Adding column with primary key in existing table

问题

I am trying to add primary key to newly added column in existing table name Product_Details.

New Column added: Product_Detail_ID (int and not null)

I am trying add primary key to Product_Detail_ID (please note: there are no other primary or foreign key assigned to this table)

I am trying with this query but getting error.

ALTER TABLE Product_Details
ADD CONSTRAINT pk_Product_Detils_Product_Detail_ID PRIMARY KEY(Product_Detail_ID)
GO

Error:

The CREATE UNIQUE INDEX statement terminated because a duplicate key was found for the object name 'dbo.Product\_Details' and the index name 'pk\_Product\_Detils'. The duplicate key value is (0).

Am I missing something here? I am using SQL Server 2008 R2. I would appreciate any help.

回答1:

If you want SQL Server to automatically provide values for the new column, make it an identity.

ALTER TABLE Product_Details DROP COLUMN Product_Detail_ID
GO
ALTER TABLE Product_Details ADD Product_Detail_ID int identity(1,1) not null
GO
ALTER TABLE Product_Details
add CONSTRAINT pk_Product_Detils_Product_Detail_ID primary key(Product_Detail_ID)
GO

You are getting the error because you have existing data that does not fullfill the constraint.

There are 2 ways to fix it:

clean up the existing data before adding the constraint
add the constraint with the "WITH NOCHECK" option, this will stop sql server checking existing data, only new data will be checked

In mysql, I was able to achieve with following query

ALTER TABLE table_name ADD new_column int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT primary key

回答4:

ALTER TABLE Jaya 
  ADD CONSTRAINT no primary key(No);

here Jaya is table name,

no is column name,

ADD CONSTRAINT is we giving the primary key keyword

回答5:

k. friend command: sql> alter table tablename add primary key(col_name);

ex: alter table pk_Product_Detils add primary key(Product_Detail_ID);
