If the db is Oracle 8, you could use the alter table tablename enforce constraint constraintname. This command will enforce the constraint for all new data inserted and will not check data currently in the table. But I would still want to identify the rows violating the constraint and deal with them. You could have a bad app running out there.
Michele -----Original Message----- Sent: Friday, January 11, 2002 10:10 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Hi I found some of constraint in database is disable and its type is R. When I try to enable by alter table tablename enable constraint constraintname; It showing following error "ERROR at line 1: ORA-02298: cannot validate (AWAY.GT_TRACK_CAT_REF_SRCH_TRACK) - parent keys not found" How to coenable these constraints?
