Despite the above two constraints, the following rows get into the table:

This behavior is described in the docs https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/ddl-constraints.html#DDL-CONSTRAINTS-CHECK-CONSTRAINTS:

> 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.
