Oracle使用外键来限制子表中参考的字段值,要求子表中的数据必须在主表中存在。当主表的记录发生变化时导致外键参考唯一约束值发生了变化时,Oracle指定了三种动作:默认值(类似于restrict)、delete cascade和delete set null。1.创建主表及子表并简单初始化几条数据1)创建主表t_parent,并初始化三条记录sec@ora10g> create table t_parent (parent_id int primary key, name varchar2(10));
sec@ora10g> insert into t_parent values (1,'record1');
sec@ora10g> insert into t_parent values (2,'record2');
sec@ora10g> insert into t_parent values (3,'record3');
sec@ora10g> commit;
2)创建三种类型的子表t_child1、t_child2和t_child3
(1)no action类型
sec@ora10g> create table t_child1 (child1_id int primary key, parent_id int);
sec@ora10g> alter table t_child1 add constraint FK_t_child1 foreign key (parent_id) references t_parent (parent_id);
sec@ora10g> insert into t_child1 values (1,1);
sec@ora10g> commit;
(1)cascade类型
sec@ora10g> create table t_child2 (child2_id int primary key, parent_id int);
sec@ora10g> alter table t_child2 add constraint FK_t_child2 foreign key (parent_id) references t_parent (parent_id) on delete cascade;
sec@ora10g> insert into t_child2 values (2,2);
sec@ora10g> commit;
(1)set null类型
sec@ora10g> create table t_child3 (child2_id int primary key, parent_id int);
sec@ora10g> alter table t_child3 add constraint FK_t_child3 foreign key (parent_id) references t_parent (parent_id) on delete set null;
sec@ora10g> insert into t_child3 values (3,3);
sec@ora10g> commit;
2.确认主表和子表中的数据
sec@ora10g> select * from T_PARENT;
PARENT_ID NAME
---------- ------------------------------
1 record1
2 record2
3 record3
sec@ora10g> select * from T_CHILD1;
CHILD1_ID PARENT_ID
---------- ----------
1 1
sec@ora10g> select * from T_CHILD2;
CHILD2_ID PARENT_ID
---------- ----------
2 2
sec@ora10g> select * from T_CHILD3;
CHILD2_ID PARENT_ID
---------- ----------
3 3
3.尝试对具有默认类型外键参照的主表记录进行删除
sec@ora10g> delete from T_PARENT where parent_id = 1;
delete from T_PARENT where parent_id = 1
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-02292: integrity constraint (SEC.FK_T_CHILD1) violated - child record found
sec@ora10g> select * from T_CHILD1;
CHILD1_ID PARENT_ID
---------- ----------
1 1
在此类型下,不允许删除。
4.尝试对具有delete cascade类型外键参照的主表记录进行删除
sec@ora10g> delete from T_PARENT where parent_id = 2;
1 row deleted.
sec@ora10g> select * from T_CHILD2;
no rows selected
成功,级联删除成功。
5.尝试对具有delete set null类型外键参照的主表记录进行删除
sec@ora10g> delete from T_PARENT where parent_id = 3;
1 row deleted.
sec@ora10g> select * from T_CHILD3;
CHILD2_ID PARENT_ID
---------- ----------
3
主表记录可以完成删除,子表中对应的内容被设置为NULL。
