Create foreign keys to delete child records

I am unfamiliar with foreign keys, I have 3 tables one is the parent table if a record is deleted in the parent table I would like the record to be deleted from the child record but I think that I am also confused about which should be the parent table
(purpose is to use in a form)
parent table (i think)
AdminEntry table
entryid ,
date1,
date1desc,
date2,
date2desc,
date3,
date3desc
In a form each date and its description is placed in the following table
CalendarEntry table
calendarid,
date,
datedesc
entryid (fk)?
so CalendarEntry will have many entries at least 3 from one entryId, this I get but what if I want to delete lets say date2 and date2desc record. If I delete it from AdminEntry table how will calendarEntry table know which one to delete?
Please help very confused.
(the other table also inserts to the CalendarEntry table)

There is a demo of this functionality in Morgan's Library at www.psoug.org under Foreign Keys.
Look for ON DELETE CASCADE.

Delete child record

hi is there a quikestt way i can delete child record of the parent table,lets say i have 100 record in child record related to one parent how can i delete the 100 record in smart way not by deleting one by one vale

You coluld find it easily by googling..
create table test_dept(dept_id number primary key,dep_name varchar2(50));
create table test_emp(emp_id number primary key,
dept_id number references test_dept on delete cascade,emp_name varchar2(50));

Unable to create foreign key: InvalidArgument=Value of '0' is not valid for 'index'. Parameter name: index

I am running an SQL(CE) script to create a DB. All script commands succeed, but the DB get "broken" after creating the last costaint: after running the script, viewing table properties of Table2 and clicking on "Manage relations" gives the following error: Unable to create foreign key: InvalidArgument=Value of '0' is not valid for 'index'. Parameter name: index. Wondering what does that refer to...
Here it is the script. Please note that no error is thrown by running the following queries (even from code that passing the queries by hand, one-by-one to sql server management studio).
CREATE TABLE [table1] (
[id_rubrica] numeric(18,0) NOT NULL
, [id_campo] numeric(18,0) NOT NULL

I know this is kind of old post, but did this realy solved your problem?
I'm getting this same error message after adding a FK constraint via UI on VS2008 Server Explorer.
I can add the constraint with no errors, but the constraint is not created on the DataSet wizard (strongly typed datasets on Win CE 6) and when I click "Manage Relations" on the "Table Properties" this error pop out:
"InvalidArgument=Value or '0' is not valid for 'index'.
Parameter name: index"
Even after vreating my table with the relation in SQL the same occurs:
CREATE TABLE pedidosRastreios (
    idPedidoRastreio INT NOT NULL IDENTITY PRIMARY KEY,
    idPedido INT NOT NULL CONSTRAINT FK_pedidosRastreios_pedidos REFERENCES pedidos(idPedido) ON DELETE CASCADE,
    codigo NVARCHAR(20) NOT NULL

How to create foreign key automatically?

I am writing to seek help, in regards creating foreign key automatically, when I insert data into my ''price'' table. I have 2 tables, one called prices and names. the relationship between them, if that one name can have many prices and one price
can have many names (many-to-many). Hence, i have junction table called "Name_Prices", as shown below in the sample database schema:
Names
name_id [pk]
name
type
UploadDate
Prices
Price_id [pk]
name_id [fk]
price
uploadDate
Name_Prices
name_id REFERENCE names (name_id)
price_id REFERENCE prices (price_id)
PRIMARY KEY (name_id, price_id)
The price's data input comes in as CSV file everyday. (please see the example below) :
name name_type price UploadDate
ALBA MBS 93.5 17/10/2014
ALESC Trup 58 17/10/2014
ALESC Trup 52 17/10/2014
My desire goal/output is to be able to create a functionality, where I can insert the price's data into the database (''prices''), it will automatically insert foreign key in the price
table (from the names table), and if there is a new price's name, then the database will create a new name id for it, in the name's table, transferring the name, its type, from the CSV input data.
In order to achieve this task, where would I start implementing this logic?(in SQL server or application-side) what steps does this involve and is this task achievable, all in sql server side (i.e. store procedure, functions etc..).
Apology in advance, if the question is not clear to understand, i happy to follow up with further questions, if required.
Any help would be very appreciated. Many thanks

As noted above, I modified the design:
Products
Product_id [pk]
Product
type
UploadDate
Prices
Price_id [pk]
price
uploadDate
Product_Prices
Product_id REFERENCE Products (Product_id)
price_id REFERENCE prices (price_id)
PRIMARY KEY (Product_id, price_id)

Problem in deleting child record

Hi,
I have a requirement to remove the child records.
I have two database tables (without any foreign key or database constraints). I have created EOs (ParentEO and ChildEO) and Association. I have created view objects (ParentVO with a transient attribute called "SelectFlag" and ChildVO) based on EOs.
I have created a MollyViewLink and created Application module (MollyAM) .VOs are associated with AM.
For detail records, I have created delete icon and I have written below code to handle the deleteChild event in detail region's controller:
public void processFormRequest(OAPageContext pageContext, OAWebBean webBean)
super.processFormRequest(pageContext, webBean);
if ("deleteChild".equals(pageContext.getParameter(EVENT_PARAM)))
MollyAMImpl am = (MollyAMImpl)pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean);
String rowReference = pageContext.getParameter(OAWebBeanConstants.EVENT_SOURCE_ROW_REFERENCE);
System.out.println("Child ROW Reference =="+rowReference);
MollyUserDetailsVORowImpl voRow = (MollyUserDetailsVORowImpl)am.findRowByRef(rowReference);
String parentID = voRow.getId().toString();
System.out.println("ID is : "+ parentID);
voRow.remove();
System.out.println("Child row deleted successfully...");
am.getTransaction().commit();
When I click on delete icon at child record, I get below SOP messages:
Child ROW Reference ==MollyAM.MollyUserDetailsVO_MollyViewLink_MollyUserDetailsVO:MollyUserDetailsVO_MollyViewLink_MollyUserDetailsVO_0{null}
ID is : 52
Child row deleted successfully...
Child record is also being removed from UI. But when I query the database, I can still see the records there. For me, it seems like commit is not affecting the child table.
Similar code to delete the parent record is working fine.
Thanks!!!

Deleting Child Records

I'm a bit confused on how to accomplish the deletion of child records in a master/detail relationship.
I have a master table and a child table. I created a foreign link between the tables. On my detail table, I have a Delete button, which I would like to use for removing child records. I understand for the master table, I will need to enable cascade delete to remove the master and all children records.
Whenever I try to delete a child record I get the following error, integrity constraint - violated child record found. I understand the error, but how can I remove a single child record without deleting the master record. For example, I may have a 1 master record and 20 child records. I only want to remove one of the child records. The deletion seems to work fine when using AppModule or SQL Developer. Thanks.

Thanks Surendrams. Your question made me take another closer look. Apparently, I was calling the Delete operation from the master table. I added another Delete operation in the Bindings from my child table and the deletion is now working. I should have caught this the first time. Thanks.

Deleting Child records which are not associated to any parent

Hi
We have seen that in the application though the Activty records has been deleted the child records like sample dropped and the roduct details has remained in the system. This happened cos in R18 when contact was deleted activty got deleted but the Activity child records remained in the application.
we found that child records are present by looking into record utilization.
Wanted to know if there is any way to delete these child records from teh application cos we are unable to query for them from UI as well as via webservices.
any pointers would be helpful.
-MR

There is not a reporting subject area or folder available on Books. The workaround we employed was to create a field on the entity that was assigned books and that field was checked when the books were assigned. We are using web services to assign books and the web services also updates the field "Books Assigned". This gives us a way of reporting on that field to see those records without book assigned.

Syntax for creating foreign key across users in a database

There are two user present A,B.They are granted all privileges.Now in USER A, there is a table PARENT whose primary key is PARENT_NO.In USER B I have created a table CHILD whose primary key is CHILD_NO.
In the CHILD table of USER B, I want to create a foreign key relation to the PARENT table of USER A.For this I have created a column CHILD_PARENT_NO in the CHILD table.If anybody knows the syntax please post the syntax for creating the required foreign key relationship?

Please post your code. Cut'n'paste from SQL*Plus like this...
SQL> conn a/a
Connected.
SQL> desc t1
Name                                      Null?    Type
COL1                                               NUMBER
COL2                                               VARCHAR2(10)
SQL> grant references on t1 to b;
Grant succeeded.
SQL> conn b/b
SQL> create synonym a_t for a.t1;
Synonym created.
SQL> alter table test add constraint fk foreign key (n) references a_t(col1);
Table altered.
SQL> Note that Oracle will translate the synonym anyway...
SQL> select constraint_name, r_owner, r_constraint_name
2 from user_constraints
3 where table_name = 'TEST'
4 /
CONSTRAINT_NAME R_OWNER R_CONSTRAINT_NAME
FK              A       T1_PK
SQL> By the way, this ...
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES TO B;... is a mindbendingly unsafe way of proceeding. In real life you would have given user B the power to utterly destroy your database. It's always easier to start with good habits than to break bad ones so please get used to granting only the minimum set of privileges necessary.
Cheers, APC

Chaging primary key value when child record present

Please tell me how to change the primary key value when it's child record is present.

Well something like INSERT new primary key, UPDATE child records, DELETE old primary key would seem fairly obvious.
Using deferrable constraints may make the process rather simpler.
If on the other hand you are looking for UPDATE cascade functionality, Tom Kyte has an article regarding implementing this.

Foreign-key autocreation in child table giving issue in the application

Hi,
I am facing an issue with partitioning a table that foreign key relationship is created on the original table with interim table. This gives exception in the application because of its existence. Please suggest me how to get rid of this issue.
Let's say my table T_TABLENAME has to be partitioned. It has a child table T_CHILD_TABLENAME which references (FK_T1) ID column of T_TABLENAME.
While partitioning, COPY_TABLE_DEPENDENTS function copies/creates the key/index/trigger objects for the interim table. [I need copy_constraints => TRUE in COPY_TABLE_DEP call], Fine.
But, after partitioning is done, the foreign key (TMP$$_FK_T1) object exists with the child table which should absolutely not happen as this forms dependency with interim table as well along with parent table.
Here my script goes:
i) Creating interim table
CREATE TABLE T_TABLENAME_PT

Thanks for your information. I am using Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.1.0.2.0 - 64bit.
1) I am logging the exceptions in a logger table.
2) If CAN_REDEF_TABLE gives exception, flow goes to the final EXCEPTION block and program terminates. So if no exceptions, the other steps comes into the flow of execution.

==> NOW THE ISSUE
My child table T_SOH_SUBREQ_LINKED_INST_ADDR is having another foreign key column TMP$$_FK_T_SOH_SUBREQ_LIN4 with the interim table T_SOH_SUBREQ_INSTALL_ADDR_PT.

Create Foreign Keys between two Schemata

Hello,
I use Oracle 10g and I trying to create a ForeignKey constraint between two tables in different schemata.
This is my DDL-Script
SQL> CREATE TABLE PROJECT.LOCATION (
ID INTEGER NOT NULL,
MAIN INTEGER,
KURZ VARCHAR(40),
NAME VARCHAR(40),
STRASSE VARCHAR(40),
ORT VARCHAR(40),
TELEFON VARCHAR(40),
FAX VARCHAR(40),
EMAIL VARCHAR(40),
PLZ VARCHAR(40),
CONSTRAINT PK_LOCATION PRIMARY KEY (ID)
Tablespace PROJECT;
CREATE TABLE Diary.Diary (
ID INTEGER NOT NULL,
LOCATION_ID INTEGER NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT PK_Diary PRIMARY KEY (ID)
Tablespace Diary;
ALTER TABLE Diary.Diary
ADD CONSTRAINT FK_Diary_Has_LOCATION
FOREIGN KEY (LOCATION_ID) REFERENCES PROJECT.LOCATION (ID);
This is the Message that gives my SQLplus :
SQL> ALTER TABLE Diary.Diary
2 ADD CONSTRAINT FK_Diary_Has_LOCATION
3 FOREIGN KEY (LOCATION_ID) REFERENCES PROJECT.LOCATION (ID);
FOREIGN KEY (LOCATION_ID) REFERENCES PROJECT.LOCATION (ID)
FEHLER in Zeile 3:
ORA-00942: Tabelle oder View nicht vorhanden
All Grants (select,alter,references) are given to the User for the tables.
Whats then Problem?

You miss some priviledge:
