Question

我对多列作为单个列的外键有疑问。让我举个例子来解释一下。

Ex：我有3张桌子：

公司1 ：Company_ID(guid) as Primary key, Address (varchar(25))

公司2 ：Company_ID(guid) as Primary key, Address (varchar(25))

员工：Employee_ID(guid) as Primary key, Company_ID ( Foreign key referencing from Company1 and Company2)

这里Employee表中Company_ID的外键来自2个不同的表。这适用于SQL Server 2008。

我的问题是我不知何故觉得这不正确。我从来没有在任何系统中做过这个，但我在一个样本中尝试这个并且它有效。我无法解释自己这里出了什么问题，因为它完美无缺。

我的假设是正确的还是请指导我这个？上述关系的缺陷是什么？

Answer 1

你的感觉是对的。。。这不是“正确的”。或者，至少，这是一个糟糕的设计决定。

但是，您的外键关系可能是复合键。通常，您将有另一列指定此引用的表。复杂的是，这可能是一个“隐含”的列。因此，如果一个表具有美国地址和其他非美国地址，则两个表都不具有“IsUS”标志。但是，美国的记录会引用一个表格，而非美国的记录则指的是另一个表格。

另一个问题是如何维护这些密钥。您真的不希望有两个具有相互依赖的主键的表。解决此问题的典型方法是将两个表合并为一个。

虽然这是一个坏主意，但您可能不得不忍受这种结构。如果你可以改变它，你应该。

来自不同表的多个列作为一列的外键
