I'm trying to create a constrain to check the record is no greater than 2016.
Here is the record in my database
Here is my query:
ALTER TABLE SIGHTINGS
ADD CONSTRAINT CK_SIGHTING_DATE
CHECK (SIGHTING_DATE <=TO_DATE('01-JAN-16'));
But I got an error says: ERROR at line 1:
ORA-02436: date or system variable wrongly specified in CHECK
constraint.
I've checked some similar questions on this website but there solutions doesn't solve my problem.
One option is to use the extract() function as you just want to check for the year:
ALTER TABLE SIGHTINGS
ADD CONSTRAINT CK_SIGHTING_DATE
CHECK (extract(year from SIGHTING_DATE) < 2016);
or use an ANSI date literal:
ALTER TABLE SIGHTINGS
ADD CONSTRAINT CK_SIGHTING_DATE
CHECK (SIGHTING_DATE < date '2016-01-01');
you have make in date specifcation
ALTER TABLE SIGHTINGS
ADD CONSTRAINT CK_SIGHTING_DATE
CHECK (SIGHTING_DATE <=
/*TO_DATE('01-JAN-16','DD-MON-YY') as I was pointed your should specify 4 digits for year*/
TO_DATE('01-JAN-2016','DD-MON-YYYY'));
or
ALTER TABLE SIGHTINGS
ADD CONSTRAINT CK_SIGHTING_DATE
CHECK (SIGHTING_DATE <=DATE'2016-01-01');
another one things its what do you mean when you say "no greater than 2016"
Your check alow dates in 01-jan-2016 but not allow 02-jan-2016.
If you would like to include whole 2016 year write
SIGHTING_DATE < DATE'2017-01-01'
or
trunc(SIGHTING_DATE,'yy') <=DATE'2016-01-01'

I need to add a Check constraint to a Column named Departure. This column has the smalldatetime data type.
The Check Constraint should state that:
The date and time entered in the Departure column must be at least 6 hours from whatever the current time is when the date is being entered.
Can anyone help with the code.
Thank you
This should do it:
ALTER TABLE [YourTableName]
ADD CONSTRAINT DepartureLaterThan6Hours CHECK ([Departure] > dateadd(HOUR, 6, GetDate()));
I am getting this error
ORA-02438: Column check constraint cannot reference other columns
when I am performing this query
alter table Issue
modify Issue_Date not null check (Issue_Date <= sys_date);
as well as I have to add this condition also (issue_date<return_date);
and when I tried this
alter table Issue
add constraint ck_Issue_Date not null check (Issue_Date <= sys_date);
ERROR ORA-00904: : invalid identifier
I suspect you are wanting to reference the Oracle SYSDATE function, not a column named sys_date.
Unfortunately, the conditions in a CHECK CONSTRAINT cannot reference the SYSDATE function.
To get the database enforce this type of restriction on the value of a column, that would require a TRIGGER.
For example, something like this:
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER trg_issue_issue_date_biu
BEFORE INSERT OR UPDATE ON Issue
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
IF (NEW.Issue_Date <= SYSDATE) THEN
NULL;
ELSE
RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR(-20000, 'Invalid: Issue_Date is NULL or >SYSDATE');
END IF;
END;
You tried to mix up inline column level constraint and table level constraint (for more than 1 column). Please simply split them on 2 statements:
alter table Issue
modify Issue_Date not null;
alter table Issue
add constraint ck_Issue_Date check (Issue_Date <= sys_date);
alter table Issue
add constraint ck_Issue_Date2 check (issue_date<return_date);
I'm trying to create a constraint that does not allow dates in future years. I have this:
ALTER TABLE PACIENTE ADD CONSTRAINT ck_FechaNacimiento
CHECK (FechaNacimiento<=current_date);
But i'm getting error 02436.
You cannot create a non-deterministic constraint. So you cannot create a constraint that references a function like current_date or sysdate that returns a different value every time you call it.
If you want to enforce this sort of thing, you'd need to create a trigger on the table that throws an error if the business rule is violated, i.e.
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER trg_paciente
BEFORE INSERT OR UPDATE
ON paciente
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
IF( :new.FechaNacimiento > current_date )
THEN
RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR( -20001, 'FechaNacimiento<=current_date must be in the past' );
END IF;
END;
I'd tried again with this and didn't show error, thanks by the way:
ALTER TABLE EXAMENPACIENTE ADD CONSTRAINT ExamenPaciente_FechaExamen_c1
CHECK (FechaExamen<='30-SEP-2013');
ALTER TABLE PACIENTE ADD CONSTRAINT ck_FechaNacimiento CHECK (FechaNacimiento<=SYSDATE);
I'm trying to add a constraint to a table so that it displays one of the columns as the current date plus 10 days. Here's what I've tried so far (I'm very new to SQL):
ALTER TABLE orders
ADD CONSTRAINT default_date
DEFAULT DATEADD (DAY,10,required_date) FOR required_date
Halp!
Edit: I've also tried this now:
ALTER TABLE orders
ALTER COLUMN required_date
ADD CONSTRAINT required_date_plus_ten
DEFAULT DATEADD (DAY,10,required_date)
Edit: Thanks to ypercube & my classmate. The final code is:
ALTER TABLE orders
ADD CONSTRAINT default_date
DEFAULT (DATEADD (DAY,10,'required_date')) FOR required_date;
The syntax in SQL-Server, for adding a DEFAULT value to an existing column is:
ALTER TABLE orders
ADD CONSTRAINT required_date_plus_ten
DEFAULT DATEADD(day, 10, GETDATE())
FOR required_date ;
Tested in SQL-Fiddle
I have a little doubt, I want to create a table that had a date that can't be bigger the 2012/12/31, i searched on google but only had exemples on SELECT. I'm gonna put an example:
CREATE TABLE example(
IDExample number (8) primary key,
DateExample date // Here i want to put that condition, is it possible?
);
If you're using SQL Server you can add check contraint on the column in the following way.
ALTER TABLE dbo.example ADD CONSTRAINT CK_DateExample
CHECK (DateExample < '20130101')
If you're using Oracle, the syntax is very similar:
ALTER TABLE dbo.example ADD CONSTRAINT CK_DateExample
CHECK (DateExample < DATE '2013-01-01')
