    create table without constraints

    Hello everyone :

    any suggestions on how to create a table from a select without its constraints??? i have the following :

    create table int_segurohogar_BAK as (select * from int_segurohogar where 1=2);

    it creates the table but creates NOT NULL constraints on all the columns, not exactly as the NOT NULL constraints from the original table. How can i avoid creating this constraints????

    thank you very much for your support.

    regards,

    dgc

    what do you mean by that? i want to create the table from a select without the NOT NULL constraints, APPEND hit only affects the watermark point when inserting. is it possible to disable the constraints after the create table statement? im trying with this with little result :

    alter table int_Segurovidaupgrade_BAK disable constraint SYS_C00274738;

    it disabled the constraint, but i need all the tables constraints.
    i need to do this in a cursor, any ideas?

    thank you very much for your support.

    Cool

    ...not exactly as the NOT NULL constraints from the original table
    Not true, a CREATE..AS SELECT... will allways create the same NOT NULL constraints as original table.

    I mean pre-create the table without any constraints, then insert into it

    create table int_segurohogar_BAK as (select * from int_segurohogar where 1=2);

    thats how i am creating the table.

    insert into int_segurohogar_bak (select * from int_segurohogar where solicitud = nSolicitud);

    thats how i am trying to insert into the table.

    then i get :

    PL/SQL: ORA-00947: not enough values.

    AND the constraints are in ALL the columns, not from the original table (i seeing it in TOAD). I also thought about that.

    but i found a way to diable the constraints :

    declare

    sConstraint varchar2(200);
    cursor oCursor is
    select constraint_name , table_name
    from user_constraints
    where table_name in (
    upper('int_Segurovidaupgrade_BAK'),
    upper('int_Segurohogarupgrade_BAK'),
    upper('int_segurohogar_BAK'),
    upper('int_segurovida_BAK'),
    upper('ts_operacionsolicitud_BAK'),
    upper('ts_integrantesolicitud_BAK'),
    upper('ts_estadosolicitud_BAK'),
    upper('int_upgradevidaexportado_BAK'),
    upper('int_upgradehogarexportado_BAK'),
    upper('ts_productosolicitud_BAK'),
    upper('ts_solicitud_BAK'));


    sCons user_constraints.constraint_name%TYPE;
    stable user_constraints.table_name%TYPE;

    begin
    if not oCursor%isopen then
    open oCursor;
    loop
    fetch ocursor into scons, stable;
    exit when ocursor%NOTFOUND;
    execute immediate 'alter table ' || upper(stable) || ' disable constraint ' || scons ;
    end loop;
    close oCursor;
    end if;
    end;

    Dear DBA :

    thank you for your support. You are right, it was an scripting problem. The table was created with a the same name with sufix _BAK but took another structure. I am sorry for the inconvenience.

    I could anyway disable the constraints, just in case anyone find it useful, with the anonymous begin end block.

    Best wishes,

    dgc
