Det bästa stället att upprätthålla dataintegritet är databasen. Var säker på att någon utvecklare, avsiktligt eller inte, kommer att hitta ett sätt att smyga in inkonsekventa saker i databasen om du tillåter dem!
Här är ett exempel med kontrollbegränsningar:
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.SignupMismatches()
RETURNS int
AS BEGIN RETURN (
SELECT count(*)
FROM Shift s
LEFT JOIN EventVolunteer ev
ON ev.EventId = s.EventId
AND ev.VolunteerId = s.VolunteerId
WHERE ev.Id is null
) END
go
ALTER TABLE Shift ADD CONSTRAINT chkSignup CHECK (dbo.SignupMismatches() = 0);
go
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.OverlapMismatches()
RETURNS int
AS BEGIN RETURN (
SELECT count(*)
FROM Shift a
JOIN Shift b
ON a.id <> b.id
AND a.Start < b.[End]
AND a.[End] > b.Start
AND a.VolunteerId = b.VolunteerId
) END
go
ALTER TABLE Shift ADD CONSTRAINT chkOverlap CHECK (dbo.OverlapMismatches() = 0);
Här är några tester för de nya dataintegritetskontrollerna:
insert into Volunteer (name) values ('Dubya')
insert into Event (name) values ('Build Wall Around Texas')
-- Dubya tries to build a wall, but Fails because he's not signed up
insert into Shift (VolunteerID, EventID, Description, Start, [End])
values (1, 1, 'Dunbya Builds Wall', '2010-01-01', '2010-01-02')
-- Properly signed up? Good
insert into EventVolunteer (VolunteerID, EventID)
values (1, 1)
insert into Shift (VolunteerID, EventID, Description, Start, [End])
values (1, 1, 'Dunbya Builds Wall', '2010-01-01', '2010-01-03')
-- Fails, you can't start the 2nd wall before you finished the 1st
insert into Shift (VolunteerID, EventID, Description, Start, [End])
values (1, 1, 'Dunbya Builds Second Wall', '2010-01-02', '2010-01-03')
Här är tabelldefinitionerna:
set nocount on
if OBJECT_ID('Shift') is not null
drop table Shift
if OBJECT_ID('EventVolunteer') is not null
drop table EventVolunteer
if OBJECT_ID('Volunteer') is not null
drop table Volunteer
if OBJECT_ID('Event') is not null
drop table Event
if OBJECT_ID('SignupMismatches') is not null
drop function SignupMismatches
if OBJECT_ID('OverlapMismatches') is not null
drop function OverlapMismatches
create table Volunteer (
id int identity primary key
, name varchar(50)
)
create table Event (
Id int identity primary key
, name varchar(50)
)
create table Shift (
Id int identity primary key
, VolunteerId int foreign key references Volunteer(id)
, EventId int foreign key references Event(id)
, Description varchar(250)

, [End] datetime
)
create table EventVolunteer (
Id int identity primary key
, VolunteerId int foreign key references Volunteer(id)
, EventId int foreign key references Event(id)
, Location varchar(250)
, [Day] datetime
, Description varchar(250)
)
