# constraints
# Update foreign keys with new value in Oracle
Suppose you have a table and you want to change one of this table primary id. you can use the following scrpit. primary ID here is "PK_S"
begin
for i in (select a.table_name, c.column_name
from user_constraints a, user_cons_columns c
where a.CONSTRAINT_TYPE = 'R'
and a.R_CONSTRAINT_NAME = 'PK_S'
and c.constraint_name = a.constraint_name) loop
execute immediate 'update ' || i.table_name || ' set ' || i.column_name ||
'=to_number(''1000'' || ' || i.column_name || ') ';
end loop;
end;
# Disable all related foreign keys in oracle
Suppose you have the table T1 and it has relation with many tables and its primary key constraint name is "pk_t1" you want to disable these foreign keys you can use:
Begin
For I in (select table_name, constraint_name from user_constraint t where r_constraint_name='pk_t1') loop
Execute immediate ' alter table ' || I.table_name || ' disable constraint ' || i.constraint_name;
End loop;
End;
