This post will explain constraints in Microsoft SQL Server, specifically PRIMARY KEY and UNIQUE Constraints. All constraints are categorized into 3 types: Entity Integrity Constraints. Domain Integrity Constraints. Referential Integrity Constraints. A constraint is nothing but an additional condition that is...
It points out what features of integrity constraints in SQL support which features of the entity-relationship model by discussing how to map an entity-relationship schema into a SQL schema. In order to organize the analysis, the paper distinguishes three levels of the entity-relationship model. ...
An analysis of SQL integrity constraints from an entity-relationship model perspective This paper presents an analysis of the integrity constraints defined in the SQL ISO standard disclosure in the light of the entity-relationship model. It p... AHF Laender,MA Casanova,APD Carvalho,... - 《Infor...

In the first stage, the checker tries the different ways of building a counterexample for the containment test without taking into account the integrity constraints of the schema. The idea is that to satisfy a query Q in which all entity/association sets are distinct, we need at most one ...
Before you create a new entity relationship programmatically, check to see whether the entities are eligible to participate in the relationship. There are constraints applied to entity relationships that use the followingEntityMetadataproperties:CanBeInManyToMany,CanBePrimaryEntityInRelationship, andCan...
After a many-to-many relationship, one of the more difficult relationships to express in SQL is a recursive relationship. This is a nonidentifying, nonmandatory relationship in which the same entity is both the parent and the child. Figure 8.10 shows the entity DimEmployee, with EmployeeKey be...
Even if the Entity Framework supported unique constraints somehow, I doubt they'd be enforced properly; I don't think SQL Server can do it. If you attempted to swap the order of two things the submit would fail because the unique constraint index is checked after each row update. What ...
Tables that map to the same bean must not have referential integrity constraints declared between their primary keys. If they do, removal of a bean instance can result in a runtime error. You map the cmp-fields of a bean to the columns of a table using the table-map element in weblogic...
The purpose of entity identifiers in database design is to uniquely distinguish each record (or instance) within a table or entity. These identifiers, often called primary keys, play a crucial role in ensuring the integrity and structure of the database. Here's why entity identifiers are ...
