Is this a bug? create table foo( c char(2) check (c in ('09', '10', '11', '12', 'n/a')) ); CREATE insert into foo values('09'); INSERT insert into foo values('10'); INSERT insert into foo values('08'); ExecAppend: rejected due to CHECK constraint foo_c insert into foo values('n/a'); ExecAppend: rejected due to CHECK constraint foo_c clearly this was a 'whups' on my part, but it would have been nice to know that my constraint was bogus at the time the table was created. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? http://www.postgresql.org/search.mpl
