How to provide constraint to an associative table relating to two source tables with a common foreign key?
Example scenario.
In a flight schedule system, there are a pilot
table which refers to a plane_type
table indicating the planes the pilot is able to fly (assuming that is a many-to-one relation).
There are also a plane
table and it refers to the plane_type
table to indicate the plane's type
(also many-to-one relation).
Now there is an associative table flight_plan
which assigns a pilot
to a plane
for a given flight.
How do I make sure the pilot
's qualification do match the plane
's type for this flight?
Any possibility to implement this as a constraint in a database design?开发者_运维问答 Thank you.
Edited:
Refering to the diagram below, how to make sure pilot.plane_type
is equal to plane.plane_type
?
Plane
has unique index (AK) on PlaneID, PlaneTypeID
EDIT
create table Pilot (PilotID integer);
alter table Pilot add constraint PK_Pilot primary key (PilotID);
create table PlaneType (PlaneTypeID integer);
alter table PlaneType add constraint PK_PlaneType primary key (PlaneTypeID);
create table PilotQualification (PilotID integer, PlaneTypeID integer);
alter table PilotQualification
add constraint PK_PilotQual primary key (PilotID, PlaneTypeID)
, add constraint FK1_PilotQual foreign key (PilotID) references Pilot(PilotID)
, add constraint FK2_PilotQual foreign key (PlaneTypeID) references PlaneType(PlaneTypeID) ;
create table Plane (PlaneID integer, PlaneTypeID integer);
alter table Plane
add constraint PK_Plane primary key (PlaneID)
, add constraint FK1_Plane foreign key (PlaneTypeID) references PlaneType(PlaneTypeID) ;
create unique index AK_Plane on Plane (PlaneID, PlaneTypeID) ;
create table PlanePilot (PlaneID integer, PlaneTypeID integer, PilotID integer) ;
alter table PlanePilot
add constraint PK_PlanePilot primary key (PlaneID, PlaneTypeID, PilotID)
, add constraint FK1_PlanePilot foreign key (PilotID, PlaneTypeID) references PilotQualification(PilotID, PlaneTypeID)
, add constraint FK2_PlanePilot foreign key (PlaneID, PlaneTypeID) references Plane(PlaneID, PlaneTypeID)
, add constraint FK3_PlanePilot foreign key (PilotID) references Pilot(PilotID) ;
