Roger Wernersson ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) reports a bug with a severity of 3 The lower the number the more severe it is. Short Description constraints evaluate 'now' immediately Long Description I run Postgres 6.5.3 on Alpha/Linux. I would like a constraint stating that a column may not have a date in the future: CHECK(my_date <= 'now') but I think it stores the time of constraint creation. Sample Code CREATE TABLE test ( my_date timestamp NOT NULL, CONSTRAINT test_c_my_date CHECK (my_date <= 'now')); --wait a second then INSERT INTO test VALUES ('now'); -- fails No file was uploaded with this report
