I need UNIQUE INDEX CONSTRAINT for below example:
CREATE TABLE DEMO(
COL_1 number,
COL_2 number,
COL_3 number,
COL_4 number,
STATUS number)
;
Insert into DEMO(COL_1,COL_2,COL_3,COL_4,STATUS) values (1,2,3,4,0); --Allow insert
Insert into DEMO(COL_1,COL_2,COL_3,COL_4,STATUS) values (1,2,3,4,1); --Allow insert
Insert into DEMO(COL_1,COL_2,COL_3,COL_4,STATUS) values (1,2,3,4,0); --Allow insert
Insert into DEMO(COL_1,COL_2,COL_3,COL_4,STATUS) values (1,2,3,4,1); --Not allow insert status 1 already exits!
>Solution :
This is the 12th pseudo constraint (based on constraint types) that you can impose on a database model, that doesn’t require the use of the clause CONSTRAINT
to define it.
You can create a partial unique index to enforce it. For example:
create unique index ix1 on demo (
case when status = 1 then col_1 end,
case when status = 1 then col_2 end,
case when status = 1 then col_3 end,
case when status = 1 then col_4 end,
case when status = 1 then status end
);
See running example at db<>fiddle.
