C# - SQL Server 2008: Use A Constraint?
Mar 9, 2010
I have a table with three fields, User, City and Country, where exactly one of the fields must be non-NULL at all times. Can I use an SQL constraint for this or should I rethink what I'm doing?
The scenario is that my database should contain documents that can be attached to users, cities or countries. So a row in this table contains exactly one document for either a user, a city or a country. However, one should be able to search for all documents as well, regardless of what entity it has been "attached" to.
The reason I'm not using three different tables instead is that I want to avoid having to JOIN the three tables when searching for documents in all of the three places. I'm imagining that the kind of denormalization I'm attempting to use here will improve performance.

I try to create one CONSTRAINT in Sql Server 2008 which checked that:
if Frecuencia = 0 then EsPar <> null
I try to do this:
ALTER TABLE [IngresoxConsorcio] WITH NOCHECK
ADD CONSTRAINT CheckBimestral
CHECK(Frecuencia = 2 AND EsPar <> null)
But obviously don't works

let say i have 2 table (PARENT and STUDENT table)
the structure for both table are
STUDENT
PARENT
student_id (PK) parent_id (PK)
student_parent (FK) parent_status (the value is either ACTIVE OR INACTIVE)
- parent_id is refer by STUDENT table as a foreign key
- now i want to inactive the status for parent
- i want my system pop out a message something like "The parent you want to inactive is refer by a student, inactive is not allow"
- is it any constraint in SQL Server 2005 to help me check whether parent it is refer by student table? The concept i want to use is something like delete constraint in SQL Server 2005 mean it is not allow to delete a person who is refer by a student in STUDENT table.

I'd really like to know how to do the same thing in my code as going into sql server management studio, clicking on the design of a table, and then from the file menu scrolling to the relationships and disabling the foreign key constraint by selecting no to the 'enforce foreign key constraint'.

i have a bizar situation, i have a SSIS package which imports records from a flatfile.First i get rid of all the double records, so I keep only unique records before I put them into the desired table.I have put a dataviewer on the flow and notice that there are no duplicate records, and though the SSIS package fails with a violoation of a promary key constraint.Hs anyone seen this before? It is really strange.

Is it possible to allow repeated nulls on a column with a unique constraint? This column will won't always be populated with data upon insert, a condition must be met before the value is update. Once updated, it needs to be unique. Do I need to assign a temporary, random value or

I have a SQL Server 2000 table with 7 columns and would like to add a constraint that prevents a row being added with the same value for both Col2 and Col3.
So, for example, if Col2 = 205 and Col3 = 5, then the constraint should prevent inserting another row with the values for Col2 = 205 and Col3 = 5.
The following is an example of what I would like to prevent:
Col1 Col2 Col3 Col4 Col5 Col6
1 205 5 1 1 1
2 205 5 0 0 0

Would something be missing, not working, or confusing if I do this? First, install SQL Server 2008 Standard, and SP1. Then, install Visual Studio 2010 Professional, unchecking SQL Server 2008 Express option. Or would I need to fix any configurations afterwards?

I have looked at all the posts I can find on this problem and tried everything I can think of, but still the problem persists. I am getting really sick of it.was working fine for the last year until an update to MS Office 2007 caused a lot of problems (automatic update). After checking posts here, I removed it completely. No change. I then tried all the things I could find on other posts, also no change. Today, I removed VS and the Web Authoring Component and re-installed. Still no go.
Does anyone have a fix for this problem. It seems that it has been around a long time, but is still giving problems. I even saw one suggestion to reformat the drive! You've got to be joking!

I'm creating a website and I'm testing resgistering and Log-in.
I followed a simple tutorial to create a Log-in in Visual Studio C# template which generated a SQL Server database.Locally the Log-in and registration page works perfectly. The problem is that when I upload my site to the hosting site the navigation works but the Log-in and Registration forms send an error when clicked "Register" or "Log-in". I contacted the site and they upload my database the way it should be because I was doing it wrong. I can see all my files including the data base.
They commented me that I had to do a connection string to the data base so the login and registration forms can work. I don't understand how to do that, I know the connection string has to be declared in the Web Config File, the thing is that I don't know how to write that code and link it to my data base in the hosting site, in fact I have sample code but I don't know just what do I need to put in it.

This issues has been driving me nuts. I am trying to follow the tutorial on [URL] I am trying to connect to a database in Microsoft SQL Server 2008. The way I do this is by right clicking on the "Data Connections" > Add Connection. Afterwards the Add Connection window comes up, I make sure my data source is "Microsoft SQL Server (SqlClient). And, I choose a server name; the only server I can choose is DomainSQLEXPRESS. The issue is when I go down to the "Select or enter a database name" drop down box, I do not see my database listed. I have also made sure in the SQL Server Management Studio that I have given my user all the privileges for the database. I know my explanation is kind of vague, but would anyone know the reason why I would not see my database?
