1.Can anyone please tell me how to disable and enable all constraints pertaining to one table at once.
I want to disable them at once and also enable them at once.
I make use of TOAD.

Schema Browser, Constraints tab. <Control>-click (i.e. select) all constraints you want to disable. Click the "Disable the selected constraints" gray bulb icon.

ok. is there a way to select only the constraints referenced by other tables.
For eg. DCODE table is referenced in 1000 other tables. How can i get a list if all those tables which has referenced one particular table(DCODE)

@Michel Cadot: IS " EMP_EMP_FK and EMP_DEPT_FK" constraints w.r.t EMP table?
If so i have 100's of constraints attached to my table. Am i supposed to type all of them?

I am a beginner. So if my questions sound very silly pls excuse me.

1/ Yes
2/ Yes or use TOAD or use SQL to generate the statement (this will learn you to query the dictionary (user_constraints view) and is a nice SQL exercise)

Link user_constraints to itself. Query the unique constraints on the table. Then link to the constraints that reference those constraints.
Look at the constraint_type and r_constraint_name columns

ok. u mean

SELECT * FROM USER_CONSTRAINTS WHERE TABLE_NAME = 'ABCD'

get R_CONSTRAINT_NAME from here.

select * FROM USER_CONSTRAINTS where constraint_name='R_CONSTRAINT_NAME'

This will return the table_name that references table 'ABCD' ??

Not quite. You get the constraint_name from the first query. You link that to r_constraint_name. It can be done as a single query.

R_constraint_name is the name of the constraint the fk references.

I told you to swap constraint_name and r_constraint_name around.
