Hi All,

I need to diable all constraints in my table.
Using single SQL statement, will it be possible..
I know how to disable each constraint in table.

But my table is so big and it has many constraints.

So, could any body provide the syntax to disable constaints in table with single SQL statemet...

Awaiting your response.

Thanks & Regards,

Babu SRSB.

Spool something like this into a file and then execute it; as there's no a single SQL statement to disable all constraints on a table, I'm afraid you'll have to help yourself with such a query.

SELECT 'ALTER TABLE ' || 
        uc.table_name ||
      ' DISABLE CONSTRAINT ' ||
        uc.constraint_name   || ' ;'
FROM user_constraints uc, 
     user_tables ut
WHERE uc.table_name = ut.table_name
  AND ut.table_name = 'EMP';

CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE p_disable_constraint(p_table_name IN VARCHAR)
AS
CURSOR c_disable_constraint
IS
select constraint_name from all_constraints
where table_name = p_table_name;
BEGIN
FOR I in c_disable_constraint
LOOP
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'ALTER TABLE ' || p_table_name || ' DISABLE CONSTRAINT ' || i.constraint_name;
END LOOP;
END;

And execute the procedure with table name.
