ORA-02429: cannot drop index used for enforcement of unique /primary key

相信不少人遇到過ORA-02429: cannot drop index used for enforcement of unique /primary key 這個錯誤,對應的中文提示“ORA-02429: 無法刪除用於強制唯一/主鍵的索引”，其實從錯誤提示信息已經很明顯了。下面還是用一個簡單的例子述說一下該錯誤的來龍去脈。

ORA-02429錯誤的原因是因為用戶試圖刪除一個用於強制唯一/主鍵的索引,解決方法也很簡單，刪除對應的約束就會自動刪除該索引。

[oracle@DB-Server ~]$ oerr ora 2429

02429, 00000, "cannot drop index used for enforcement of unique/primary key"

// *Cause: user attempted to drop an index that is being used as the

// enforcement mechanism for unique or primary key.

// *Action: drop the constraint instead of the index.

1：新建測試表TAB_TEST， 如下所示：

CREATE TABLE TAB_TEST
(
  JOB_ORDER_NO    VARCHAR2(20 BYTE),
  DIMM_ID         NUMBER,
  MRP_GROUP_CD    VARCHAR2(10 BYTE),
  ITEM_CAT        VARCHAR2(20 BYTE),
  REQUIRED_DATE   DATE,
  PURCHASED_BY    VARCHAR2(10 BYTE),
  USED_BY         VARCHAR2(10 BYTE),
  SUPPLIER_CD     VARCHAR2(10 BYTE)
)

2：添加主鍵約束，如下所示

ALTER TABLE TAB_TEST
 ADD CONSTRAINT PK_TAB_TEST
  PRIMARY KEY
  (JOB_ORDER_NO, DIMM_ID, MRP_GROUP_CD, ITEM_CAT);

3：查看測試表的索引信息

SQL> SELECT INDEX_NAME FROM DBA_INDEXES WHERE TABLE_NAME='TAB_TEST';

INDEX_NAME
------------------------------
PK_TAB_TEST

4：查看測試表的約束信息：

SQL> SELECT CONSTRAINT_NAME FROM DBA_CONSTRAINTS WHERE TABLE_NAME='TAB_TEST';

CONSTRAINT_NAME
------------------------------
PK_TAB_TEST

5:刪除測試表的索引PK_TAB_TEST

SQL> DROP INDEX PK_TAB_TEST;
DROP INDEX PK_TAB_TEST
           *
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-02429: cannot drop index used for enforcement of unique/primary key

解決方法:

刪除對應的約束就會自動刪除該索引。而不是直接去刪除該索引。很多菜鳥就會直接這樣做！

SQL> ALTER TABLE TAB_TEST DROP CONSTRAINT PK_TAB_TEST;

Table altered.

SQL> SELECT CONSTRAINT_NAME FROM DBA_CONSTRAINTS WHERE TABLE_NAME='CONSTRAINT_NAME';

no rows selected

SQL> SELECT INDEX_NAME FROM DBA_INDEXES WHERE TABLE_NAME='TAB_TEST';

no rows selected
