enabling foreign key constraints

2001-09-26 Thread Harvinder Singh

Hi,

When we do alter table table_name disable primary key cascade;..it also
disable all the foreign key constraints
but when we after do alter table table_name enable primary key..it does
not enable foreign keys
is there any syntax that we can enable all th foreign keys referencing
particular table..

Thanks

Harvinder,

Spool this to a file, then run it after re-enabling your PK.
BTW, you could do the reverse of this to disable the FKs, too.

Select 'Alter Table '
  || Table_Name
  || ' Enable Constraint '
  || Constraint_Name
  || ' ;'
From  User_Constraints
Where R_Constraint_Name = Re-Enabled_PK_Name
;

Use the SQL from SQL approach:


select
 'alter table ' || b.owner || '.' || b.table_name ||
 ' enable constraint ' || b.constraint_name || ' ;'
 as sql_text
from
 dba_constraints a, dba_constraints b
where
 a.owner = 'TABLE_WITH_PK_OWNER'
 and a.table_name = 'TABLE_WITH_PK_NAME'
 and a.constraint_type = 'P'
 and b.constraint_type = 'R'
 and b.r_owner = a.owner
 and b.r_constraint_name = a.constraint_name
 and b.status = 'DISABLED' ;



The query will generate all the SQL statements you need to re-enable the foreign key constraints.
