SQL programmingYou can use the HCL OneDB™ implementation of the SQL language to develop applications for HCL OneDB™ database servers.
Guide to SQL: SyntaxThe HCL OneDB™ Guide to SQL: Syntax describes the syntax of the statements, data types, expressions, operators, and built-in functions of the HCL OneDB™ dialect of the SQL language.
SQL statementsThis chapter describes the syntax and semantics of SQL statements that are recognized by HCL OneDB™.
SET Database Object Mode statementUse the SET Database Object Mode statement to change the filtering mode of constraints and of unique indexes, or to enable or disable constraints, indexes, and triggers, or to bypass referential-integrity checking of constraints while this statement is resetting the constraint mode.
Definitions of Database Object Modes
Filtering ModesA constraint or unique index in a filtering mode can insert into an associated violations table any rows that fail to comply with the constraint or index during DML operation. This mode also supports WITH ERROR and WITHOUT ERROR options for processing referential-integrity violations from INSERT, DELETE, MERGE, and UPDATE statements.
Error Options for Filtering Mode

Error Options for Filtering Mode

When you set the mode of a constraint or unique index to filtering, you can specify one of two error options. These error options control whether the database server displays an integrity-violation error message when it encounters bad records during execution of data manipulation statements:

The WITH ERROR option instructs the database server to return a referential integrity-violation error message after executing an INSERT, DELETE, or UPDATE statement in which one or more of the target rows causes a constraint violation or a unique-index violation.
The WITHOUT ERROR option is the default. This option prevents the database server from issuing a referential integrity-violation error message to the user after an INSERT, DELETE, or UPDATE statement causes a constraint violation or a unique-index violation.
