Can I use a check constraint, or something other than a function to force

Thx in advance
try to use regexp in your CHECK CONSTRAINT:

CHECK (column::bpchar ~ '^[a-z]+$'::bpchar::text)

Better would be CHECK (column = tolower(column)) which won't fail on
non-letters and will work in non-C locales

yes . but Kevin was asking for a way without a function. And by the way - it should read lower instead of tolower ... or am I wrong?

Cheers

Andy
