Truncate Database Tables Based On Foreign Key Constraints
Nov 5, 2007
Guys,
I have 600 tables in my database, out of which 40 tables are look up value tables. I want generate truncate scripts which truncates all the tables in order of Parent child relationship excluding lookup tables. Is there any way to do this apart from figuring out Parent Child relationship and then writing the truncate statements for each of the table.
For example
EmployeeDetail table references Employee table
DepartmentDetail table references Department table
Department table references Employee table
My truncate script should be
TRUNCATE TABLE DEPARTMENTDETAIL
TRUNCATE TABLE EMPLOYEEDETAIL
TRUNCATE TABLE DEPARTMENT
TRUNCATE TABLE EMPLOYEE
Is there any automated way to figure out parent and child tables and generate truncate script for the same.
Thanks

I am testing Insert, Update etc. and messing up my database with "dirty" data. Is there a way to temporarily drop FOREIGN KEY constraints to truncate a table after testing without dropping the whole table and rebuilding it?

I know this is probably a flick of a switch but I cannot figure out which switch. Setup is SQL Server / Stored Procedures / DAL / BLL(skipped for testing) / PL. The stored procedure queries from only one table and two columns are ignored because they are being phased out. I can run the stored procedure and preview the data in the DAL but when I create a page with an ODS linked to the DAL and a GridView I get this error. I checked every column that does not allow nulls and they all have values. I checked unique columns (ID is the only unique and is Identity=Yes in the table definition). I checked foreign-key columns for values that are not in the foreign table and there are none. Any ideas why do I get this?
Failed to enable constraints. One or more rows contain values violating non-null, unique, or foreign-key constraints.

Hi,
I am getting the above error when trying to load a report into my Web Application, I have tracked the error down to one specific field in my database. Even though this field is a NVarChar field and is of size 30 it would seem that there is an issue returning the value from the field. I can write it into the database no problems but when I try to get it out of the database it returns the above error.
e.g
MOB 401.908.804 - Fails
0401.907.324 - okay
8239 9082 (pager) - fails
Anyone got an idea on how to fix this????
Regards..
Peter.

Here is my issue I am new to 2005 sql server, and am trying to take my old data which is exported to a txt file and import it to tables in sql. The older database is non relational, and I had made several exports for the way I want to build my tables. I built my packages fine and everything is working until I start building relationships. I remove my foreign key and the table with the primary key will get updated for the package again. I need to update the data daily into sql, and once in it will only be update from the package until the database is moved over.
It will run and update with a primary key until I add a foreign key to another database.
Here is my error when running the package when table 2 has a foreign key.
[Execute SQL Task] Error: Executing the query "TRUNCATE TABLE [consumer].[dbo].[Client] " failed with the following error: "Cannot truncate table 'consumer.dbo.Client' because it is being referenced by a FOREIGN KEY constraint.". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.

Hi all
i have a problem.
i have this method
protected void DeleteDataFirstAccess()
{
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand();
cmd.Connection = conn;
cmd.CommandText = "select name from sys.all_objects where type='U'";
DataTable table = DataBase.GetDatatable(cmd); //this is one of my method wich return a datatable with data
foreach (DataRow row in table.Rows)
{
SqlCommand cmd_delete = new SqlCommand();
cmd_delete.CommandText = "TRUNCATE TABLE " + row[0].ToString();
cmd_delete.Connection = conn;
cmd_delete.ExecuteNonQuery();
cmd_delete.Dispose();
}
cmd.Dispose();
}
when i run i have an error with some tables constraints.
As you know If we try to TRUNCATE a table, and the table is have a relationship with other table like for exemple Employees_Salary with the constraint of SQL Foreign Key then we can't TRUNCATE the table with SQL Truncate Table command, we need to TRUNCATE the Employees_Salary table first because Employees_Salary is depending on it and that is having some records. That's why we need to TRUNCATE both tables and the sequence is to empty that table which is based on SQL Foreign Key or remove this constraint first.
What i need is a list of all database tables ordered by the right sequence considering the constraints
Anyone can help me?
thanks in advance
bye

I have two tables, T1 and T2.T1 has a foreign Key that refers to a key in T2.The way that I see it, its only possible to insert something into T1 ifthere already exists a tuple in T2 with the same value in key.That means that I always have to insert something into T2 before insertinginto T1Is that correct?

When following a script to create some tables and constraints, it is recommended that you name the FK constraint? Otherwise it appears with numbers after it. Is this the way 2005 creates them or has this always been the naming convention?

Hello all,
Simple question. I have two table with a foreign key in between.
Then if I want to truncate the tables, of course this is not possible because of foreign key. But with the following code, this should work:
EXEC sp_msforeachtable 'ALTER TABLE ? NOCHECK CONSTRAINT ALL'
GO
truncate table Table_1
truncate table Table_2
GO
EXEC sp_msforeachtable 'ALTER TABLE ? CHECK CONSTRAINT ALL'
GO
But I still have the error
Msg 4712, Level 16, State 1, Line 2
Cannot truncate table 'Table_2' because it is being referenced by a FOREIGN KEY constraint.
What is wrong ?
You will find below the code for the creation of my two tables
Thanks for your help
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Table_1](
[ID] [int] NOT NULL,
[foreignId] [int] NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT [PK_Table_1] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
(
[ID] ASC
)WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF) ON [PRIMARY]
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Table_2](
[Id] [int] NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT [PK_Table_2] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
(
[Id] ASC
)WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF) ON [PRIMARY]
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[Table_1] WITH NOCHECK ADD CONSTRAINT [FK_Table_1_Table_2] FOREIGN KEY([foreignId])
REFERENCES [dbo].[Table_2] ([Id])
GO
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[Table_1] CHECK CONSTRAINT [FK_Table_1_Table_2]

I want to disable foreign key constraints en mass. Is there a way to do this?
I know that I can go into each table and navigate to the Relationship tab of Properties and uncheck the "Enforce relationship for INSERTs and UPDATEs" box, but I'd much prefer to automate this process with a query since there are 160+ tables and probably 200+ relationships to disable.
I figure that sysconstraints my be the ticket, but I will keep experimenting until I get the right solution. In the meantime, any insight to steer me in the right direction is appreciated.

Hi All,
I know that when you specify a PRIMARY KEY or UNIQUE constraint for a table, SQL Server creates a unique index for the primary key columns.
What about foreign keys? Does SQL Server creates an index when you create a foreign key?
I have looked in Books Online and on the Internet, but couldn't find any information.
Thanks in advance.

I've recently implemented a whole bunch of foreign key constraints in a database. As a result I have issues every time I want to truncate a table to perform data loads.
Is there an easy way to tell the system to ignore these constraints for the term of a data load or truncation of data?
thank you

I have recently restored an SQL Server 2000 database on SQL Server 2005
A number of constraints on the database had previously been disabled
A monthly process that is carried out, imports data into 'Table A'.
This process now crashed, being unable to truncate table as it referenced by 'Table B'
Although when i check the properties of the constraint the 'enforce foreign key constraints' is set to no.
Is there a known issue with restoring databases on 2005,
Any help greatly appreciated.

I have a table that I want to run an UPDATE statement to change some data in the table, but I get this error:
Server: Msg 547, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
UPDATE statement conflicted with COLUMN FOREIGN KEY constraint 'FK__Yield__Financial_Product__ProductCode'. The conflict occurred in database 'lsmdb', table 'Financial_Product', column 'ProductCode'.
The statement has been terminated.
How do I update the ProductCode column in both tables to reflect my updated data?
Thanks in advance.

Msg 142, Level 15, State 2, Line 0
Incorrect syntax for definition of the 'TABLE' constraint.
I'd like to update or delete the IssueProgress plus update and setting null to the Approvals tables at the same time whenever the ItemNo of the parent table namely IssueLog is updated or deleted.
How can I achieve this?

How can I get and or set the order in which the cascading deletes of a table are executed??
I have table A with cascading deletes to Table B and Table C. Records in table B can not be deleted if they are referenced from table C. So if I delete C, then B and then A; that would work. But B then C and then A might be prohibited due to the constraint between B and C. Therefor the order of execution of the cascading delete is important.

Any tool, script, procedure, or otherwise that will solve this problem?
CREATE TABLE [Table 1] (
Id varchar,
TableTwoId varchar,
OtherData varchar )
CREATE TABLE [Table 2] (
Id varchar,
MoreData varchar )
What is the link between these two tables?
I have databases that have zero keys defined, no foreign key constraints, no unique value constraints. I cannot assume that an Identity column is the Id. The end game is be able to output that [Table 1].[TableTwoId] = [Table 2].[Id] but cannot assume that all linkage in the database will be as simple as saying "if the field name contains a table name + Id then it is the Id in that table."
Currently have written a script that will cycle through all columns and start identifying keys in singular tables based on the distinctness of the values in each column (i.e. Column1 is 99% distinct so is the unique value). It will also combine columns if the linkage is the combination of one or more columns from Table 1 = the same number of columns in Table 2. This takes a long time, and it somewhat unreliable as IDENTITY columns may seem to relate to one another when they don't.

I want to replicate the foreign keys to secondary.I changed the value Copy foreign key constraints value is to True.
I changed this value at pub properties - Articles -
And then it is asking for MARK for reinitialization with the new snapshot.I clicked ok.
When I checked sync status it has given the message like initial snapshot is not yet available.I started the snapshot and the subscription started replication records.When check at pup properties the value Copy foreign key constraints again false.
After changing the value to true it is showing as False.

Ok, so I've broken down and decided to write myself an invoicing
program. I'd like to use GUID fields as the Primary Keys in my
table. Now, I basicly bill for two seperate items:
Deliverables and Services.
So, my Layout's gonna look something like
Create Table Invoice(
ID UniqueIdentifier Primary Key,
-- Other Data
);
Create Deliverable(
ID uniqueidentifier Primary Key,
ParentInvoice uniqueidentifier,
-- Other data);
--...
Im sure there are probems with that as it's written feel free to edify me as to what they are.
my questions are such:
1) Does a uniqueidentifier field automagically get a value?
2) If not how do I generate one in TSQL?
3) If so, what do I use to store my Foreign Keys.
4) How do I declare my Foreign key constraints?

Hi
We used to used Sql Server 2000 DTS to perform daily backups to remote servers very successfully but just cannot do the same with SSIS.
I set my Transfer Sql Transfer Objects Task to use the following settings:
CopyData = true
ObjectsTocopy = All Tables
As soon as it hits a table that has a foreign key, I get the following error:
"Truncate data failed for Table nnn"
I've tried setting DropObjectsFirst = True but this fails too with foreign key violations.
First of all, am I doing something obviously wrong? Is SSIS not smart enough to drop tables in the right order so that we don't get foreign key violations?
Am I totally barking up the wrong tree with this and can anyone suggest a better way of doing remote backups?
Kind regards
Ben

I'm working on creating a new version of an existing table. I want to keep the old table around, only with a different name. In looking this up I found there's a system routine named sp_rename, which looks like it will work fine.However in thinking about this I realized that the foreign key constraints defined on the table (there's 3 of them) are likely to not be renamed, correct?
If I'm correct, then I suppose I could rename the table, then drop the 3 foreign key constraints, and create them new using different names for those foreign key constraints.

My SQL is very basic. How do I create a query that will accept a parameter, an integer, and based on the integer, locate all the matches in a db?
SELECT COUNT(*) AS Expr1, tblArticle.ArticleIDFROM tblArticle INNER JOIN tblArticleCategory ON tblArticle.ArticleCatID = tblArticleCategory.ACategoryIDGROUP BY tblArticle.ArticleID
This isn't setting up the query to request a parameter.What am I doing wrong here? I"m trying to get the total number of articles for a particular category ID.
