SQL Server支持禁用和启用外键约束吗?还是我唯一的选择就是放弃这些限制,然后重新创造这些限制?


当前回答

您可以暂时禁用表上的约束,进行工作,然后重新构建它们。

这里有一个简单的方法…

禁用所有索引,包括主键,这将禁用所有外键,然后重新启用主键,以便您可以使用它们…

DECLARE @sql AS NVARCHAR(max)=''
select @sql = @sql +
    'ALTER INDEX ALL ON [' + t.[name] + '] DISABLE;'+CHAR(13)
from  
    sys.tables t
where type='u'

select @sql = @sql +
    'ALTER INDEX ' + i.[name] + ' ON [' + t.[name] + '] REBUILD;'+CHAR(13)
from  
    sys.key_constraints i
join
    sys.tables t on i.parent_object_id=t.object_id
where
    i.type='PK'


exec dbo.sp_executesql @sql;
go

[做一些事情,比如加载数据]

然后重新启用和重建索引……

DECLARE @sql AS NVARCHAR(max)=''
select @sql = @sql +
    'ALTER INDEX ALL ON [' + t.[name] + '] REBUILD;'+CHAR(13)
from  
    sys.tables t
where type='u'

exec dbo.sp_executesql @sql;
go

Foreign key constraints and check constraint are very useful for enforcing data integrity and business rules. There are certain scenarios though where it is useful to temporarily turn them off because their behavior is either not needed or could do more harm than good. I sometimes disable constraint checking on tables during data loads from external sources or when I need to script a table drop/recreate with reloading the data back into the table. I usually do it in scenarios where I don't want a time consuming process to fail because one or a few of many million rows have bad data in it. But I always turn the constraints back on once the process is finished and also in some cases I run data integrity checks on the imported data.

如果禁用外键约束,则可以插入父表中不存在的值。如果禁用检查约束,则可以将值放入列中,就像检查约束不存在一样。下面是禁用和启用表约束的一些例子:

——禁用所有表约束 修改表MyTable NOCHECK约束 ——启用所有表约束 修改MyTable,检查检查约束全部 ——禁用单个约束 修改表MyTable NOCHECK约束 ——启用单一约束 ALTER TABLE MyTable WITH CHECK CHECK CONSTRAINT MyConstraint

SET NOCOUNT ON

DECLARE @table TABLE(
   RowId INT PRIMARY KEY IDENTITY(1, 1),
   ForeignKeyConstraintName NVARCHAR(200),
   ForeignKeyConstraintTableSchema NVARCHAR(200),
   ForeignKeyConstraintTableName NVARCHAR(200),
   ForeignKeyConstraintColumnName NVARCHAR(200),
   PrimaryKeyConstraintName NVARCHAR(200),
   PrimaryKeyConstraintTableSchema NVARCHAR(200),
   PrimaryKeyConstraintTableName NVARCHAR(200),
   PrimaryKeyConstraintColumnName NVARCHAR(200),
   UpdateRule NVARCHAR(100),
   DeleteRule NVARCHAR(100)   
)

INSERT INTO @table(ForeignKeyConstraintName, ForeignKeyConstraintTableSchema, ForeignKeyConstraintTableName, ForeignKeyConstraintColumnName)
SELECT 
   U.CONSTRAINT_NAME, 
   U.TABLE_SCHEMA, 
   U.TABLE_NAME, 
   U.COLUMN_NAME
FROM 
   INFORMATION_SCHEMA.KEY_COLUMN_USAGE U
      INNER JOIN INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLE_CONSTRAINTS C
         ON U.CONSTRAINT_NAME = C.CONSTRAINT_NAME
WHERE
   C.CONSTRAINT_TYPE = 'FOREIGN KEY'

UPDATE @table SET
   T.PrimaryKeyConstraintName = R.UNIQUE_CONSTRAINT_NAME,
   T.UpdateRule = R.UPDATE_RULE,
   T.DeleteRule = R.DELETE_RULE
FROM 
   @table T
      INNER JOIN INFORMATION_SCHEMA.REFERENTIAL_CONSTRAINTS R
         ON T.ForeignKeyConstraintName = R.CONSTRAINT_NAME

UPDATE @table SET
   PrimaryKeyConstraintTableSchema  = TABLE_SCHEMA,
   PrimaryKeyConstraintTableName  = TABLE_NAME
FROM @table T
   INNER JOIN INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLE_CONSTRAINTS C
      ON T.PrimaryKeyConstraintName = C.CONSTRAINT_NAME

UPDATE @table SET
   PrimaryKeyConstraintColumnName = COLUMN_NAME
FROM @table T
   INNER JOIN INFORMATION_SCHEMA.KEY_COLUMN_USAGE U
      ON T.PrimaryKeyConstraintName = U.CONSTRAINT_NAME

--SELECT * FROM @table

SELECT '
BEGIN TRANSACTION
BEGIN TRY'

--DROP CONSTRAINT:
SELECT
   '
 ALTER TABLE [' + ForeignKeyConstraintTableSchema + '].[' + ForeignKeyConstraintTableName + '] 
 DROP CONSTRAINT ' + ForeignKeyConstraintName + '
   '
FROM
   @table

SELECT '
END TRY

BEGIN CATCH
   ROLLBACK TRANSACTION
   RAISERROR(''Operation failed.'', 16, 1)
END CATCH

IF(@@TRANCOUNT != 0)
BEGIN
   COMMIT TRANSACTION
   RAISERROR(''Operation completed successfully.'', 10, 1)
END
'

--ADD CONSTRAINT:
SELECT '
BEGIN TRANSACTION
BEGIN TRY'

SELECT
   '
   ALTER TABLE [' + ForeignKeyConstraintTableSchema + '].[' + ForeignKeyConstraintTableName + '] 
   ADD CONSTRAINT ' + ForeignKeyConstraintName + ' FOREIGN KEY(' + ForeignKeyConstraintColumnName + ') REFERENCES [' + PrimaryKeyConstraintTableSchema + '].[' + PrimaryKeyConstraintTableName + '](' + PrimaryKeyConstraintColumnName + ') ON UPDATE ' + UpdateRule + ' ON DELETE ' + DeleteRule + '
   '
FROM
   @table

SELECT '
END TRY

BEGIN CATCH
   ROLLBACK TRANSACTION
   RAISERROR(''Operation failed.'', 16, 1)
END CATCH

IF(@@TRANCOUNT != 0)
BEGIN
   COMMIT TRANSACTION
   RAISERROR(''Operation completed successfully.'', 10, 1)
END'

GO

你可以使用以下命令轻松切换CONSTRAINT: 修改表TableName不检查约束所有

完成交易后,不要忘记使用以下方法再次开启: 修改表表名检查约束全部

要禁用约束,您可以使用NOCHECK更改表

ALTER TABLE [TABLE_NAME] NOCHECK CONSTRAINT [ALL|CONSTRAINT_NAME]

要使您必须使用双重检查:

ALTER TABLE [TABLE_NAME] WITH CHECK CHECK CONSTRAINT [ALL|CONSTRAINT_NAME]

启用时请注意双重CHECK CHECK。 ALL表示表中的所有约束。

一旦完成,如果您需要检查状态,使用这个脚本列出约束状态。会很有帮助:

    SELECT (CASE 
        WHEN OBJECTPROPERTY(CONSTID, 'CNSTISDISABLED') = 0 THEN 'ENABLED'
        ELSE 'DISABLED'
        END) AS STATUS,
        OBJECT_NAME(CONSTID) AS CONSTRAINT_NAME,
        OBJECT_NAME(FKEYID) AS TABLE_NAME,
        COL_NAME(FKEYID, FKEY) AS COLUMN_NAME,
        OBJECT_NAME(RKEYID) AS REFERENCED_TABLE_NAME,
        COL_NAME(RKEYID, RKEY) AS REFERENCED_COLUMN_NAME
   FROM SYSFOREIGNKEYS
ORDER BY TABLE_NAME, CONSTRAINT_NAME,REFERENCED_TABLE_NAME, KEYNO 

几乎可以肯定,检查是必须的!

在一些回答和评论中提出了这一点,但我认为再次提出这一点非常重要。

使用以下命令(不使用WITH CHECK)重新启用约束会有一些严重的缺陷。

ALTER TABLE MyTable CHECK CONSTRAINT MyConstraint;

WITH CHECK | WITH NOCHECK Specifies whether the data in the table is or is not validated against a newly added or re-enabled FOREIGN KEY or CHECK constraint. If not specified, WITH CHECK is assumed for new constraints, and WITH NOCHECK is assumed for re-enabled constraints. If you do not want to verify new CHECK or FOREIGN KEY constraints against existing data, use WITH NOCHECK. We do not recommend doing this, except in rare cases. The new constraint will be evaluated in all later data updates. Any constraint violations that are suppressed by WITH NOCHECK when the constraint is added may cause future updates to fail if they update rows with data that does not comply with the constraint. The query optimizer does not consider constraints that are defined WITH NOCHECK. Such constraints are ignored until they are re-enabled by using ALTER TABLE table WITH CHECK CHECK CONSTRAINT ALL.

注意:WITH NOCHECK是重新启用约束的默认值。我想知道为什么……

No existing data in the table will be evaluated during the execution of this command - successful completion is no guarantee that the data in the table is valid according to the constraint. During the next update of the invalid records, the constraint will be evaluated and will fail - resulting in errors that may be unrelated to the actual update that is made. Application logic that relies on the constraint to ensure that data is valid may fail. The query optimizer will not make use of any constraint that is enabled in this way.

sys。Foreign_keys系统视图提供了一些问题的可见性。注意,它有一个is_disabled列和一个is_not_trusted列。Is_disabled指示是否根据约束验证未来的数据操作。Is_not_trusted指示表中当前的所有数据是否已经根据约束进行了验证。

ALTER TABLE MyTable WITH CHECK CHECK CONSTRAINT MyConstraint;

你的约束是可信的吗?找出……

SELECT * FROM sys.foreign_keys WHERE is_not_trusted = 1;
