By preventing empty keys, you stop duplicate or ambiguous identifiers from causing confusion. You also ensure that each record in your system has a distinct place, which promotes better organization. When you rely on this principle, your data becomes simpler to query and maintain because every row...

You can create a primary key in SQL with thePRIMARY KEYconstraint, which is essentially a combination of theUNIQUEandNOT NULLconstraints. After defining a primary key, the DBMS will automatically create anindexassociated with it. An index is a database structure that helps to retrieve data from...
Posted by Richard Foote in 11g, Constraints, Foreign Keys, Index Monitoring. 15 comments One of the questions asked of indexes is are they actually being used or are they sitting there looking pretty not being used, wasting valuable resources and storage. One possible method of determining wh...
Integrity constraints (ICs) are semantic conditions that a database should satisfy in order to be in a consistent state. Typically, ICs are declared with the database schema and enforced by the database management system (DBMS). However, in practice, ICs may not be specified to the DBMS ...
There may be foreign keys pointing to the current primary key (Technically the second point also applies to unique constraints. Foreign keys can point at both unique and primary keys. In practice almost all foreign keys reference primary keys; usually you only have to consider them when changing...

Can row_number() work in UNION STATEMENTS ? Can someone explain just exactly why xp_cmdshell is such a massive risk?! Can SQL Profiler give you the Missing Index information? Can Symmetric keys be used in a view? Can table-valued parameter be null? Can the "print" command be told not...
only when a value for that attribute is inserted or updated Example: CHECK (year <= 2030) checks every new year and rejects it if it is more than 2030. Example: CHECK (studioName IN (SELECT name FROM Studio)) not checked if a studio is deleted from Studio (unlike foreign-keys) ...
constraints. Constraints are the rules enforced on data columns of a table. We use constraints to limit the type of data that can go into a table. This helps ensure the accuracy and reliability of the data in the database, which, is of course really important. Find this stuff really ...
