sql - Unique constraint calling user defined function -



sql - Unique constraint calling user defined function -

i have 2 tables:

create table primarytable ( value nvarchar(50) not null primary key type not null ) create table secondarytable ( value nvarchar(50) not null, synonym nvarchar(50) not null, constraint pk_secondarytable primary key (value, synonym) )

so, there can many synonyms each value. want deny adding more synonyms if synonym+gettypeforvalue(value) not unique.

so e.g.

primarytable: ------------- value | type -------------|--------- toyota f-150 | carmake gmc canyon | carmake secondarytable: --------------- value | synonym -------------|--------------- toyota f-150 | toyota pickup gmc canyon | gmc pickup

is ok, but

primarytable: ------------- value | type -------------|---------------- toyota f-150 | carmake gmc canyon | carmake secondarytable: --------------- value | synonym -------------|----- toyota f-150 | pickup gmc canyon | pickup

should not ok (synonym + value's associated type not unique).

i tried making function

create function uf_gettypeforvalue(@value nvarchar(50)) returns nvarchar(50) begin homecoming (select type primarytable p p.value = @value) end

and add together unique constraint secondarytable:

alter table secondarytable add together constraint uc_secondarytable_synonym_unique_for_type unique (synonym, uf_gettypeforvalue(value))

however, error message on incorrect syntax near '('.

i have sucessfully called functions check-constraints before, apparently can't unique constraints?

is there syntax trick need know or how can accomplish way?

from syntax here, think can columns unique constraint. however, see "check" constraint can contain logical expression. utilize accomplish it. create row count query within function so:

--drop function numberofsimilarrows create function numberofsimilarrows(@synonymtocheck nvarchar(50), @valuetocheck nvarchar(50)) returns int begin declare @rowcount int select @rowcount = count(*) secondarytable synonym = @synonymtocheck , value = dbo.uf_gettypeforvalue(@valuetocheck) homecoming @rowcount end;

then can utilize in check constraint so:

alter table secondarytable add together constraint uc_secondarytable_synonym_unique_for_type check (dbo.numberofsimilarrows(synonym, value) <= 1 );

c - Compilation of a code: unkown type name string - i have next lines of code compiler says following: "unknown type name 'string'" both in declaration , definition of function. can tell me what's wrong? thanks. #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <string.h> void frecognizeclient(string *actualclient) there no string type in c. need utilize array so: char array[10]; then can pass in function: void frecognizeclient(char *actualclient); c arrays string compilation

java - Bypassing "final local variable defined in an enclosing type" - i'm writing programme , i'm getting "the final local variable asd cannot assigned, since it's defined in enclosing type". i provide illustration not code produces error aswell. have arraylist utilize later (if define within button can't utilize later on), outside of button, pressing button should give values arraylist. in illustration "create new arraylist" cause same problem. button btn = new button("asd"); final arraylist asd = new arraylist(); btn.setonaction(new eventhandler<actionevent>() { public void handle(final actionevent event) { asd = new arraylist(); //here's error.. } }); clear arraylist , add together values. java javafx
