I have a table with email as unique constraint. But when I try to insert the values. It showing unique constraint error, even there is no data in the table. If I try delete query it returns 0 results. I'm using PostgreSQL 12

I have created two tables in Snowflake.
create or replace TRANSIENT TABLE TESTPARENT (
COL1 NUMBER(38,0) NOT NULL,
COL2 VARCHAR(16777216) NOT NULL,
COL3 VARCHAR(16777216) NOT NULL,
constraint UNIQ_COL3 unique (COL3)
);
create or replace TRANSIENT TABLE TESTCHILD3 (
COL_A NUMBER(38,0) NOT NULL,
COL_B NUMBER(38,0) NOT NULL,
ABCDEF VARCHAR(16777216) NOT NULL,
constraint FKEY_1 foreign key (COL_A, COL_B) references TEST_DB.PUBLIC.TESTPARENT1(COL1,COL2),
constraint FKEY_2 foreign key (ABCDEF) references TEST_DB.PUBLIC.TESTPARENT(COL3)
);
Now I want to execute a query and see the names of columns that are involved in FKEY_2 FOREIGN KEY
in Table TESTCHILD3, but it seems like there are no DB Table/View that keeps this information. I can find out the column names for UNIQUE KEY & PRIMARY KEY but there is nothing for FOREIGN KEYS.
EDIT
I have already tried INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLE_CONSTRAINTS, along with INFORMATION_SCHEMA.REFERENTIAL_CONSTRAINTS and all the other system tables. No luck. Only DESC TABLE is giving me some info related to CONSTRAINTS and COLUMNS but that also has FOREIGN KEY CONSTRAINTS information missing.
SHOW IMPORTED KEYS IN TABLE <fk_table_name>;
Updated answer:
I was checking on something unrelated and noticed a very efficient way to list all primary and foreign keys:
show exported keys in account; -- Foreign keys
show primary keys in account;
When you limit the call to a table, it appears you have to request the foreign keys that point to the parent table:
show exported keys in table "DB_NAME"."SCHEMA_NAME"."PARENT_TABLE";
You can check the documentation for how to limit the show command to a specific database or schema, but this returns rich information in a table very quickly.
maybe you can try to query this view: INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLE_CONSTRAINTS
Note: TABLE_CONSTRAINTS only displays objects for which the current role for the session has been granted access privileges.

There are some duplicates in a table say tableA, however of id of tableA is a foreign key in another table. So before deleting the records in tableA I would like to update the foreign key in this other table. This is the schema of the other table.
Table Schema:
id
foriegn_key_id
attribute_id
Indexes:
"index_table_on_attribute_id_and_foriegn_key_id" UNIQUE, btree (attribute_id, foriegn_key_id)
Sample data:
id foriegn_key_id attribute_id
1 2 3
2 1 3
3 1 4
4 1 5
Below is the code that I tried to update the foreign key.
Table.where(foriegn_key_id: 1).update(foriegn_key_id: 2)
However, when the try the above code I get the following error.
ActiveRecord::RecordNotUnique
For the records I am getting the error alone I would like to have it deleted.
Is looping through and updating individual record and deleting the record that gets ActiveRecord::RecordNotUnique the only way or is there a simpler way?
I have an old application I am supporting that uses a Microsoft Access database. The original table design did not add primary keys to every table. I am working on a migration program that among other things is adding and filling in a new primary key field (GUID) when needed.
This is happening in three steps:
Add a new guid field with no constraints
Fill the field with new unique guids
Add the primary key constraints
My problem is setting the unique guids when the table has duplicate rows. Here is my code to set the guids.
Query.SQL.Add('SELECT * FROM ' + TableName);
Query.Open;
while Query.Eof = false do
begin
Query.Edit;
Query.FieldByName(NewPrimaryKeyFieldName).AsGuid := TGuid.NewGuid;
Query.Post;
Query.Next;
end;
FireDac generates an update statement that contains a where clause with all the original fields/values in the row (since there is no unique field for it to use). However, because the rows are complete duplicates the statement still updates two rows.
FireDac correctly errors with this message
Update command updated [2] instead of [1] record.
I can open up the database in Access and delete the duplicate records or assign them a unique guid by editing the table. I would like my conversion tool to automatically do this.
Is there some way to work with these duplicate rows in FireDac? Either to update just one at a time, or to delete just one of them?
In my opinion there is no way to do it with just one SQL Statement.
I would do this:
1. Copy the whole table without duplicates by using a new temp table
SELECT DISTINCT * FROM <TABLENAME>
Add the Keys
Delete old table content and copy new content from new table
Notes:
The DB Should be unavailable for everyone else for that Operation
2. Make BACKUP before
I want to generate a value in a column based on the database ID ActiveRecord assigns to my record. Normally, I would just add an after save callback where this value is generated and than saved to the database.
Unfortunately, I have to deal with a not-null constraint on that column, so it needs to be assigned at the same time when I get an ID. Is there a thread-safe way, to combine both?
You could write your code in transaction block, where you first find the maximum value of id column in the given table and than use that ID value to generate value of other column. Will that work for you?
ActiveRecord::Base.transaction do
id = maximum(:id)
other_column = "#{id} some string"
create(other_column: other_column)
end
Continuing to the post of reading-from-XML-and-storing-the-values-in-database-using-grails
am facing an another problem in it. As the employee id is related to other tables as foreign key how am suppose to insert the data into the database without conflict what i want to add in grails code to avoid the below displayed error.
com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.jdbc4.MySQLIntegrityConstraintViolationException:Cannot
add or update a child rowL a foreign key constraint fails.. ( CONSTRAINT 'EMPLOYEE_ID_HEADER'
FOREIGN KEY ('EMPLOYEE_ID') REFERENCES 'employee_header'('employee_id'))
here employee_id is a column and employee_header is a separate table that contains employee_id as a foreign key.
Finally I got the answer, when you are inserting the values in database the related foreign key tables will get affects initially. So to handle this situation we have to insert the foreign key related table at first then the table we need to add exactly.
For the reference, at first I had given the code like this
sql.executeInsert("insert into order_item (order_id,product_id,
order_item_seq_id) values (${order_id},${product_id},${order_item_seq_id})")
sql.executeInsert("insert into product(product_id) values(${product_id})")
This first inserts the order_item table then the foreignkey constraint table product, so the data did not inserted. So the correct code is
sql.executeInsert("insert into order_header(order_id) values(${order_id})")
sql.executeInsert("insert into product(product_id) values(${product_id})")
sql.executeInsert("insert into order_item (order_id,product_id,
order_item_seq_id) values (${order_id},${product_id},${order_item_seq_id})")
Now this inserts the data successfully without errors.
