CHECK for 2 FKs to be non equal

[Alexander Farber <alexander.farber@xxxxxxxxx>]

Good morning,

I am trying to add a table holding player reviews of each other:

words=> CREATE TABLE words_reviews (

         uid integer NOT NULL REFERENCES words_users(uid) CHECK (uid <> author) ON DELETE CASCADE,

         author integer NOT NULL REFERENCES words_users(uid) ON DELETE CASCADE,

         nice boolean NOT NULL,

         review varchar(255),

         updated timestamptz NOT NULL,

         PRIMARY KEY(uid, author)

);

but get syntax error in 9.5:

ERROR:  syntax error at or near "ON"

LINE 2: ...REFERENCES words_users(uid) CHECK (uid <> author) ON DELETE ...

                                                             ^

My intention is to forbid users to rate themselves by the CHECK (uid <> author).

What am I doing wrong please?

Regards

Alex

P.S. I apologize if GMail misformats my message... Here is the words_users table:
