Questions concerning check constraints

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi list,

I have two question concerning check constraints:
1) Is it possible to refer to a column in a different table, ie
entering a value in mytable.x should only be allowed if mytable2.y=1 for
example? I know that it is possible to use triggers to do that, but I
think adding a simple check constraint might be simpler.
2) Is it possible to issue custom error messages in case a constraint
is violated?

Thanks!
