key constraints?
    Specifying the Oracle version and a bit of information about the application (i.e. is this an OLTP application, a data warehouse, something else) would probably also be helpful.

  • DB Adapter wizard – WHERE clause on parent and child tables not working.

    I have two tables, SECURITY and SECURITY_POSITIONS, where SECURITY has a 1:M relationship with SECURITY_POSITIONS. I used the DB-adapter wizard to create the relationship and the following WHERE clause expression which is looking at both the parent and the child tables;
    The expression builder looks like this:
    AND
    |--- 1. partitionKey EQUAL p_SearchKey
    |--- 2. securityType EQUAL “DBT”
    |--- 3. securityPositionsCollection.dealReference EQUAL “NA”
    The primary key on SECURITY = PARTITION_KEY and SECURITY_REFERENCE
    The foreign key from SECURITY_POSITIONS to SECURITY = PARTITION_KEY and SECURITY_REFERENCE
    securityType is on SECURITY table (master)
    securityPositionsCollection.dealReference is on SECURITY_POSITIONS table (child)
    The invoke on the database adapter is selecting a row in securityPositionsCollection for each child row, rather than just those with dealReference = “NA”!
    I turned on DEBUG logging in the BPEL console and I can see that there are 2 SELECT queries run (guess this is how Toplink does it!), where the 1st query appears to select the parent rows and the 2nd query selects the child rows.
    However the 2nd query is not working because it is failing to select only those child rows where dealReference = “NA”. Also, don’t know why the 2nd SELECT query needs to specify the child SECURITY_POSITIONS table twice in the FROM clause, because that seems to be causing the problem.
    1st query executed is as follows;
    SELECT DISTINCT t0.PARTITION_KEY, t0.SECURITY_REFERENCE, t0.SECURITY_TYPE
    FROM CENTRAL.SECURITY t0, CENTRAL.SECURITY_POSITIONS t1
    WHERE ((((t0.PARTITION_KEY = ?) AND (t0.SECURITY_TYPE = ?)) AND (t1.DEAL_REFERENCE = ?)) AND ((t1.SECURITY_REFERENCE = t0.SECURITY_REFERENCE) AND (t1.PARTIT
    ION_KEY = t0.PARTITION_KEY)))
    bind => [200706200000, DBT, NA]
    2nd query executed is as follows, where child table appears twice! ;
    SELECT DISTINCT t0.DEAL_REFERENCE, t0.PARTITION_KEY, t0.SECURITY_REFERENCE
    FROM CENTRAL.SECURITY_POSITIONS t0,
    CENTRAL.SECURITY_POSITIONS t2,
    CENTRAL.SECURITY t1
    WHERE ((((t0.SECURITY_REFERENCE = t1.SECURITY_REFERENCE) AND (t0.PARTITION_KEY = t1.PARTITION_KEY)) AND
    (((t1.PARTITION_KEY = ?) AND (t1.SECURITY_TYPE = ?)) AND
    (t2.DEAL_REFERENCE = ?))) AND
    ((t2.SECURITY_REFERENCE = t1.SECURITY_REFERENCE) AND
    (t2.PARTITION_KEY = t1.PARTITION_KEY)))
    bind => [200706200000, DBT, NA]
    Anyone experienced the same problem e.g. why is toplink making the query more complicated that it needs to be, because the query only needs to reference the SECURITY_POSITIONS table once, as follows;
    SELECT DISTINCT t0.DEAL_REFERENCE, t0.PARTITION_KEY, t0.SECURITY_REFERENCE
    FROM CENTRAL.SECURITY_POSITIONS t0,
    CENTRAL.SECURITY t1
    WHERE ((((t0.SECURITY_REFERENCE = t1.SECURITY_REFERENCE) AND (t0.PARTITION_KEY = t1.PARTITION_KEY)) AND
    (((t1.PARTITION_KEY = '200706200000') AND (t1.SECURITY_TYPE = 'DBT')) AND
    (t0.DEAL_REFERENCE = 'NA'))) AND
    ((t0.SECURITY_REFERENCE = t1.SECURITY_REFERENCE) AND
    (t0.PARTITION_KEY = t1.PARTITION_KEY)))

    Hello,
    It looks like you have configured your 1:M relationship to use batch reading. This causes the query to bring in the Security_Position table's objects to use the same selection criteria as was used on the initial query, with a join statement. This is more efficient in most cases as it ensures only the Security_positions needed for the Security objects to be fully built are read, in a single query.
    The selection criteria added is only used to filter out the Security objects. All referenced Security_Positions must be read in for the returned Security objects so that the data matches what is in the database. If you do not want the Security_Positions, you might try using indirection on the mapping which will delay the second query until you need the Security_Positions. Or, if you want only the Security_Positions with dealReference EQUAL “NA", you could do a query specifically to filter on them.
    Best Regards,
    Chris

  • In the parent table has a ROWID of an index of the child table FK!

    From the structure of the heap table is a problem.
    PK has a parent table.
    Child table has a FK.
    If you have FK to the parent table has a ROWID, I think in terms of speed to get the best performance.
    what do you think?
    Edited by: user5647868 on 2011. 9. 29 오후 10:46

    Of course, if the parent table FK ribildeuhal should rebuild the index.
    In reality, however, if the parent table, there were no ribildeuhaneun.
    If you need to rebuild a lot if you have a DOWNTIME.
    In some cases, even given the option to ALTER TABLE will be.
    Is the child table FK halgeot rebuild?
    FK using ROWID in the index of the parent decide to disable?
    And so on.

  • Update data to upper case in parent/child tables

    Hi Gurus!
    In production we have a product table and which is being reference by many tables making it parent child relationship. By mistake, we realized that last month some product were added in lower case and now we got a request to update all these product codes to upper case so that the existing code that use these tables have no impact. Appreciate if you can give some idea on how can I update the existing data in the parent table to upper case along with the child records?
    Regards
    Sri

    Are the product code that you need to update what is stored in the child tables? If so, then you would need to do it in several steps, something like:
    Identify the child tables
    SELECT table_name, constraint_name
    FROM user_constraints
    WHERE r_constraint_name = (SELECT constraint_name
                               FROM user_constraints
                               WHERE table_name = 'PRODUCT_TABLE' and
                                     constraint_type = 'P');Create the new upper case product code in product table:
    INSERT INTO product_table
    SELECT UPPER(product_code), other_columns
    FROM product_table
    WHERE product_code <> UPPER(product_code);Update the child tables to uppercase the product codes
    UPDATE child1
    SET product_code = UPPER(product_code)
    WHERE product_code <> UPPER(product_code);finally, delete the lower case product codes from product_table
    DELETE FROM product_table
    WHERE product_code <> UPPER(product_code);John

    Looks like the new Reference Partitioning feature in 11g is what you want. In previous versions I think you're stuck with the denormalisation.
