Create Foreing Key to one table in different dataBase

Hi, I need create a reference to one table in other database. I understand that Database Link can be used to connect me to other database but when I am creating the foreing key in my table, I can see only the tables in the schemas that have my data base not the other schemas. I created a connection with database link but I do not see the form to make reference to this connection from the create table wizard. I am using Oracle 9i and the client is 9.01.01.
Thanks in advance,
Mónica Alarcón

We cannot use tables in another table to enforce data integrity. This makes a lot of sense if you think about what would happen if the remote database goes down.
If you want to do this, then you need to use replication (materilaized view) to bring the parent table's data into the locaL database.

How to create a view between two table under different database?

thx

Assuming the different database is Oracle, you'll probably need to create a 'dblink'. Researching that topic should get you where you need to go.

How to create a view consisting of data from tables in2 different databases

Using Oracle 10.2g
I have 2 databases Gus and haggis on Comqdhb schema.

Create view in your HAGGIS database which will join all of the exam grades together. You should have one view which will produce the following relation :
examGrade(upn, subject, examlevel, sn, grade,academicYear)
so I need to create a view which gets the data from both the tables in both the databases.
create view as examGrade(upn, subject, examlevel, sn, grade,academicYear) as select s.upn
But i am not getting how to select a column from 2 tables in different databases
I mean if i said
select upn from comqdhb.student@glink,comqdhb.student;
select upn from comqdhb.student@glink,comqdhb.student
ERROR at line 1:

Another problem i am having which i am trying to solve and written up my ideas but haven't been getting the expected results.Hope you can help.Thank you.
Information:
=======
All children take exams at the age of 16 called a General Certificate of SecondaryEducation (GCSE).
They have to study and take exams in Mathematics, English and Science, and can take other subjects such as History, French, Art etc. Most students will study between 5 and 10 different subjects before taking their GCSEs.
For each exam, a student is awarded a grade from A*, A, B,C,D,E,F,G,U,X An A* grade is the best grade achievable and an X is the worst grade.
In order to analyze how students have performed, each grade is mapped to a numeric value as follows:
Grade Numerical score
A* 8
A 7
B 6
C 5
D 4
E 3
F 2
G 1
U 0
X 0
Now why i need this avgGCSE is because i have to create a view containing avgGCSE of the students it is used in the next question where a condition is avgGCSE is between 6.5 and 7
In order to calculate the avgGCSE the idea is to calculate the grades of the students and map the grades to their corresponding scores/values
add them all up and div by the total no of grades to get the avg.

I have a opinion that xgcse in STUDENT table refers to the avgGCSE which i want to calculate as when i asked my professor as to what xgcse he said that he forgot to take it out of the table and it is not necessary while creating avggcse.

===========================================================================
1386 STEPHANIE AANNESSON 15-JAN-79 f none 6.88873 2 2 so if xgcse is the avgGCSE then upn 1011 has avggcse<6.5 and 1386 has avggcse >6.5
my idea was backward strategy like so now if we find out upn 1368 has suppose xgcse(avggcse)>6.5 how to extract the avggcse for the particular upn We need to map grades from GRADEVALUES to grade in STUDENTINGROUP and map upn from studentingroup to upn in student to output the values for the corresponding grades from GRADEVALUES
select grade
from comqdhb.studentingroup@glink
where upn = 1011;
Result:

But the xgcse for upn 1011 is 3.935 and i am getting 4!! maybe xgcse isn't avggrade but ? is the procedure by me correct for calculating avggcse
select grade

Is it possible to display one table on different sheets?

I'd like to use one table on different sheets.
On these sheets are also other tables, but one should be the same on each sheet.
Is this possible?

You can make one table refer to (take data from) another.
Here is a simple example where I made a table named "Source" and duplicated the table and named is "Destination-1".
the table "Destination-1" refers to table 1 like this:
A1=Source :: A1
copy cell A1 in the table "Destination-1" , then select ALL cells using the menu item "Edit > Select All", then paste
you may now duplicate this table to make additional "copies" as needed. To duplicate a table, select the table, then select the menu iten "Edit > Duplicate"
NOTE: you should be aware that data flows FROM the table "Source" to the destination tables-- NOT the other way.

What is the best practice for creating primary key on fact table?

what is the best practice for primary key on fact table?
1. Using composite key
2. Create a surrogate key
3. No primary key
In document, i can only find "From a modeling standpoint, the primary key of the fact table is usually a composite key that is made up of all of its foreign keys."
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e16579/logical.htm#i1006423
I also found a relevant thread states that primary key on fact table is necessary.
Primary Key on Fact Table.
But, if no business requires the uniqueness of the records and there is no materilized view, do we still need primary key? is there any other bad affect if there is no primary key on fact table? and any benifits from not creating primary key?

Well, natural combination of dimensions connected to the fact would be a natural primary key and it would be composite.
Having an artificial PK might simplify things a bit.
Having no PK leads to a major mess. Fact should represent a business transaction, or some general event. If you're loading data you want to be able to identify the records that are processed. Also without PK if you forget to make an unique key the access to this fact table will be slow. Plus, having no PK will mean that if you want to used different tools, like Data Modeller in Jbuilder or OWB insert / update functionality it won't function, since there's no PK. Defining a PK for every table is a good practice. Not defining PK is asking for a load of problems, from performance to functionality and data quality.

Two Primary keys on one table

We are at the end of completing a project and we ran into a last minute bug. We are using two primary keys on a table to form a unique key. The problem we have is the program hangs up and gives us the following error,
ORA-20001: Error in DML: p_rowid=CUA, p_alt_rowid=SIT_ID, p_rowid2=, p_alt_rowid2=. ORA-01422: exact fetch returns more than requested number of rows,
probably meaning we only have one key setup in the DML
processing when our table has two.
we created a process with the Primary key set up in the DML but how does the secondary key column value work and is that what it's used for,because we tryed with no success. Is there a way around this problem without having to change our table by inserting only one primary key.
Thanks in advance.

I am facing a similar problem , I used the two primary keys for navigating to the form page (forms with reports) so that the form page may display distinct records.
Its not posing any error but its not showing the value of other columns associated with that record.
Only the columns contained in the page item in the form page , that's are used as primary keys or that have been specified in the navigation part of the report page, are being shown ,
Like for example I have got 5 columns
a,b,c,d,e out of which a and b are my primary keys .
I am using these to fetch values in the form page of forms with reports.
We can specify three keys at the most , in my case I am having two , if in place of the third key I specify some column then in the form page it displays the correct record details of the three columns specified( 2 keys and one simple column), and it doesn't displays the value of other columns.
Please help me out of this .

Create a variable in one table based on a value on another.

I have two existing tables, say TABLE1 and TABLE2. I need to create a key variable in TABLE2 and insert values for that variable from TABLE1 i.e. create an explicit relationship between the tables using a key variable. There exists a relationship
between the tables in that for each record in TABLE1 there are 28 records in TABLE2 and the records are arranged in sequential order. So:
TABLE1 TABLE2
REQUIREMENT
RECORD 1 -->
RECORDS 1 to 28 Copy key variable from RECORD1 in TABLE1 into RECORDS 1 to 28 in TABLE2
RECORD 2 -->
RECORDS 29 to 56 Copy key variable from RECORD2 in TABLE1 into RECORDS 29 to 56 in TABLE2
RECORD 3 -->
RECORDS 57 to 84 Copy key variable from RECORD3 in TABLE1 into RECORDS 57 to 84 in TABLE2
RECORD n--> RECORDS (n-1) * 28 + 1 to n * 28
Copy key variable from RECORD n in TABLE1 into RECORDS (n-1) * 28 + 1 to RECORDS n * 28 in TABLE2
Please help if you can. I am prepared to give any additional information when asked.

Create tables in different database schemas using EJB 3 Entity Persistent

Hi All,
I would like to find out how to get the following tasks done using EJB 3.0 Java Entity Persistent:
( i ) Create tables in different schemas such as STUDENT under EDUCATION schema and table PATIENT in HOSPITAL schema. We can then reference them in SQL as EDUCATION.STUDENT and HOSPITAL.PATIENT.
( ii ) Reference these tables uniquely once they are created.
There are no pre-existing tables or naming conventions that needs to be adhere to in this situation.
I have no problem creating tables on the current schema in EJB 3.0 Java Entity Persistent.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jack

Use the schema attribute of the Table annotation:

public @interface Table
   String name( ) default "";
   String catalog( ) default "";
   String schema( ) default "";
   UniqueConstraint
uniqueConstraints( ) default {};

How many primary keys for one table?can we add more primary keys

In general Table have one primary key.is it possible to more than one primary key in a table?(ie is it possible to add more than one pirmary key in a table). Help me out.

All the key fields of a table must be stored together at the beginning of the table. A non-key field may not occur between two key fields.
A maximum of 16 key fields per table is permitted. The maximum length of the table key is 255.
If the key length is greater than 120, there are restrictions when transporting table entries. The key can only be specified up to a maximum of 120 places in a transport. If the key is larger than 120, table entries must be transported generically.

How to join tables from different databases (DBLink/DB connection )

Hello,
i have an issue and i hope you could help me to solve it. My problem is: I want to create native sql select which joins two tables from different DB (both of them are ORACLE, one of them internal, another one - external). I have found several notes and posts, but without any success. Db connection exists in dbcon table, so this part of my problem has been solved.
I would like something like that:
select * from table1@xxx inner join table2.
i can not split this select into two separate ones, because both tables store over 30 mln. entries and i do not want to create any copies of them.

Dealing with tables from different databases?

Hi. I'm a newbie to Visual Studio 2012 and stuck on how to interact with different datasets.
I am building a report that is associated with with two tables, each from a different database. The
master_flat table with the primary key matter_number is from the first database and it contains all the columns I need that should show up in the report layout I've built. However,
billing_table with the primary key matter_number contains a flag that I go by which I must use to determine whether each matter should come through in the reporting or not.
I've set the master_flat as dataset1 and the billing_table as dataset2. Now, what is the best way in Visual studio 2012 to filter by the matters that has flag "N" in dataset2?
Thanks

We are way out of sync. Lets synchronize. I'm not sure which question you are refering to. Is it the "C# or VBnet" question or is it the "One or two database Question". It seem like it would be the database question since you
should know which programming language you are using.
Open SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS). After login, there is an explorer where you can browse the databases, tables, and fields in the tables. You should be able to view how you build the database. If you right click any tables and then
"Script Table As : Select To : New Query Editor Window". There is an execute button to run the query. You can aslo edit the query. I usually test all my qeuries in SSMS before actually using them in an application. I would get a JOIN
SQL working in SSMS.
If you let me know if you are using VBnet or C# I will write a simple LINQ. Even better if you supply me the names of the columns of the two tables.

How to join tables on different databases

In the company I work in, we've got some java applications working on two different instances which "hide" to each others (one on 10g and the other on 8i). Some decoding tables, which should common to both of them, are only present on 8i one.
I've been told that java works 'cause it allows to connect to both of databases and then report the information on front end applications.
The question is this: since we'll have to get reports on both of databases, is it possible to perform queries by using tools like oracle forms, oracle reports, sql developers, ... for joining the tables of the two different databases as java does? We have to get how to accede directly to the two instances for getting data from both of them for reporting activities. I remind you that we cannot use dblinks between the two databases for internal security reasons.
Thanks in advance!

Even java can't join between tables on two databases if the db links are not created.
So it essentially works that it fetches the data from one db and then from another db ( using two different db connctions) and then you can utlize these data and perform some joining.
Coming back to database world. It can be done like the usual dw approach.
1. Connect to a third db:
2. Get data from one database
3. get data from other database.
now do all the joins that you want to do

Give user Read-Only access to one table in a database.

so if there is a way to do it in Sql Server Managment Studio settings that would be the best.

Using Management Studio, I assume you already have a login and user for that person. If not,

Application - ADF/BC
Oracle Application Server - 10.1.3
Above our the specifications for our application,
We have two database schemas different for development and production therfore we have different databse connections for the two,
we have one application which is in production and enhacements on the same application are done by the development team.
Since we have two different schemas for developement and prduction we use different database connections for the application on development and production.
The problem is our Model and View Controller project are same, only the database connection file changes that's why we are able to host only on application at a time on our OAS. This is probably because the URL generated by OAS for developemnt and prodyction application is same.
Is there a way we can host two instances of the same application with two different database connections on the a single OAS.
Thanks & Regards,
Raksha

Use different deployment profiles each with a different context root for your application?

Create Foreing Key to one table in different dataBase
