<h1 class="topictitle1">Examples: UPDATE rules</h1>
<div><p>These examples illustrate the UPDATE rules.</p>
<div class="section"><p>For example, you cannot update a department number
from the department table if it is still responsible for some project, which
is described by a dependent row in the project table.</p>
</div>
<div class="section"><p>The following UPDATE fails because the PROJECT table has rows
that are dependent on DEPARTMENT.DEPTNO having a value of 'D01' (the row targeted
by the WHERE statement). If this UPDATE were allowed, the referential constraint
between the PROJECT and DEPARTMENT tables will be broken. </p>
<pre> <strong>UPDATE</strong> CORPDATA.DEPARTMENT
<strong>SET</strong> DEPTNO = 'D99'
<strong>WHERE</strong> DEPTNAME = 'DEVELOPMENT CENTER'</pre>
</div>
<div class="section"><p>The following statement fails because it violates the referential
constraint that exists between the primary key DEPTNO in DEPARTMENT and the
foreign key DEPTNO in PROJECT: </p>
<pre> <strong>UPDATE</strong> CORPDATA.PROJECT
<strong>SET</strong> DEPTNO = 'D00'
<strong>WHERE</strong> DEPTNO = 'D01';</pre>
</div>
<div class="section"><p>The statement attempts to change all department numbers of D01
to department number D00. Since D00 is not a value of the primary key DEPTNO
in DEPARTMENT, the statement fails.</p>
