我正在查看SQL Server 2008的AdventureWorks示例数据库,我在他们的创建脚本中看到他们倾向于使用以下内容:
ALTER TABLE [Production].[ProductCostHistory] WITH CHECK ADD CONSTRAINT [FK_ProductCostHistory_Product_ProductID] FOREIGN KEY([ProductID]) REFERENCES [Production].[Product] ([ProductID]) GO
紧接着是:
ALTER TABLE [Production].[ProductCostHistory] CHECK CONSTRAINT [FK_ProductCostHistory_Product_ProductID] GO
我看到这个用于外键(如此处),唯一约束和常规CHECK
约束; DEFAULT
约束使用我更熟悉的常规格式,例如:
ALTER TABLE [Production].[ProductCostHistory] ADD CONSTRAINT [DF_ProductCostHistory_ModifiedDate] DEFAULT (getdate()) FOR [ModifiedDate] GO
如果有的话,第一种方式与第二种方式之间有什么区别?
第一种语法是冗余的 - WITH CHECK是新约束的默认值,默认情况下也会启用约束.
这个语法是由SQL管理工作室在生成sql脚本时生成的 - 我假设它是某种额外的冗余,可能确保即使表的默认约束行为发生更改,也会启用约束.
为了证明这是如何工作的 -
CREATE TABLE T1 (ID INT NOT NULL, SomeVal CHAR(1)); ALTER TABLE T1 ADD CONSTRAINT [PK_ID] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED (ID); CREATE TABLE T2 (FKID INT, SomeOtherVal CHAR(2)); INSERT T1 (ID, SomeVal) SELECT 1, 'A'; INSERT T1 (ID, SomeVal) SELECT 2, 'B'; INSERT T2 (FKID, SomeOtherVal) SELECT 1, 'A1'; INSERT T2 (FKID, SomeOtherVal) SELECT 1, 'A2'; INSERT T2 (FKID, SomeOtherVal) SELECT 2, 'B1'; INSERT T2 (FKID, SomeOtherVal) SELECT 2, 'B2'; INSERT T2 (FKID, SomeOtherVal) SELECT 3, 'C1'; --orphan INSERT T2 (FKID, SomeOtherVal) SELECT 3, 'C2'; --orphan --Add the FK CONSTRAINT will fail because of existing orphaned records ALTER TABLE T2 ADD CONSTRAINT FK_T2_T1 FOREIGN KEY (FKID) REFERENCES T1 (ID); --fails --Same as ADD above, but explicitly states the intent to CHECK the FK values before creating the CONSTRAINT ALTER TABLE T2 WITH CHECK ADD CONSTRAINT FK_T2_T1 FOREIGN KEY (FKID) REFERENCES T1 (ID); --fails --Add the CONSTRAINT without checking existing values ALTER TABLE T2 WITH NOCHECK ADD CONSTRAINT FK_T2_T1 FOREIGN KEY (FKID) REFERENCES T1 (ID); --succeeds ALTER TABLE T2 CHECK CONSTRAINT FK_T2_T1; --succeeds since the CONSTRAINT is attributed as NOCHECK --Attempt to enable CONSTRAINT fails due to orphans ALTER TABLE T2 WITH CHECK CHECK CONSTRAINT FK_T2_T1; --fails --Remove orphans DELETE FROM T2 WHERE FKID NOT IN (SELECT ID FROM T1); --Enabling the CONSTRAINT succeeds ALTER TABLE T2 WITH CHECK CHECK CONSTRAINT FK_T2_T1; --succeeds; orphans removed --Clean up DROP TABLE T2; DROP TABLE T1;
关于可信约束的上述优秀评论:
select * from sys.foreign_keys where is_not_trusted = 1 ; select * from sys.check_constraints where is_not_trusted = 1 ;
正如其名称所暗示的那样,不受信任的约束不能被信任以准确地表示现在表中数据的状态.但是,可以信任它来检查将来添加和修改的数据.
此外,查询优化器会忽略不受信任的约束.
启用检查约束和外键约束的代码非常糟糕,具有"检查"一词的三个含义.
ALTER TABLE [Production].[ProductCostHistory] WITH CHECK -- This means "Check the existing data in the table". CHECK CONSTRAINT -- This means "enable the check or foreign key constraint". [FK_ProductCostHistory_Product_ProductID] -- The name of the check or foreign key constraint, or "ALL".
WITH NOCHECK
当一个表中的现有数据不符合定义的约束并且您不希望它与您正在实现的新约束相冲突时,也会使用它...
WITH CHECK
确实是默认行为,但在您的编码中包含这是一个好习惯.
替代行为当然是使用WITH NOCHECK
,因此明确定义您的意图是很好的.这通常在您使用/修改/切换内联分区时使用.
外键和检查约束具有受信任或不受信任的概念,以及启用和禁用.有关ALTER TABLE
完整详细信息,请参阅MSDN页面.
WITH CHECK
是添加新外键和检查约束WITH NOCHECK
的默认值,是重新启用禁用外键和检查约束的默认值.重要的是要意识到差异.
话虽如此,实用程序生成的任何明显冗余的语句都只是为了安全和/或编码的简易性.别担心他们.
以下是我编写的一些代码,用于帮助我们识别和纠正数据库中不受信任的CONSTRAINT.它会生成修复每个问题的代码.
;WITH Untrusted (ConstraintType, ConstraintName, ConstraintTable, ParentTable, IsDisabled, IsNotForReplication, IsNotTrusted, RowIndex) AS ( SELECT 'Untrusted FOREIGN KEY' AS FKType , fk.name AS FKName , OBJECT_NAME( fk.parent_object_id) AS FKTableName , OBJECT_NAME( fk.referenced_object_id) AS PKTableName , fk.is_disabled , fk.is_not_for_replication , fk.is_not_trusted , ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY OBJECT_NAME( fk.parent_object_id), OBJECT_NAME( fk.referenced_object_id), fk.name) AS RowIndex FROM sys.foreign_keys fk WHERE is_ms_shipped = 0 AND fk.is_not_trusted = 1 UNION ALL SELECT 'Untrusted CHECK' AS KType , cc.name AS CKName , OBJECT_NAME( cc.parent_object_id) AS CKTableName , NULL AS ParentTable , cc.is_disabled , cc.is_not_for_replication , cc.is_not_trusted , ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY OBJECT_NAME( cc.parent_object_id), cc.name) AS RowIndex FROM sys.check_constraints cc WHERE cc.is_ms_shipped = 0 AND cc.is_not_trusted = 1 ) SELECT u.ConstraintType , u.ConstraintName , u.ConstraintTable , u.ParentTable , u.IsDisabled , u.IsNotForReplication , u.IsNotTrusted , u.RowIndex , 'RAISERROR( ''Now CHECKing {%i of %i)--> %s ON TABLE %s'', 0, 1' + ', ' + CAST( u.RowIndex AS VARCHAR(64)) + ', ' + CAST( x.CommandCount AS VARCHAR(64)) + ', ' + '''' + QUOTENAME( u.ConstraintName) + '''' + ', ' + '''' + QUOTENAME( u.ConstraintTable) + '''' + ') WITH NOWAIT;' + 'ALTER TABLE ' + QUOTENAME( u.ConstraintTable) + ' WITH CHECK CHECK CONSTRAINT ' + QUOTENAME( u.ConstraintName) + ';' AS FIX_SQL FROM Untrusted u CROSS APPLY (SELECT COUNT(*) AS CommandCount FROM Untrusted WHERE ConstraintType = u.ConstraintType) x ORDER BY ConstraintType, ConstraintTable, ParentTable;
