> Data types are a way to limit the kind of data that can be stored
in a table. For many applications, however, the constraint they
provide is too coarse. For example, a column containing a product
price should probably only accept positive values. But there is no
standard data type that accepts only positive numbers. Another issue is
that you might want to constrain column data with respect to other
columns or rows. For example, in a table containing product
information, there should be only one row for each product number.
</P
><P
> To that end, SQL allows you to define constraints on columns and
tables. Constraints give you as much control over the data in your
tables as you wish. If a user attempts to store data in a column
that would violate a constraint, an error is raised. This applies
even if the value came from the default value definition.

><P
> A check constraint is the most generic constraint type. It allows
you to specify that the value in a certain column must satisfy a
Boolean (truth-value) expression. For instance, to require positive
product prices, you could use:
</P><PRE
CLASS="PROGRAMLISTING"
>CREATE TABLE products (
product_no integer,
name text,
price numeric <B
CLASS="EMPHASIS"
>CHECK (price > 0)</B
>
);</PRE
><P>
</P
><P
> As you see, the constraint definition comes after the data type,
just like default value definitions. Default values and
constraints can be listed in any order. A check constraint
consists of the key word <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>CHECK</TT
> followed by an
expression in parentheses. The check constraint expression should
involve the column thus constrained, otherwise the constraint
would not make too much sense.
</P
><P
> You can also give the constraint a separate name. This clarifies
error messages and allows you to refer to the constraint when you
need to change it. The syntax is:
</P><PRE
CLASS="PROGRAMLISTING"
>CREATE TABLE products (
product_no integer,
name text,
price numeric <B
CLASS="EMPHASIS"
>CONSTRAINT positive_price</B
> CHECK (price > 0)
);</PRE
><P>
So, to specify a named constraint, use the key word
<TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>CONSTRAINT</TT
> followed by an identifier followed
by the constraint definition. (If you don't specify a constraint
name in this way, the system chooses a name for you.)
</P
><P
> A check constraint can also refer to several columns. Say you
store a regular price and a discounted price, and you want to
ensure that the discounted price is lower than the regular price:
</P><PRE
CLASS="PROGRAMLISTING"
>CREATE TABLE products (
product_no integer,
name text,
price numeric CHECK (price > 0),
discounted_price numeric CHECK (discounted_price > 0),
<B
CLASS="EMPHASIS"
>CHECK (price > discounted_price)</B
>
);</PRE
><P>
</P
><P
> The first two constraints should look familiar. The third one
uses a new syntax. It is not attached to a particular column,
instead it appears as a separate item in the comma-separated
column list. Column definitions and these constraint
definitions can be listed in mixed order.
</P
><P
> We say that the first two constraints are column constraints, whereas the
third one is a table constraint because it is written separately
from any one column definition. Column constraints can also be
written as table constraints, while the reverse is not necessarily
possible, since a column constraint is supposed to refer to only the
column it is attached to. (<SPAN
CLASS="PRODUCTNAME"
>PostgreSQL</SPAN
> doesn't
enforce that rule, but you should follow it if you want your table
definitions to work with other database systems.) The above example could
also be written as:
</P><PRE
CLASS="PROGRAMLISTING"
>CREATE TABLE products (
product_no integer,
name text,
price numeric,
CHECK (price > 0),
discounted_price numeric,
CHECK (discounted_price > 0),
CHECK (price > discounted_price)
);</PRE
><P>
or even:
</P><PRE
CLASS="PROGRAMLISTING"
>CREATE TABLE products (
product_no integer,
name text,
price numeric CHECK (price > 0),
discounted_price numeric,
CHECK (discounted_price > 0 AND price > discounted_price)
);</PRE
><P>
It's a matter of taste.
</P
><P
> Names can be assigned to table constraints in the same way as
column constraints:
</P><PRE
CLASS="PROGRAMLISTING"
>CREATE TABLE products (
product_no integer,

price numeric,
CHECK (price > 0),
discounted_price numeric,
CHECK (discounted_price > 0),
<B
CLASS="EMPHASIS"
>CONSTRAINT valid_discount</B
> CHECK (price > discounted_price)
);</PRE
><P>
</P
><P
> It should be noted that a check constraint is satisfied if the
check expression evaluates to true or the null value. Since most
expressions will evaluate to the null value if any operand is null,
they will not prevent null values in the constrained columns. To
ensure that a column does not contain null values, the not-null
constraint described in the next section can be used.

A uniqueness restriction covering only some rows cannot be written as
a unique constraint, but it is possible to enforce such a restriction by
creating a unique <A
HREF="indexes-partial.html"
>partial index</A
>.
</P
><P
> In general, a unique constraint is violated if there is more than
one row in the table where the values of all of the
columns included in the constraint are equal.
However, two null values are never considered equal in this
comparison. That means even in the presence of a
unique constraint it is possible to store duplicate
rows that contain a null value in at least one of the constrained
columns. This behavior conforms to the SQL standard, but we have
heard that other SQL databases might not follow this rule. So be
careful when developing applications that are intended to be
portable.

Relational database theory

</P
><P

documentation purposes and for client applications. For example,
a GUI application that allows modifying row values probably needs
to know the primary key of a table to be able to identify rows
uniquely. There are also various ways in which the database system
makes use of a primary key if one has been declared; for example,
the primary key defines the default target column(s) for foreign keys
referencing its table.

Let's also assume you have a table storing orders of those

because in absence of a column list the primary key of the
referenced table is used as the referenced column(s).
</P

As usual, it then needs to be written in table constraint form.
Here is a contrived syntax example:
</P><PRE
CLASS="PROGRAMLISTING"
>CREATE TABLE t1 (
a integer PRIMARY KEY,
b integer,
c integer,
<B
CLASS="EMPHASIS"
>FOREIGN KEY (b, c) REFERENCES other_table (c1, c2)</B

);</PRE
><P>
Of course, the number and type of the constrained columns need to
match the number and type of the referenced columns.
</P
><P
> You can assign your own name for a foreign key constraint,
in the usual way.
</P
><P
> A table can contain more than one foreign key constraint. This is
used to implement many-to-many relationships between tables. Say
you have tables about products and orders, but now you want to
allow one order to contain possibly many products (which the
structure above did not allow). You could use this table structure:
</P><PRE
CLASS="PROGRAMLISTING"
>CREATE TABLE products (
product_no integer PRIMARY KEY,
name text,
price numeric
);
CREATE TABLE orders (
order_id integer PRIMARY KEY,
shipping_address text,
...
);
CREATE TABLE order_items (
product_no integer REFERENCES products,
order_id integer REFERENCES orders,
quantity integer,
PRIMARY KEY (product_no, order_id)
);</PRE
><P>
Notice that the primary key overlaps with the foreign keys in
the last table.
</P
><P
> We know that the foreign keys disallow creation of orders that
do not relate to any products. But what if a product is removed
after an order is created that references it? SQL allows you to
handle that as well. Intuitively, we have a few options:
<P
></P
></P><UL
COMPACT="COMPACT"
><LI
><P
>Disallow deleting a referenced product</P
></LI
><LI
><P
>Delete the orders as well</P
></LI
><LI
><P
>Something else?</P
></LI
></UL
><P>
</P
><P
> To illustrate this, let's implement the following policy on the
many-to-many relationship example above: when someone wants to
remove a product that is still referenced by an order (via
<TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>order_items</TT
>), we disallow it. If someone
removes an order, the order items are removed as well:
</P><PRE
CLASS="PROGRAMLISTING"

CREATE TABLE orders (

</P

referenced row. <TT

referencing rows still exist when the constraint is checked, an error

(The essential difference between these two choices is that
<TT

later in the transaction, whereas <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"

<TT
CLASS="LITERAL"

row(s) referencing it should be automatically deleted as well.
There are two other options:
<TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>SET NULL</TT
> and <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>SET DEFAULT</TT
>.
These cause the referencing columns to be set to nulls or default
values, respectively, when the referenced row is deleted.
Note that these do not excuse you from observing any constraints.
For example, if an action specifies <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>SET DEFAULT</TT
>
but the default value would not satisfy the foreign key, the
operation will fail.
</P
><P
> Analogous to <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>ON DELETE</TT

<TT
CLASS="LITERAL"

</P
><P
> Since a <TT

>DELETE</TT

or an <TT
CLASS="COMMAND"

> of a referenced column will require
a scan of the referencing table for rows matching the old value, it
is often a good idea to index the referencing columns. Because this
is not always needed, and there are many choices available on how
to index, declaration of a foreign key constraint does not
automatically create an index on the referencing columns.
</P

If the foreign key references a unique constraint, there are some
