Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> delete from table question
Hi All -
I am trying to delete from a table that has 24 child tables. Because the
constraints are not 'cascade delete', I am hitting the following:
ORA-02292: integrity constraint (NVALET.FK_TOPOGROUPMEMBERNE2) violated -
child
record found
If I want to go ahead and delete the child records as well, there seem to
be 2 options:
1. Write a sql/plsql procedure to delete the child records first before
each deleting each record from the parent table.
2. Recreate the constraints with 'cascade delete' and delete the records
from parent table. After that recreate the constraints again without
cascade delete.
Either option requires some work. Does anybody have a better idea? Also can anybody have a script to recreate all constraints to share?
TIA
