racle使用外键来限制子表中参考的字段值，要求子表中的数据必须在主表中存在。当主表的记录发生变化时导致外键参考唯一约束值发生了变化时，Oracle指定了三种动作：默认值（类似于restrict）、delete cascade和delete set null。(
1.创建父表并初始化数据
create table t_parent (parent_id int primary key,name varchar2(10));
Table created.
sql> insert into t_parent values (1,'record1');
1 row created.
sql> insert into t_parent values (2,'record2');
1 row created.
sql> insert into t_parent values (3,'record3');
1 row created.
sql> commit;
Commit complete.
2.创建三种类型的子表t_child1、t_child2和t_child3
(1)no action类别
create table t_child1 (child1_id int primary key,parent_id int);
Table created.
sql> alter table t_child1 add constraint FK_t_child1 foreign key (parent_id) references t_parent (parent_id);
Table altered.
sql> insert into t_child1 values (1,1);
1 row created.
sql> commit;
Commit complete.
(2)cascade类型
create table t_child2 (child2_id int primary key,parent_id int);
Table created.
sql> alter table t_child2 add constraint FK_t_child2 foreign key (parent_id) references t_parent (parent_id) on delete cascade;
Table altered.
sql> insert into t_child2 values (2,2);
1 row created.
sql> commit;
Commit complete.
(3)SET NULL类型
create table t_child3 (child2_id int primary key,parent_id int);
Table created.
sql> alter table t_child3 add constraint FK_t_child3 foreign key (parent_id) references t_parent (parent_id) on delete set null;
Table altered.
sql> insert into t_child3 values (3,3);
1 row created.
sql> commit;
Commit complete.
3.确认主表和子表中的数据
select * from T_PARENT;
PARENT_ID NAME
---------- ----------
1 record1
2 record2
3 record3
sql> select * from T_CHILD1;
CHILD1_ID PARENT_ID
---------- ----------
1 1
sql> select * from T_CHILD2;
CHILD2_ID PARENT_ID
---------- ----------
2 2
sql> select * from T_CHILD3;
CHILD2_ID PARENT_ID
---------- ----------
3 3
4.尝试对具有默认类型外键参照的主表记录进行删除
delete from T_PARENT where parent_id = 1;
delete from T_PARENT where parent_id = 1
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-02292: integrity constraint (HBHE.FK_T_CHILD1) violated - child record
found
sql> select * from T_CHILD1;
CHILD1_ID PARENT_ID
1 1在此类型下，不允许删除操作
5.尝试对具有delete cascade类型外键参照的主表记录进行删除
delete from T_PARENT where parent_id = 2;
1 row deleted.
sql> select * from T_CHILD2;
no rows selected
级联删除成功
6.尝试对具有delete set null类型外键参照的主表记录进行删除
delete from T_PARENT where parent_id = 3;
1 row deleted.
sql> select * from T_CHILD3;
CHILD2_ID PARENT_ID
3
