Foreign Key Constraint Error / Parent Record Does Exist But Won't Let Child Record Be Created
Feb 21, 2010
While I've previously many years of relational databases and procedural languages, I'm stumbling with Visual Basic. In this problem, the simple situation is that I have two files, parent and child. The primary key of the parent file (Area file) is linked by a relation to one of the two fields that makes up the primary key in the child file (Project file) (unique key is formed from 'area' and 'project'). I have the default table adapters created on both files. I have created two maintenance forms showing one each of the two files in datagrid view format.I can create some records in the Parent (Area) file, but when I try to create a record in the child (Project) file, using one of the valid key values from the Area file, I get the 'ForeignKeyConstraint [relation name] requires the child key values [actual value] to exist in the parent table' which I'm absolutely definitely sure it does.
I haven't done any actual coding for those two maintenance forms, just dragged-and-dropped the files from the data sources screen onto separate forms so it creates the controls itself. But I can't work out, if it already knows the data does exist because I can load it back in to the Area maintence form, why it can't check itself to find out the record does exist. Why does it think the record from the parent record doesn't exist? It does exactly the same thing, whether or not the database is in access or SQL Server Express. I have all the latest updates.

Working on an VB/ASP website in Visual Studio 2008. Getting the error "You cannot add or change a record because a related record is required in table 'abc'
It is true that table xyz (the target of the INSERT) is in a parent-child relationship with table abc. The PK in abc is a column RequestID_lng. The FK column in xyz is also named RequestID_lng
This is the only relationship these 2 tables are in.
I am trying to add a row in xyz with a value of 45 in the FK. There is already, previous to this action, a row in table abc with a value of 45 in the PK. So the parent already exists for this child.
I have used the watch window to copy my SQL code for the INSERT query that is being executed. I pasted that code into a new query in the Access DB and executed it without problem - it actually added the row that .Net should have.[code]...

I am using a number of tables on my application and two of which have a foreign key constraint I have set between them. When I change the account number on the main table via a combo box all of the relevant information for that table on the form is updated accordingly. However, the child table which has a foreign key reference to the Account Number of the main table is not updated when the acocunt number is changed. I have set the update to cascade in the references but still am having issues.

I have a form with a parent bindingsource showing details and a child bindingsource showing the multiple line items in a dgv. This relationship has the properties set to enforce the constraints and cascade the updates and deletes. When I add a new parent record there is a function for inserting default line items into the child. I have this code fr deleting a record,

edit: jmc posted a nice solution to this problem in the code bank just recently but I could not get it to work in 2005, this line, "AddHandler Me.LOTBindingSource.Adapter.RowUpdated, AddressOf parentAdapter_RowUpdated" throws an error. It say "Adapter is not a member of the System.windows.forms.bindingsource.

I have created a project that has an add a new record, edit record and a search form, that has multiple text, combo boxes and is working great.Last nite I have added a checkbox under my add new record form and i am saving the checkbox value to my database, so far so good. I would like to be able to search any record that is mark with a checkbox to show up in my search screen when I do a search: [code] The problem that i am having is that now that I have added the code to my project to search for the checkbox field in the search screen and if I leave everything blank and click on the the search button I get no record found. I expected to see all that data, since I have nothing selected. Now if I click my checkbox, as soon as I click on my search button I see that two records that I have added for my test.

Visual Studio Pro 2010 Win 7 64 bit running bootstrapped to a MacBook Pro i5 (blasphemer!!!) works really well though!!New to vb.net, have used vb6 for several years and finding the transition interesting to say the least.I have an access database with a vb.net front end all auto bound by the connection and binding wizards (I know, I know...) Not too complicated, but a simple 2 table related db. On the form the parent table shows customer details with the child table related and displayed by datagrid. I have a field in the child table for images and I have figured out how to store and retrieve images to the db. I am using the datagrid.rowheadermouseclick event to reload the picturebox on the main form as I click down the child table datagrid. Now I need to be able to click the bindingnavigator, go to the next record and have the program reload the image for the next child record. The problem is I'm trying to use an event from either the datagrid or bindingnavigator to reload the picturebox in the child table after moving to the next record, but all of the events I am trying are firing before the next record is moved to and therefor the logic I'm using to retrieve the image from the db is not working.
Anyone with an idea on how to move to the next record and then run my logic to populate the picturebox? What events might I use that fire after the next record has been populated? I know this is probably not that hard, but I have been racking my brain all day now.

I'm developing an app in VB.Net (Visual Studio Express 2008, on Windows Vista) that connects to an Access relational database. The database has 3 related tables (TextSections, LineItems, Cycles) that I'm loading into my dataset. I've set up two foreign key constraints and want all changes to cascade through the related records in the child tables. I cannot get the cascades to reflect through.
For example, when I delete the parent record, the children records remain (in the database - they are removed from the dataset). Also, when I modify the parent record (change the Description field for example), the change is not reflected in the dataset datatable that holds the children records - unless I go through and ReLoad all of the data from the database and re-Set the constraints. I have set the .AcceptChanges, .UpdateRule, and .DeleteRule to cascade, and have also set EnforceConstraints on the dataset. Why aren't the changes cascading through the children?
Below I've pasted (1) the Load Routines for my datatables TextSections (parent), LineItems (child), and Cycles (child of LineItems); (2) the method that creates the constraints in the dataset, and (3) The Save routine for TextSections.
Friend Sub LoadTSTable()
Dim key(1) As DataColumn
Dim newCol As New DataColumn

I just watched a video from Beth Messi about setting up a primary key and foreign key on a table.
I created two tables, one called customer and the other one called orders CustomerID is the primary key to the customer table OrderID is the primary ket to the orders table and CustomerID is foreign key to the orders table
Beth Messi said that this would maintain the integrity of the tables and she also mentioned something about setting up a cascade delete so that when we delete a record in the customer table, the customer's order in order table will get deleted as well.
how I can set up the cascade delete, Meanwhile, I tried deleting a customer record in customer table - a customer with orders, and I got the following error when I clicked save.
The DELETE statement conflicted with the REFERENCE constraint "FK_Orders_Customer". The conflict occurred in database "C:DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGSLOUISLOCAL SETTINGSAPPLICATION DATATEMPORARY PROJECTSWBINDEBUGTEST.MDF", table "dbo.Orders", column 'CustomerID'. The statement has been terminated.
Shall I use try catch to warn the user that the record that I tried to delete has an order? They can't delete the customer unless the orders table's record is deleted first?

I'm currently trying to create a function to parse error messages to make them more helpful for the end user. Currently I'm working with SQLServer and VB.NET.
Right now I'm raising error 547 which looks like this:
DELETE statement conflicted with COLUMN REFERENCE
constraint Constraint Name. The conflict occurred
in database 'Database Name', table 'Table Name',
[Code].....
I'm able to pull every piece of information I need from the error message except the name of the parentTable. I've already determined that the SqlException doesn't store the statement that caused the exception, and as far as I can tell it doesn't store information about the name of the parent table, only the table that is trying to reference it.
Is there an easy way to get the name of the parentTable?

I have an application that works with a database that uses foreign key constraints.
For example, we have an inventory table that has a foreign key constraint that references a table called case_names. If a user attempts to delete a case name that has any inventory items referencing it's ID, the action is restricted.
How can I display a message to the user that they will understand? 'You can not delete this case as it still contains inventory items.'
My thought is a try-catch (catching different error types?) but I do not really want to use this for something that may be expected.
The application is in VB.Net using MySQL.data

I am new to VB.net and have created a simple master detail windows form. I created a two table data set and then dropped the master table on the form as a continues form or a detail form with several text boxes to enter data. The child form is a data grid and was simple drag and drop from the data-set. All of this was done with drag and drop and I have added nor changed any code.test data that I have added directly to the database shows up with the proper parent child relationships on the form. I can also enter new records into the database using the parent only portion of my form. I can also update a child record.When I attempt to enter a complete record with data in both the parent form and the child data grid I get this error.
The INSERT statement conflicted with the FOREIGN KEY constraint FK_tblComplainant_tblUseOfForce. The conflict occurred in database "C:\SQLFILES\CCTS_2.MDF", table "dbo.tblUseOfForce", column 'UOFID'. The statement has
