How Enable /Disable all CONSTRAINT on a table ? tip #53

 

Dear Friends,

Although , When we have designed our database he/she knows what type of constraints is require to make data perfect and the Database designer applies those constraints but it might be possible that sometime we have to disable those constraints make some tweak with the data in the table and then again enable the constraints.

Below are two simple command to Enable & Disable constraints of a table.

a) Disable constraints on a table

ALTER TABLE  tableName NOCHECK CONSTRAINT  ALL

b) Enable Constraints on a table

ALTER TABLE TABLE_NAME CHECK CONSTRAINT ALL

Lets understand this by an example suppose, I have city_seed table which having Foreign key constraint of country_seed table.

Now  when we run disable constraint command as shown above then you will find the constraint is disable  as shown in figure

disable_Constraint

Now when we run enable constraint then see below figure

disable_Constraint

I hope it might helpful you somewhere.

Thanks & Enjoy!!!

RJ!!!
