Hello,
I would like to know if there's a simple way to customize the range for
dates,
to avoid people insert dates before 1900 and after 2020, for example.
test=# CREATE TABLE foo (
id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
dt DATE,
CHECK (
EXTRACT('year' FROM dt) >= 1900 AND EXTRACT('year' FROM dt) < 2020
)
);
test=# INSERT INTO foo (dt) VALUES ('1984-03-02');
INSERT 0 1
test=# INSERT INTO foo (dt) VALUES ('1884-03-02');
ERROR: new row for relation "foo" violates check constraint "foo_dt_check"
test=# INSERT INTO foo (dt) VALUES ('2024-03-02');
ERROR: new row for relation "foo" violates check constraint "foo_dt_check"
There's probably a more elegant way to do this.
