You could put the database on a virtual drive[^] and crypt that. When moving the database, move the virtual drive.

Please help with an UPDATE statement conflicted with the FOREIGN KEY constraint problem

Hi can someone help me to solve a foreign key constraint problem? I’m using using Web Developer 2010 Express with mvc3. When my view loads I can create an object by clicking on the Create button but on the edit page, I click on save button and get an error message: That says my UPDATE statement conflicted with the FOREIGN KEY constraint giving the tables relationship and the column.

Here’s what I’ve tried so far: I researched and found that this error is a bug in SQL Server 7.0. but I'm using Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 (RTM) - 10.50.1600.1

I found another tip that suggested that the id field in the main table is perhaps being called before the id fields of the associated table(s) was created. I tried changing the order by seeding all the other tables with data before my main table in my DBInitializer class. I also changed the order in my DBContext class… same error. Finally I decided to change the relationship directly in the database. I removed the relationship and created a new one (had to add fields in the main table to match the number of columns in the associated table). Nothing worked. I then removed the SetInitializer line from my Global.asax and created all tables from scratch directly in the database and as I created them, I found that I had to add data to the associated tables before adding stuff to my main table which seems to support an earlier suggestion but I still got the error message.

I then changed my SetInitializer back to seed the tables still got the same error. I have no problems when I click the “Create” button, only “Save” on the Edit page.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

To really understand how to solve this problem, you must know what commands are executed against your database. One way to solve this issue is to turn on CASCADE UPDATE in your foreign key definition.

SSMS question

I am running a report in SQL SERVER 2008 that I inherited from a past co-worker in another state. The code is accessing two different servers, but SQl Server management studio seems to be only recongzing only one server/database/table at a time. Is it possible to access two servers while running one report in SSMS/ Below is the server names and databases:

ELMO.[HBS Patient Information].dbo.ECS_Plan_Information E (NoLock)
(Getting invalid oblect name when I hover over this)

[167.211.200.214].Billing03990.dbo.pclaim P

You can link[^] servers within SSMS. Once set up, you can query both servers in a single statement, by prefixing the server-name before the database-name.

Need help for Customize the except query

I need one column from the table1 which need not be used comparassion but I need the colume (ID colum in this case)to get lised in the query result.

Ex :

SQL

<pre lang="SQL">select ID a,b,c from table1 except select a,b,c from

table2
in the above example ID color of Table1 need not be compared with table to but just required in the query result for each rows.

Thanks in advance

I think some of your post was truncated.

As a guess if you are suggesting that you want to return rows from two tables where there is no common columns between them then the answer is simple - use two queries.

If you are looking for records in table 1 where A,B,C records are not in table 2 then the following should help

SQL

Select * from table1 T
where not exists(Select * from Table2 TT where T.A = TT.A and T.B = TT.B and T.C = TT.C)

Oracle - odd behavior with nested select/join

Paladin20002-Feb-12 9:19

Here is a strange result that I am getting with Oracle. Unless I wrap the select from TABLE1 as shown (specifying "rownum > 0"), the query never seems to complete. However, when it is included, it only takes a second or two.

It doesn't make any sense to me, because all that it seems to do is force Oracle to evaluate the nested select with the alias "a" before performing the join. I had thought that placing it in parenthesis would do that automatically. Perhaps the Oracle optimizer does something wonky that this compensates for..? Scratching my head here, because all that the "where" condition adds is basically saying "give me any rows that you find".

SQL

select COUNTRY_NAME, count(*) TALLY from
  (
    select * from (
    select IP_SOURCE_NUM from TABLE1 
    where log_date between '01-JAN-2012' and date '01-FEB-2012'
      and IP_SOURCE_NUM > 0
    ) where rownum > 0 
  ) a
  JOIN ip_geo b on b.ip_from = 
  (
    select max(ip_from) as ip_from_match from ip_geo
    where ip_from <= a.IP_SOURCE_NUM
  )
group by COUNTRY_NAME
order by count(*) desc

While passing up the opportunity to make sarcasic remarks about a 'wonky' Oracle you might be better served by asking Tom[^] as it sounds like a rather deep and very specific Oracle issue.

As you already realized yourself, the paranthesis doesn't define in which order the query is executed, only what data the result is built from.
But by specifying Rownum > 0 you're forcing the optimizer to change the order of execution.

But I would use an optimizer hint instead. Like Select /* +materialize */ * from...

Insert Statment

values('Employee')
where
Owner = 'Seema'

1. It isn't a query
2. An insert is an insert - 'where' doesn't apply (not for the form given.)

It is also possible that 'Employee' is not a valid value for 'AssignedToId'

By Owner do you mean the schema owner of the table? I don't think I've ever seen an insert statement with a 'where' clause before. Confused | :confused:

As jschell said.

If Owner is a column in a table an insert might be like:

INSERT INTO tbTasks_New(AssignedToId) 
SELECT column1
WHERE owner = 'Seema'

If you use the value command you cannot use the where (you do not need to!)

your queary is like this...
insert into tbTasks_New( AssignedToId)
values('Employee')
where
Owner = 'Seema'

and your solution will be like this...!

Update tbTasks_New set='Employee' where Owner='Seema'
-----------------------------------
Actually u have to use update statment insted of insert statment...! and then u will get ur expected output.!

What you need is a common table expression[^] which is recursive processing of a table.

This may not be correct as your structure seems to be rigid (you know how many level to the top) and therefor you simply do a bunch of inner joins.

Select *
From Fruit
Inner join Category on Category.CategoryID = Fruit.CategoryID
Inner Join level2.ID = Category.Level2.ID
...
