Как я могу сделать таблицу уникальной, «нет единственного ограничения, сопоставляющего ссылочную таблицу»?

Question

Я пытаюсь создать базу данных для системы регистрации. Однако я столкнулся с проблемой, что у меня нет уникального ключа для определенных таблиц. Я не могу создать искусственный ключ, потому что это избавит вас от целостности базы данных (лучше не использовать искусственные ключи в слабых сущностях). Как я могу исправить эту ошибку в таблице «Разделы», чтобы сделать строки в «ClassEvents» уникальными?

Answer 1

вы определили (department, courseID, sectionNumber, year, term) в качестве первичного ключа в таблице Sections в таблице ClassEvents вы ссылаетесь коллекциями (courseID, sectionNumber, year, term) без поля department. вы должны ссылаться на весь ключ, а не на его часть. Итак, добавьте это поле, чтобы решить эту проблему.
