I know it
looks like a semi-colon error, but it’s not. Please send me one of your examples that you know works and
I’ll modify and try here. David B. Wagoner Database Administrator Arsenal Digital Solutions Worldwide Inc. 4815 Emperor

doing wrong? I did not find much
information in the docs about deferred constraints. SQL>

Message----- I have
had the same type of requirement and decided to use deferrable constraints. Works
great! Rick -----Original Message----- Not good approach. Instead, use 'deferrable constraints,
should work in your situation. Igor Neyman, OCP DBA -----

Script to Disable Constraint, Change Value, then Enable Const I can see the
confusion here. The point is not
to let someone enter data that would violate
the referential integrity. Let me
explain with an example: 1. User wants to update a primary key record in parent
table 2. Dependent data exists in a child table so the user
gets an error while trying to perform step 1 3. It is necessary to disable the FK constraint in order
to update both tables 4. Enable the FK constraint successfully Does that make
sense? This is a process we have
to do routinely and it has happened in the
past that the FK was mistakenly not re-enabled, which allowed
"illegal" data to be loaded later. Thus the need for a script. David B. Wagoner Database Administrator Arsenal Digital Solutions

constraint that WILL enforce data integrity, then letting the user input
whatever rubbish he wants to, and are then going to try and enable the
constraint afterwards? Not a good approach.. How can you ensure that the user hasn't put a
duplicate value in (unique constraint) or something else that might break the
constraint rule? The only way you are going to know is when you try and
re-enable the constraint it will fail.. I struggle to see why you would want to do this - do you have any
more info? -----Original
Message----- Listers, Does anyone have a script
that will do the following: 1.
Accept user input for old data value 2.
Accept user input for new data value 3.
Disable table constraint 4.
Update record with new data value 5.
Enable constraint A script like this would
help ensure that constraints are not left "off" after updates,
allowing "illegal" data into the tables. Good user-proof script I would think. TIA, david David B. Wagoner Database Administrator Arsenal Digital
