Hi all,

I am facing a unique constraint error in primary key table while trying to insert row in a table.
With knowing the constraint name
in parent table, i would like to find a matching foreign key table and
the corresponding data in child table.

Can anybody provide me the script to find corresponding foreign key in child table ?
and advice me how to solve this unique constraint issue.


Regards,

To find the matching fk you need the constraint name unless there is only one fk to that table.

What error are you actually getting?
Because unique key violations have nothing do with child tables.

To find the fk look in user_constraints.

So why are you worrying about fk's?
You're violating a constraint on the table you're inserting into, not a related table.
You need to stop inserting data that's already present.

If you need further help post your code along with the table structure and details of the unique constraint - use code tags.

Sorry i cannot post the code as it is confidential.

This error occurred while trying to insert rows into parent table which has primary key.
So i think we need to refer foreign key in the child table for this error.


Please advice.

You are mistaken.
UNIQUE constraint prevents duplicate PK

Thanks for your answer.

May i know the query which would display the respective data of foreign key from
child table which refers to the primary key (constraint_name) of parent table.

Say for example
I want to find the foreign key of child table which refers to the primary key of parent table.

Please provide if there is any script for this.

At the time you INSERT a new parent row, by definition NO child rows can exist for this yet to be COMMITed parent row.

INSERT of new parent row, has NO impact on child table!

query ALL_CONSTRAINTS for PK/FK relationships
