RE: ora-2298 cannot enable constraints parent keys not found

The cause has to be orphaned records. Do a simple table join select x from child_table minus select x from parent_table.

Hi All,

I am resending because I forgot to mention the environment.

NT 4.0 Oracle 8.0.5

I get the subject error message when trying to enable a constraint. The message
seems obvious that orphan records exists. However I am 100% certain there is no
orphan records. Does anyone know what may else cause this to occur?

Thanks
Rick
