ORA-22894:不能在非空表上现有未约束REF列上添加约束
官方解释
该错误消息在向现有REF列添加约束时报告。
常见案例
当用户试图在现有REF列上添加约束时报告此错误,如下所示:
ALTER TABLE table_name
ADD CONSTRAINT constraint_name
FOREIGN KEY ref_column_name REFERENCES …;
一般处理方法及步骤

ALTER TABLE table_name
ADD CONSTRAINT constraint_name FOREIGN
KEY ref_column_name REFERENCES …
enable validate;
