Modifying column adding primary key constraint

how can we alter a table and modify a column and add a primary key constraint to it??

  • Adding primary key constraint

    what will happen if i do this??
    alter table emp
    add primart key(employee_id,last_name);
    is there going to be two primary keys in the table ??
    or what??

    or what??It will come up with an error, unless you change 'primart' to primary'.
    If you do, you will only get one primary key which requires the combination of the two columns to be unique.
    So you could insert two rows with same employee id but different names! Not a good idea.
    Just use employee id as the primary key.
    Note: you can have only one primary key for a table but you can have lots of unique constraints.

  • SQL Server - primary key constraint modify

    Hi,
    I have a table with many records. I wanted to modify the primary key constraint. The only way to alter the primary key constraint is to drop and create again. Please let me if it is right.
    Can we create primary key constraint with NoCheck. Since we have lots of records in our table, creating primary key constraint takes more time because it is checking the existing data. Please provide your comments.
    Thanks.

    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms181043(v=sql.105).aspx
    Note
    To modify a PRIMARY KEY constraint, you must first delete the existing PRIMARY KEY constraint and then re-create it with the new definition.

    When FOREIGN KEY or CHECK constraints are added, all existing data is verified for constraint violations unless the WITH
    NOCHECK option is specified. If any violations occur, ALTER TABLE fails and an error is returned. When a new PRIMARY KEY or UNIQUE constraint is added to an existing column, the data in the column or columns must be unique. If duplicate values are found, ALTER
    TABLE fails. The WITH NOCHECK option has no effect when PRIMARY KEY or UNIQUE constraints are added.

  • Modify a primary key constraint

    Hi,
    I'm starting with oracle, and I have two doubts that can't handle after searching on the internet.
    1º It's possible to make an ALTER TABLE of a CONSTRAINT DEFAULT?. Maybe you think that the question should be in another way like this: Does oracle database take the default condition as a constraint?. As long as I know, doesn't do that.
    2º It's possible, with an ALTER TABLE, to MODIFY a CONSTRAINT of a PRIMARY KEY, to add another more field?
    I've been searching on the internet, but I didn't find a clear answer. I'm using oracle 10g express edition.
    Thank you very much.
    P.D.:Sorry for my english it's not very good.

  • Materialized View - does not contain a primary key constraint

    I am trying to create materialized view. I gone through the MV wizard creation. Added 2 columns (foo_column, foo_pk) of the table and have a simple select statement (Select foo_column from foo_dim). Also created a primary key contrainst and refencing the primary key (FOO_PK) of the dimension.
    I am getting the following error:
    ORA-12014: table 'FOO_DIM' does not contain a primary key constraint

    It was solved. The table that I am querying has to have a primary key defined before creating a materialized view.

  • Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint . Cannot insert duplicate key in object

    hi i am using SQL Server, when i try to insert data from my jsp page it is inserting the data double time and when i try to submit for second time it is showing the following error.
    Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'PK_EMPLOYEE'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'EMPLOYEE'.
    I didnt set identity for primary key. If i try to set identity to true then it is allowing data to submit only if i uncheck my primary key column in cached row set. And if i uncheck that primary key element then i can not retrieve the data by edit button. So how to solve this problem.
    Please any help would be appreciated.
    Thank You in Advance.

    Hi,
    I am providing support to one of our clients, where we have jobs scheduled to load the data from the tables in the source database to the destination database via SSIS packages. The first time load is a full load where we truncate all the tables in the destination
    and load them from the source tables. But from the next day, we perform the incremental load from source to destination, i.e., only modified records fetched using changed tracking concept will be loaded to the destination. After full load, if we run the incremental
    load, the job is failing with the error on one of the packages "Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint. Cannot insert duplicate key in object '<tablename>'. The duplicate key value is <1234>, even though there are no duplicate records. When we
    try debugging and running the failing package, it runs successfully. We are not able to figure out why the package fails and when we run the next day it runs successfully. Request you to help me in this regard.
    Thank you,

    I suspect you are trying to insert modified records instead of updating.

  • Altering Primary Key Constraint

    hi this may sound silly .
    but is it possible to alter a primary key constraint and add another column to it ?
    eg. >desc t1
    c1 number(3) not null
    c2 number(3)
    here I have created primary key on column c1.
    Now I want to alter this constraint and add second column also as part of primary key constraint (so that it will be composite primary key )
    How do i do that ? Do the column needs to be empty ?
    Thanks

    You should use ALTER TABLE DROP CONSTRAINT / ADD CONSTRAINT option.
    Do the column needs to be empty ?Because primary key constraint supposes NOT NULL constraints for columns
    included into primary key, all columns havn't to have nulls values (NOT NULL constraint will be added to c2 column):
    SQL> create table t1 (c1 number(3) not null, c2 number(3));
    Table created.
    SQL> alter table t1 add constraint t1_pk primary key(c1);
    Table altered.
    SQL> insert into t1 values(1,1);
    1 row created.

    Please helpI am afraid that this is not possible. There isn't anything which would reveal this detail to you at run time that which column(s) are a part of the referential constraints. This is not visible even in the description of the table(s) also using Describe command too. The only way would be to check the status of the table and its related constraints in the dictionaries, DBA_CONSTRAINTS or DBA_CONS_COLUMNS .

  • Unable to enforce Primary Key constraint with my code

    Hi Guys
    I have a table that contains 2 columns: code and description (defined as not null). I am using oracle forms 10g, if I inset a new row both the columns: code and description should have data e.g. code: 001 and description: Main Store...
    So on forms I have an on-update trigger on block level that handles the error messages but if the user has to update the description this trigger blocks him because the value for the code i.e. 001 is already on the database but if I remove the piece of code (the first IF block on my code together with a cursor and the entire declaration section)then the primary key constraint is violated: the code is as follows:
    declare
    v_store_code store_types.code%type;
    cursor store_codes is
    select a.code
    from store_types a
    where a.code = :b1.code;
    begin
    open store_codes;
    fetch store_codes into v_store_code;
    if ( store_codes%found ) then
    Message('The Store Code you have entered already exists on the Store_Types table, please enter another code!');
    Message('The Store Code you have entered already exists on the Store_Types table, please enter another code!');
    close store_codes;
    raise form_trigger_failure;
    end if;
    close store_codes;
    if :b1.code is not null and :b1.description is null then
         message('If the Store Code has been captured, then the Store Description must be captured!');
         message('If the Store Code has been captured, then the Store Description must be captured!');
    raise form_trigger_failure;
    end if;
    if :b1.description is not null and :b1.code is null then
         message('If the Store Description has been captured, then the Store code must be captured!');
         message('If the Store Description has been captured, then the Store code must be captured!');
         raise form_trigger_failure;
    end if;
    exception
              when others then
                   message(sqlerrm);
                   raise form_trigger_failure;
    end;
    My main intention here is: the user should be able to update the description field and save the changes without violating primary key on the column: code ...... please help me guys...

    ICM
    Sir as far I could understand , your problem is that your wanna allow the end users to update the Store_description , and Store_code..
    So on forms I have an on-update trigger on block level that handles the error messages but if the user has to update the description this trigger blocks him because the value for the code i.e. 001 is already on the databaseif it's right then why don't you have unique key constraints Store_description?
    alter the tables and apply unique key constraint...
    and no need to write this code
    f :b1.code is not null and :b1.description is null then
    message('If the Store Code has been captured, then the Store Description must be captured!');
    message('If the Store Code has been captured, then the Store Description must be captured!');
    raise form_trigger_failure;
    end if;because as you mentioned
    code and description (defined as not null)if they are already under not null constraints then no need to handle this in coding..
    he/she must be able to change the description and save the changes without affecting the code i.e.:Sir I think updation in records can only be performed when the forms is in query mode e.g execute query, have all/desired records and then make changes
    (1)description is in unique key constraint it can't be duplicated ..
    (2)code is PK it can never be duplicated...
    for this I would suggest you to have a update button on forms , when-button-pressed trigger sets property of block (update_allowed, property_true);
    and check the code of unique key violation code from oracle form's help , when that error code raise up you can show those message
    Message('The Store Code you have entered already exists on the Store_Types table, please enter another code!');
    Message('The Store Code you have entered already exists on the Store_Types table, please enter another code!');I hope it could do something for you

    Hi team,
    How resolve the below error 
    Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'PK_test'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'dbo.test'. The duplicate key value is (12610). (Source: MSSQLServer, Error number: 2627) ?
    Thanks,
    Ram
    RAM
    There can be two reasons
    1. The insert script used is having multiple instances of the records with Key as 12610 returned from the source query. If this is the issue add a logic to include only the unique set of id values for records by avoiding duplicates. There are several approaches
    for this like using ROW_NUMBER with PARTITION BY, using a join with derived table etc
    2. The record with Key 12610 already exist in your destination table and your script is again trying to insert another instances of record with same key. This can be avoided by adding a NOT EXISTS condition with a subquery which will check and return only
    those records which doesnt already exist in the source

    EDIT - Just adding some extra points that come from observation .
    1. This Error comes when following scenario is true
    First Attempt: User udated item in List "Issue Tracking" from Datasheet view
    Second Attempt: User udate the same item in list from "Sharepoint UI or Custom aspx form".. After clickin on Save button this erro comes up.
    Third Attempt: If after error user updates the same itme from UI the the data get saved
    OR
    Third Attempt : If after error user updates the same itme from datasheet view User get Unresolve data confilct again and again.
    Above Scenario is true only for Existing items in lists. For Newly added Items this is not producible(erroe not generated).One of the ovbservation is that All the items which are having issue are migrated from 2007 to 2010

    Hello,
    I have the exact same issue. SharePoint List which is causing this issue has got around 140 fields (All kinds of field types).
    Do this happen only if there is a migration from one version to other?
    This List is created using custom code - List Instance and not using Out of box SharePoint.
    Please let me know if recreating the list (using OOB) or any other fix will resolve this issue.

  • SSIS - "Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint. Cannot insert duplicate key in object ' tablename '. The duplicate key value is 1234 . Though there are no duplicate records.

    Hi,
    I am providing support to one of our clients, where we have jobs scheduled to load the data from the tables in the source database to the destination database via SSIS packages. The first time load is a full load where we truncate all the tables in the destination
    and load them from the source tables. But from the next day, we perform the incremental load from source to destination, i.e., only modified records fetched using changed tracking concept will be loaded to the destination. After full load, if we run the incremental
    load, the job is failing with the error on one of the packages "Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint. Cannot insert duplicate key in object '<tablename>'. The duplicate key value is <1234>, even though there are no duplicate records. When we
    try debugging and running the failing package, it runs successfully. We are not able to figure out why the package fails and when we run the next day it runs successfully. Request you to help me in this regard.
    Thank you,

    I suspect you are trying to insert modified records instead of updating.

  • Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint

    Hello,
    I have the following table in my oracle database :
    create table FLTRPTDATA
    esn VARCHAR2(10) default 'ALL' not null,
    periodid NUMBER not null,
    yearid NUMBER default 2007 not null,
    reportid NUMBER not null,
    entryid NUMBER not null,
    operatorid VARCHAR2(30) default 'XXX' not null,
    param1 VARCHAR2(200),
    param2 VARCHAR2(200),
    param3 VARCHAR2(200),
    param4 VARCHAR2(200),
    param5 VARCHAR2(200),
    param6 VARCHAR2(200),
    param7 VARCHAR2(200),
    param8 VARCHAR2(200),
    param9 VARCHAR2(200),
    param10 VARCHAR2(200),
    acid VARCHAR2(8) default 'ALL' not null
    and also have a composite primary key for the table as follows :
    add constraint PK_FLTRPTDATA primary key (ESN, PERIODID, YEARID, REPORTID, ENTRYID, OPERATORID, ACID)
    using index
    So I expect that I can only insert a new row into the table if the combination of values for ESN,PERIODID,YEARID,REPORTID,ENTRYID,OPERATORID and ACID are unique.
    I am running some software that inserts new rows into the table (via an INSERT SQL statement).
    When the software runs, it inserts a certain number of rows, but then stops when inserting one of the rows with a Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'PK_FLTRPTDATA'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'fltRPTDATA' error.
    This implies that the row being inserted contains values for the composite key columns that are NOT unique. However, when I look at the data it fails to insert, I can see that there are NO rows in the table for this combination of column values.
    If I then try to MANUALLY insert the same row myself (via my own SQL statement in SQL Developer), the row is inserted with no error.
    When I run the software, the first thing it does is delete any rows in the table that it will subsequently insert, so there cannot be any duplicate entries in the table before the inserts take place. I have run the SQL statement that does the deletion myself manually, and it does delete all of the relevant rows.
    I have checked the code (I am not the author), and I cannot see anything that would cause the same INSERT to be executed twice.
    I have checked the log file generated by the software, and the INSERT is only attempted once (according to the log).
    I don't understand why the insert fails when I run the software, and I am wondering if anyone can shed any light on the issue? Has anyone seen this scenario before where you get a PRIMARY KEY constraint violation on a composite key, where the data being inserted IS unique?
    Thanks for any help and apologies if this is in the wrong forum,
    Jason.

    One way to find those records would be to create and use a dml error log table. Then those records would get logged to the log table and would not prevent the insert of the valid records.
    See Loading Tables in the DBA Guide
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e17120/tables004.htm#InsertDMLErrorLogging
    Then you can examine the records in the log table and see why they were rejected.
