Where the foreign key constraint is being physical store? Which tablespace?

Hi,
anyone got any idea where the foreign key constraint is being physical store? Which tablespace?
Thank You...

A foreign key constraint itself is purely logical -- there is no storage associated with it other than it's definition being stored in the data dictionary tables. If there is an index on the referencing column(s) then you can see where it is stored from the user_indexes view, although strictly speaking it's not part of the FK itself.

How to customize the foreign key constraint exception

Hi All,
I have two table, A and B.
B.ref is foreign key references to A.id in database.
Now I want to delete a row of table A in screen, error messages are :
"Constraint "xxx.xxxx_S_FK1" is violated during post operation "Delete" using SQL statement "DELETE FROM xxxxxx WHERE xxxxxxxxx" and "ORA-02292: integrity constraint (xxx.xxxx_S_FK1) violated - child record found"
How do I customize this error message? Is it possible to do it in EO Validation?
Thank you!

You can override the DoDML() method in EntityImpl something like follows
@Override
protected void doDML(int i, TransactionEvent transactionEvent) {
try
super.doDML(i, transactionEvent);
catch(DMLConstraintException _ex) {
if(_ex.getErrorCode().equals("26048") ) {
// handle your exception

Generated Script fails when attempting to drop Foreign Key Constraint

I made some changes to my database. I used the generate script process to generate a drop and create script to these tables. The generated script first ran Alter Table Drop Constraints to drop the Foreign Key constraints and then did Drop tables
and then did create table to construct the script with the proper changes.
However, when we attempted to run the script, all of the Drop constraint statements failed reporting that there was no such constraint. Then the drop table scripts failed because of the existence of the very foreign key constraints that SQL Server
had just stated did not exist.
BOL states that the statement "DROP { [ CONSTRAINT ] constraint_name | COLUMN column_name } " is "Used in a CHECK, FOREIGN KEY, UNIQUE, or PRIMARY KEY constraint." So why couldn't I drop those specified Foreign
Key constraints in a script generated by SQL Server itself.

Are you sure there are no Constraints on other tables which are causing your issue?
If a foreign key from table abc refences table def it will cause the drop to fail.
If your script is already attempting to drop such constraints, have you checked that they are dropping from the correct table (and not the table that would be the target of the drop)?
I discovered two things yesterday and one thing today about generated scripts.
When you generated a script to drop and create a set of tables and you mark it to include foreign keys, the generated script will first create a set a scripts to drop the foreign keys , then will create a set of statements for each table that will,
first, again drop the same foreign keys that it did earlier, then drop the table. If there is no "if exists" statement for each statement, the drop constraint will fail.
The script generated by the generate scripts wizard, even when you set the Drop and Create option in the advanced tab, unlike the scripts generated when you right click a table and select Drop and Create from the context menu, does not by default create
an "If Exists" statement before the attempt to drop anything.
You can make the generate Scripts wizard generate an "if exists" statement by changing the "Include if NOT EXISTS" option on the advanced tab to true. However, while the script generator will find all of the foreign keys that show that
table as the parent_id, it will not show the FK constraints on tables which are not being dropped and created. Nor can you find them by querying the sys.foreign_keys view using the standard type of Foreign Key "If Exists" statement because
it would do a query like
SELECT *
FROM sys.foreign_keys
WHERE object_id = OBJECT_ID(N'[dbo].[FK_prc_ContractSubLines_prc_PRSubLines]')
AND parent_object_id = OBJECT_ID(N'[dbo].[prc_ContractSubLines]')
And the script generator does not care even if you show an option like "Generate Scripts For Dependent Objects", it will not generate a drop script for the foreign constraints on other tables that reference your table. I have not even found
a way to get back the results of a query on the sys.foreign_keys view that will show those keys that reference your table. The only thing I been able to do is to open the table in design and check out the list of relationships in your table and see open each
relationship and see which table is the "foreign key table" rather than the primary key table. This will make writing drop and create scripts very very long and tedious. As you would have to create addional Alter tables scripts to do a drop
and create foreign keys on each table referencing yours and manually place them into your scripts at correct locations. This is almost as bad as the Oracle SQL Developer's generate script results which (at least in 2010) so screws up the order of the generated
script that it is trying to create foreign keys on tables it has not created yet.
So Patrick I see that you thought about the foreign keys on other tables. I wish I had read your post before spending the morning troubleshooting this issue based on this morning's script that ran and crashed embarrassingly.
I would like to know if someone has a query to reveal all of the foreign keys that reference your table from another table using the sys views. As it is I have to open each table in design to get a list of FKs that reference it.

Import table data in right order to avoid violating foreign key constraints

Gentlemen
I am trying to import table data into an existing 10g schema using datapump import in table mode.
However, in order to avoid violating foreign key constraints, the tables must be loaded in a specified order. I tried specifying the order in the TABLES parameter:
TABLES=table1,table2,table3 etc.
However, datapump seems to chose its own order leading to errors like the following:
ORA-31693: Table data object "SCHEMAX"."TABLE3" failed to load/unload and is being skipped due to error:
ORA-02291: integrity constraint (SCHEMAX.TABLE3_TABLE1#FK) violated - parent key not found
I want to try to avoid having to disable all foreign keys because there are hundreds of them.
Any advice?
Yours
Claus Jacobsen, Denmark

Thanks Anantha.
Since I am only loadding data (the constraints are already defined in the target database), I am not sure whether this approach would work. Meanwhile I have solved the problem of moving data from one system to another using another, tedious and far from elegant approach that I would prefer to not eloborate on:-)
However, I have also discovered another probable reason why the foreign key constraints were violated, other than wrong order of table data loading. It turns out almost every single table in the schema contains a trigger supposed to generate a unique row ID from a sequence on insert such as:
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER "SCHEMAX"."TABLEX#B_I_R"
BEFORE INSERT
ON TABLEX
FOR EACH ROW
DECLARE
BEGIN
SELECT tablex_seq.nextval INTO :NEW.ID FROM dual;
END;
If the import mechanism fires this trigger, and the sequences in the source and the target systems are not synchronized, then I guess that referred records a more than likely to end up with wrong ID's compared to the row ID's in the referring rows?
Spooky. Anybody can confirm this theory?
Yours
Claus

Using FOreign key constraints on tables in database.

I am student and novice in the field of ORACLE and PL/SQL and Database Creation. I had created a database consisting tables and got problem while applying foreign key constraints.
CUST_MSTR
CREATE TABLE "DBA_BANKSYS"."CUST_MSTR"("CUST_NO" VARCHAR2(10),
"FNAME" VARCHAR2(25), "MNAME" VARCHAR2(25), "LNAME" VARCHAR2(25),
"DOB_INC" DATE NOT NULL,      "OCCUP" VARCHAR2(25), "PHOTOGRAPH" VARCHAR2(25),
"SIGNATURE" VARCHAR2(25), "PANCOPY" VARCHAR2(1),      "FORM60" VARCHAR2(1));
(CUST_NO is PRIMARY KEY, )
-- EMP_MSTR
CREATE TABLE "DBA_BANKSYS"."EMP_MSTR"("EMP_NO" VARCHAR2(10),
"BRANCH_NO" VARCHAR2(10), "FNAME" VARCHAR2(25), "MNAME" VARCHAR2(25),
"LNAME" VARCHAR2(25), "DEPT" VARCHAR2(30), "DESIG" VARCHAR2(30));
(EMP_NO is primary key )
--NOMINEE_MSTR
CREATE TABLE "DBA_BANKSYS"."NOMINEE_MSTR"("NOMINEE_NO" VARCHAR2(10),
"ACCT_FD_NO" VARCHAR2(10), "NAME" VARCHAR2(75), "DOB" DATE,
RELATIONSHIP" VARCHAR2(25));
(NOMINEE_NO is primary key )
--ADDR_DTLS
CREATE TABLE "DBA_BANKSYS"."ADDR_DTLS"("ADDR_NO" NUMBER(6),
"CODE_NO" VARCHAR2(10),      "ADDR_TYPE" VARCHAR2(1), "ADDR1" VARCHAR2(50),
"ADDR2" VARCHAR2(50), "CITY" VARCHAR2(25), "STATE" VARCHAR2(25),
"PINCODE" VARCHAR2(6));
( ADDR_NO is primary key )
Problem: I want to apply foreign key constraints on ADDR_DTLS table so that Before inserting value in ADDR_DTLS table it must check, VALUE in ADDR_DTLS.CODE_NO must be PRESENT either in attribute value CUST_MSTR.CODE_NO or EMP_MSTR.CODE_NO or NOMINEE_MSTR.CODE_NO table .
I applied the foreign key constraints using this syntax
CREATE TABLE "DBA_BANKSYS"."ADDR_DTLS"("ADDR_NO" NUMBER(6),
"CODE_NO" VARCHAR2(10),      "ADDR_TYPE" VARCHAR2(1), "ADDR1" VARCHAR2(50),
"ADDR2" VARCHAR2(50), "CITY" VARCHAR2(25), "STATE" VARCHAR2(25),
"PINCODE" VARCHAR2(6),
constraints fk_add foreign key CODE_NO references CUST_MSTR. CODE_NO,
constraints fk_add1 foreign key CODE_NO references EMP_MSTR. CODE_NO,
constraints fk_add2 foreign key CODE_NO references NOMINEE_MSTR.CODE_NO);
(foreign key)
ADDR_DTLS.CODE_NO ->CUST_MSTR.CUST_NO
ADDR_DTLS.CODE_NO ->NOMINEE_MSTR.NOMINEE_NO
ADDR_DTLS.CODE_NO ->BRANCH_MSTR.BRANCH_NO
ADDR_DTLS.CODE_NO ->EMP_MSTR.EMP_NO
When I applied foreign key constraints this way, its gives a error called foreign key constraints violation. (I understand that, its searches the attribute value of ADDR_DTLS.CODE_NO in all the three tables must be present then the value will be inserted. But I want, if the value is in any of the three table then its should insert the value or its gives an error.)
Please help me out, though i put the question and i want too know how to apply the forign key in this way. and is there any other option if foreign key implementation is not pssible.

If you are on 11g you can use ON DELETE SET NULL:
CREATE TABLE addr_dtls
( addr_no          NUMBER(6) CONSTRAINT addr_pk PRIMARY KEY
, addr_cust_no     CONSTRAINT addr_cust_fk    REFERENCES cust_mstr    ON DELETE SET NULL
, addr_emp_no      CONSTRAINT addr_emp_fk     REFERENCES emp_mstr     ON DELETE SET NULL
, addr_nominee_no CONSTRAINT addr_nominee_fk REFERENCES nominee_mstr ON DELETE SET NULL
, addr_type        VARCHAR2(1)
, addr1            VARCHAR2(50)
, addr2            VARCHAR2(50)
, city             VARCHAR2(25)
, state            VARCHAR2(25)
, pincode          VARCHAR2(6) );In earlier versions you'll need to code some application logic to do something similar when a parent row is deleted, as otherwise the only options are to delete the dependent rows or raise an error.
btw table names can be up to 30 characters and don't need to end with MSTR or DTLS, so for example CUSTOMERS and ADDRESSES might be more readable than CUST_MSTR and ADDR_DTLS. Also if the Customer/Employee/Nominee PKs are generated from a sequence they should be numeric.

Wrong order foreign key constraints

Hi,
i have problems with non-deferred foreing key constraints:
I have a table "PERSON" and a table "ADRESSE" which has a foreign key
to "PERSON". Both tables have primary keys with two columns.
In the mappings I use application identity. The mappings are generated by
xdoclet.
We cannot use deferred constraint because we have to support following
databases: Oracle, Firebird, MS SQL, DB2.
I tested the mappings with Oracle and Firebird and got this exception

The foreign key "ADRESSE_PS" was identified correctly.
I've taken a look at the class OracleDictionary and it seems that the
object "ForeignKey" considers only one column from the foreign keys -
but I use foreign keys that include two columns ("MANDANTID", "PERSONID").
Is that right or are foreign keys with two columns allowed by the
OracleDictionary?

Jan-
That is odd ... Kodo should be identifying the foreign keys and ordering
the statements accordingly. The mappings appear correct to me at first
glance. If you run the "schemagen" tool, does Kodo correctly identify
the foreign key constraints in the database? Can you post the output
from the command so we can take a look?

Hi,
i have problems with non-deferred foreing key constraints:
I have a table "PERSON" and a table "ADRESSE" which has a foreign key
to "PERSON". Both tables have primary keys with two columns.
In the mappings I use application identity. The mappings are generated by
xdoclet.
We cannot use deferred constraint because we have to support following
databases: Oracle, Firebird, MS SQL, DB2.
I tested the mappings with Oracle and Firebird and got this exception

Query the name of the parent table in a foreign key constraint

Hello,
Does anyone know how to query for the parent table name in a foreign key constraint? I don't see that relationship in ALL_CONS_COLUMNS or ALL_CONSTRAINTS.
Thanks in advance,
Michael

or try this...
SELECT rc.TABLE_NAME "PK_Table_Name",cc.TABLE_NAME "FK_Table_Name",
       case when cc.column_name = rc.column_name
            then c.TABLE_NAME || '(' || cc.COLUMN_NAME || ')'
            else r.TABLE_NAME || '(' || rc.COLUMN_NAME || ') = ' ||c.TABLE_NAME || '(' || cc.COLUMN_NAME || ')' end as "TABLE_NAME(COLUMN_NAME)"
from all_constraints c,
     all_constraints r,
     all_cons_columns cc,
     all_cons_columns rc
WHERE
     r.table_name = upper('emp')
and      c.CONSTRAINT_TYPE = 'R'
and     c.R_OWNER = r.OWNER
and     c.R_CONSTRAINT_NAME = r.CONSTRAINT_NAME
and     c.CONSTRAINT_NAME = cc.CONSTRAINT_NAME
and     c.OWNER = cc.OWNER
and     r.CONSTRAINT_NAME = rc.CONSTRAINT_NAME
and     r.OWNER = rc.OWNER
and     cc.POSITION = rc.POSITION
ORDER BY r.TABLE_NAME;

How to retrieve the Foreign key information in Oracle

I want to know how to retrieve the Foreign Key information in Oracle while using SQL Statement?
I have use three SQL statement to retrieve such information, but the performance is very bad.
The three SQL Statements are:
Select constraint_name, r_constraint_name from all_constraints where constraint_type = 'R' and table_name = table1;
Select column_name from all_cons_columns where constraint_name = cons1;
Select table_name, column_name from all_cons_columns where constraint_name = r_ccons1;
Do anyone know another method to retrieve the Foreign Key information which has better performance?

These sql-statements don't seem very performance intensive. My guess is something is wrong with your database (unless you have millions of constraints). How many constraints do you have? how many concurrent users? What is your dictionary cach hitratio? (other hitratio?) memory problems? other tasks of the computer? is this query the only one being slow? etc.

Foreign Key Constraint Failure on Self-Referencing Table

In a recent data deletion project, I ran into a problem where Oracle allowed for a record (the parent) to be deleted when there still existed a child record in the same table which referred to the parent.
An abbreviated version of the table is as follows:
create table test (
template_id number not null,
customer_id number null,
parent_id number null,
constraint pk_test primary key (template_id),
constraint r_parent foreign key (parent_id) references test (template_id));
The parent and child records are as follows:
Parent: template_id = 100, customer_id = 200, parent_id = null
Child: template_id = 101, customer_id = null, parent_id = 100
Records were deleted from this table using:
DELETE FROM test WHERE customer_id = 200;
When this statement is executed, is it being executed as part of 155 delete statements using PL/SQL, and tens of thousands of records from 155 tables are being deleted. These delete statements have been ordered taking into account foreign key constraints. All 155 statements are being deleted in a single transaction. The delete statement above was the 23rd statement of the set to be executed. I would have expected when this delete statement was executed, an error would have been thrown. However, all 155 delete statements successfully complete, and after committing the results, the child record above still exists in the DB as an orphan. I also tried executing the first 23 statements manually in SQL*Plus (still one transaction), and the problem still occurs: the parent is deleted and the child is orphaned.
If I execute the very simple example above, I do indeed get an referential constraint error.
Has anyone ever encountered this situation? And does anyone have any ideas how to go about troubleshooting this problem. We need to know the cause of this, as we have a small handful of table with a similar self-referential foreign key constraint set-up.
Thank you very much in advance,
Mark

First of all, the very simple example that I outlined above I have already tried and it worked: when I attempted to delete the parent a referential integrity error was thrown as one would expect. This small example was my test case to see if I could reproduce what I'm seeing in our application in a more manageable and demonstrable example. But as it worked, I'm still perplexed in reconciling the differences between what I'm seeing in our application (which I can't demonstrate in this help group) and the test case. When I used the test case in my first posting in this thread, I used it to help describe the problem I'm encountered, even though that small example works.
Below is more of the table you've asked for.
OWNER           CONSTRAINT_NAME          CONSTRAINT_TYPE     TABLE_NAME     SEARCH_CONDITION     R_OWNER            R_CONSTRAINT_NAME     DELETE_RULE     STATUS          DEFERRABLE            DEFERRED         VALIDATED     GENERATED     BAD     RELY     LAST_CHANGE           INDEX_OWNER INDEX_NAME       INVALID     VIEW_RELATED

What I've said is that I've got a situation that I'm trying to understand. My first attempt at my test case didn't work because the test case worked as it should. I'm trying to figure out another course of action to try and figure this situation out.

Disable all the foreign keys in a database

Hy, what sql to use to disable all the foreign keys in a database and how to enable all them again. Thanks

select * from dba_constraints where constraint_type = 'R' and status = 'ENABLED'
ALTER TABLE table_name
disable CONSTRAINT constraint_name;
ALTER TABLE table_name
enable CONSTRAINT constraint_name;
select
'ALTER TABLE ' || OWNER || '.' || table_name || ' enable CONSTRAINT ' || constraint_name || ';'
from dba_constraints where constraint_type = 'R' and status = 'ENABLED';
Execute and save result for enable before disable
select
'ALTER TABLE ' || OWNER || '.' || table_name || ' disable CONSTRAINT ' || constraint_name || ';'
from dba_constraints where constraint_type = 'R' and status = 'ENABLED';
Execute result for disable.

Primary Key and Foreign Key Constraints

Hi All,
I would like to know PRIMARY KEY and FOREIGN KEY constraints on existing oracle tables. Could any one suggest me how to find out.
Thanks,

You can query DBA_CONSTRAINTS to get a list of all the constraints on table A and/or table B. The documentation I linked to gives a full list of the data you can see in DBA_CONSTRAINTS, but it includes things like the referenced table name and referenced constraint name for a foreign key constraint. If A is a parent of B or B is a parent of A, you could match up the parent's primary key constraint to the child's foreign key constraint.
More generally, though, if you don't know that one of the tables is a parent of the other, figuring out how to join the two tables is probably not something that can be done using just the Oracle data dictionary. You would probably need an understanding of the data model being used to figure out what intermediate table(s) needed to be joined in order to relate rows in A to rows in B.

The set of constraints as you show it is valid, but will likely result in a lot of violations since both child columns are larger than the parent. The Oracle 2256 error has nothing to do with data validation, nor with the different lengths of the columns. The documentation says
02256, 00000, "number of referencing columns must match referenced columns"
// *Cause: The number of columns in the foreign-key referencing list is not
// equal to the number of columns in the referenced list.
// *Action: Make sure that the referencing columns match the referenced
// columns.Look at the actual statement that the client ran. It will be different than the one you posted. one of the two column lists will have more columns than the other.

How to Remove Foreign Key Constraint

Hello Freinds,
I have created two sample tables ...
create table primaryTable(id int primary key,value int);
OK; 1 row affected
create table childTable(id1 int primary key,id int references primaryTable(id),value int);
OK; 1 row affected
ants_dsn_3.4> select * from childTable;
| ID1 | ID | VALUE |
| 1 | 1 | 1 |
| 2 | 2 | 1 |
| 3 | 3 | 1 |
OK; Returned 3 rows from 3 fields
ants_dsn_3.4> select * from primaryTable;
--------------------------+
| ID | VALUE |
--------------------------+
| 1 | 1 |
| 2 | 1 |
| 3 | 1 |
--------------------------+
I want to drop the Foreign key in the Child Table.
And when i do that i get the Following error.
ants_dsn_3.4> alter table childTable drop ID;
[ANTs Software][ANTs DATABASE ODBC driver][ants_dsn_3.4] Server returned error : ERROR (70007): Cannot drop the column 'ID' that has a constraint on it
Freinds Can you help to solve this problem as iam new to data base side.
Thanks in advance,
Faizan.

The reason you are having a problem is that you are using a very bad technique for creating your constraints.
SQL> create table primaryTable(id int primary key,value int);
Table created.
SQL> create table childTable(id1 int primary key,id int references primaryTable(id),value int);
Table created.
SQL> select constraint_name, constraint_type
2 from user_constraints
3 where table_name = 'CHILDTABLE';
CONSTRAINT_NAME                C
SYS_C0011508                   P
SYS_C0011509                   R
SQL> ALTER TABLE childtable DROP CONSTRAINT SYS_C0011509;
Table altered.
SQL> Create your constraints properly and you won't get system generated names.
CREATE TABLE primaryTable(id INTEGER, value INTEGER);
ALTER TABLE primarytable
ADD CONSTRAINT pk_primarytable
PRIMARY KEY (id)
USING INDEX;And columns named ID and VALUE are enough to make me refuse to hire someone for a job. Get a copy of Joe Celko's books and learn how to name columns. Also do not use reserved words for column names:
SELECT keyword
FROM gv$reserved_words;Now lets get back to your referential constraint:
CREATE TABLE childTable(id1 INTEGER, id INTEGER, value INTEGER);
ALTER TABLE childtable
ADD CONSTRAINT pk_childtable
PRIMARY KEY (id)
USING INDEX;
ALTER TABLE childtable
ADD CONSTRAINT fk_child_primary_id
FOREIGN KEY (id)
REFERENCING primarytable(id);BTW: I would fail a first quarter student who, on their midterm, wrote what you've written above. You should find yourself a good beginning book on database design.

Is this a BUG??? Database Export not including Foreign Key Constraints

I'm using SQL Developer 1.5.4 with both the 59.47 and 59.59 patches installed. I want to do a database export from a 10g XE schema, and include all objects in the resulting DDL. So, I select ALL the checkboxes in the export wizard and when I get to Step 3 to specify objects, I don't see any of my constraints in the listbox... no foreign key constraints, no primary key constraints, no check constraints, nothing. Is this a bug, or is there a workaround, or what could I possibly be doing wrong? We want to be able to use the database export feature to easily transport and track modifications to our entire schema using source control compare.
Any help or alternate suggestions would be apprieciated.
Thanks,
Matt

Thanks skutz, we just figured that out this morning. Also, it should be noted that you need to be logged in as the owner of the schema otherwise selecting nothing in the filter will give you nothing, but selecting items in the filter will give you those items even if you're not connected as the schema owner. I wonder if that is the detail of the Bug 8679318.

I am unable to create the Foreign key

Hi,
I need to create the Foreign key which reffered to composite primary key.
the following table structure
Parent table
DIVISION, PROJECT_NUMBER, COMPETITION_PROJECT_NUMBER, COMPETITIVE_STMT_TYPE, SEQUENCE, CATEGORY, STATEMENT, USER_ID, RECORD_MODIFICATION_DATE
Here composite primary key columns(DIVISION, PROJECT_NUMBER, COMPETITION_PROJECT_NUMBER, COMPETITIVE_STMT_TYPE, SEQUENCE)
Child Table
DIVISION          VARCHAR2 (4)
PROJECT_NUMBER          NUMBER (10)COMPETITION_PROJECT_NUMBER     NUMBER (10)
COMPETITIVE_STMT_TYPE          VARCHAR2 (2)
SEQUENCE     NUMBER (2)
CATEGORY          VARCHAR2 (100)
STATEMENT     LONG
USER_ID     VARCHAR2 (100)
RECORD_MODIFICATION_DATE     DATE
ALTER TABLE COMPETITION_STMT ADD (CONSTRAINT COMPET_STMT_FK_PROJ_NUM foreign key
          (PROJECT_NUMBER) REFERENCES PROD_COMPET_XREF (PROJECT_NUMBER));
when i am trying to create foreign key i got this error
ORA-02270: no matching unique or primary key for this column-list
this is production issue Please help me.
Thanks in advance

ALTER TABLE PROD_COMPET_XREF ADD (
CONSTRAINT PROD_COMP_XREF_PK_DPNCPNCT
PRIMARY KEY
(COMPETITION_PROJECT_NUMBER, PROJECT_NUMBER, DIVISION, PRODUCT_LOC_INDICATOR)
When you create a foreign key, it must reference a unique or primary key. The primary or Unique key must consist ONLY of those columns upon which the Primary key is based.
You must Alter the table and add a Unique key if you want to keep your compsite primary key constraint. The Unique key must be for only the column that your foreign key references. Then try to recreate your foreign key.
I doubt you will be able to add a foreign key because I suspect you might have multiple rows with the same value for this column based on your composite key; however, if you only intend for the project number to be listed only once and to be unique for each row, then the unique key may work or you may want to revist your primary key on this table. Perhaps you don't need it to be a composite PK???
If you can't work around that, one thing you can do is build a table based just on PROJECT_NUMBER that contains details about the project number and have other tables reference that. That is, if you have multiple rows with the same project number in that table. You may already have one? Perhaps you can build your foreign key to reference that?

Where the foreign key constraint is being physical store? Which tablespace?
