单个主键的2个外键引用

Question

I have 3 tables: agreement, user, emails as follows and the id in user table is acting as a foreign key in email table(id(FK)) as well as agreement table id_two(FK).

I have referenced id(Foriegn Key) in emails table to id(Primary key) in user table using the below code successfully:

 ALTER TABLE emails MODIFY COLUMN id INT NOT NULL, ADD CONSTRAINT id FOREIGN KEY(id) REFERENCES user(id); 

But i am getting an error #1022 - Can't write; duplicate key in table '#sql-13f0_30e'

when i execute the below query to refer id_two of agreement table to id(PK) of user table.

 ALTER TABLE agreement MODIFY COLUMN id_two INT NOT NULL, ADD CONSTRAINT id_two FOREIGN KEY(id_two) REFERENCES user(id); 

Answer 1

That's most probably because you already have a constraint defined in agreement table named id_two . Change the name of the constraint and see

ALTER TABLE agreement MODIFY COLUMN id_two INT NOT NULL,
 ADD CONSTRAINT id_FK2
 FOREIGN KEY(id_two)
 REFERENCES user(id); 

Answer 2

Primary key is a column or group of columns that uniquely identify a row. Every table should have a primary key. And a table cannot have more than one primary key.

Foreign key is a column or set of columns in one table whose values must have matching values in the primary key of another (or the same) table. A foreign key is said to reference its primary key. Foreign keys are a mechanism for maintaining data integrity.

For your problem, I have created the script for you. I did it from scratch since I need to have table available before adding the constraints but I didn't added all columns, sorry!!:

--Create user table and add id as primary key

    CREATE TABLE user
    ( 
      Id Number (5) ,
      Username Varchar2 (25),
      Eamil Varchar2 (25),
       CONSTRAINT user_pk PRIMARY KEY (id)
    );

--Create "agreement" table and add "Agreement_Id" as primary key

    CREATE TABLE agreement
    ( 
      Id_Two Number (5) ,
      Agreement_Id Varchar2 (25),
      type Varchar2 (25),
       Constraint agreement_Pk Primary Key (agreement_id)
    );

--Create "email" table and add "email_Id" as primary key


    CREATE TABLE email
    ( 
      Id Number (5) ,
      Agreement_Id Varchar2 (25),
      Eamil_Id Varchar2 (25),
       Constraint email_Pk Primary Key (Eamil_Id)
    );

Now added constraints:

1. Foriegn key for "Agreement" table from "user" table:

    Alter Table Agreement
    ADD CONSTRAINT fk_agreement1
    Foreign Key (Id_Two)
    REFERENCES user(id)

2. Foreign key for "email" table from "Agreement" table:


    Alter Table Email
    ADD CONSTRAINT fk_email1
    Foreign Key (Agreement_Id)
    REFERENCES Agreement(Agreement_Id)

3. Foreign key for "email" table from "user" table:

    Alter Table Email
    ADD CONSTRAINT fk_email2
    Foreign Key (id)
    REFERENCES user(id)

Thus, you can add all constraints.

Answer 3

You have to give a different name to your foreign key (the name seems to be already taken). Change the name and it should work.

CONSTRAINT fk_email_user FOREIGN KEY (id) REFERENCES user(id);
