在許多情況下，對外鍵使用更復(fù)雜的邏輯表達式是非常有用的。 此外，在某些情況下能夠在索引視圖創(chuàng)建約束也將非常實用。 我將舉例說明，同時我希望針對此文的投票鏈接會盡快加上。
當(dāng)外鍵中需要更為復(fù)雜的邏輯表達式時
考慮下面的簡單常識： 您的設(shè)備的最大電流不能超過您插入到它的電路的最大電流。 假設(shè)下面的表存儲電路和設(shè)備數(shù)據(jù)：

It would be very convenient to issue a simple command and implement this business rule:
一個非常簡便的命令就可能實現(xiàn)這個業(yè)務(wù)規(guī)則：
ALTER TABLE Data.Devices ADD CONSTRAINT FK_Devices_Curcuits
FOREIGN KEY(CurcuitID, MaximumCurrent)
REFERENCES Data.Curcuits(CurcuitID, MaximumCurrent)
MATCH ON((Data.Devices.CurcuitID = Data.Curcuits.CurcuitID) AND
(Data.Devices.MaximumCurrent <= Data.Curcuits.MaximumCurrent));
However, it is not supported, so I need to use a workaround, one more column and three constraints instead of one, as follows:
然而，該語句并不被支持，所以必須采用其他辦法——多增加一列約束，使用3個而不是1個約束，如下所示：
ALTER TABLE Data.Curcuits
ADD CONSTRAINT UNQ_Curcuits UNIQUE(CurcuitID, MaximumCurrent);
GO
ALTER TABLE Data.Devices ADD CurcuitMaximumCurrent INT NULL;
GO
ALTER TABLE Data.Devices DROP CONSTRAINT FK_Devices_Curcuits;
GO
ALTER TABLE Data.Devices ADD CONSTRAINT FK_Devices_Curcuits
FOREIGN KEY(CurcuitID, CurcuitMaximumCurrent)
REFERENCES Data.Curcuits(CurcuitID, MaximumCurrent)
ON UPDATE CASCADE;
GO
ALTER TABLE Data.Devices
ADD CONSTRAINT CHK_Devices_SufficientCurcuitMaximumCurrent
CHECK(CurcuitMaximumCurrent >= MaximumCurrent);
GO
You can verify that the constraints work:
你可以驗證該約束有效：
INSERT INTO Data.Devices(DeviceID,
CurcuitID,
MaximumCurrent,
CurcuitMaximumCurrent,
Description)
SELECT 1, 1, 50, 25, 'Electric car charger'
Msg 547, Level 16, State 0, Line 1
The INSERT statement conflicted with the CHECK constraint "CHK_Devices_SufficientCurcuitMaximumCurrent". The conflict occurred in database "Test", table "data.Devices".
The statement has been terminated.
INSERT 語句和CHECK約束"CHK_Devices_SufficientCurcuitMaximumCurrent"發(fā)生沖突。 該沖突發(fā)生在數(shù)據(jù)庫"Test"的"data.Devices"表。
該語句被終止執(zhí)行。
As you have seen, the implementation of a very simple and very common business rule is quite involved, because such business rules are not directly supported by the database engine.
可以看出，一個非常簡單而普通的業(yè)務(wù)規(guī)則實現(xiàn)起來也相當(dāng)繁雜，因為數(shù)據(jù)庫引擎并不直接支持這種業(yè)務(wù)規(guī)則。
When you want to create constraints on indexed views
在索引視圖上創(chuàng)建約束
Even when your database guarantees that “the maximum current of your device cannot exceed the maximum current of the circuit you plug it into”, it is not good enough. Consider the following sample data:
盡管數(shù)據(jù)庫保證“您的設(shè)備的最大電流不能超過您插入到它的電路的最大電流”，但這還不夠。請看下列示例數(shù)據(jù)：
INSERT INTO Data.Devices(DeviceID,
CurcuitID,
MaximumCurrent,
CurcuitMaximumCurrent,
Description)
SELECT 2, 1, 15, 25, 'ShopVac';
INSERT INTO Data.Devices(DeviceID,
CurcuitID,
MaximumCurrent,
CurcuitMaximumCurrent,
Description)
SELECT 3, 1, 15, 25, 'Miter Saw';
The database structure allows to plug more than one device into a circuit, which is correct, but if you turn both devices on, their combined maximum current exceeds the circuit's maximum current. To enforce this business rule, it would be natural to create an indexed view, so that the database guarantees that the totals are always correct:
數(shù)據(jù)庫中的數(shù)據(jù)表明可以插入一個以上的設(shè)備到電路，這沒有錯，可是當(dāng)所有的設(shè)備都打開時，它們的最大電流之和會超過電路最大電流。為了加強這個業(yè)務(wù)規(guī)則，很自然的會創(chuàng)建一個索引視圖以使數(shù)據(jù)庫保證電流之和總是正確的。
CREATE VIEW Data.TotalMaximumCurrentPerCircuit WITH SCHEMABINDING
AS
SELECT d.CurcuitID,
c.MaximumCurrent AS CircuitMaximumCurrent,
SUM(d.MaximumCurrent) AS TotalMaximumCurrent,
COUNT_BIG(*) AS NumDevices
FROM Data.Devices d JOIN Data.Curcuits c ON d.CurcuitID = c.CurcuitID
GROUP BY d.CurcuitID, c.MaximumCurrent;
GO
CREATE UNIQUE CLUSTERED INDEX Data_TotalMaximumCurrentPerCircuit
ON Data.TotalMaximumCurrentPerCircuit(CurcuitID);
GO
If I could create a check constraint on that indexed view, I would be all set:
如果能在該索引視圖上創(chuàng)建一個約束，我將進行這樣的設(shè)置：
ALTER VIEW Data.TotalMaximumCurrentPerCircuit
ADD CONSTRAINT CHK_TotalMaximumCurrentPerCircuit_ValidCurcuit
CHECK(TotalMaximumCurrent <= CircuitMaximumCurrent)
Instead, I need to use triggers or rather contrived kludges. A built in native support for such quite common business rules would increase the usefulness of SQL Server.
實際上，我必須使用觸發(fā)器或者精心拼湊Check約束來實現(xiàn)。如果數(shù)據(jù)庫內(nèi)置支持這種相當(dāng)普遍的業(yè)務(wù)規(guī)則，那將會增加SQL Server的實用性 。
