Hi, Forgive me my poor English for writing.
Sees, below, that it seems to have one bug in set transform_null_equals or, then, in <> NULL. This fact occurs in Versions: 7.4.5 and 8.0.0-rc2. -- Creation with transform_null_equals set to off set transform_null_equals to OFF; --drop table cntpagit1; Create table cntpagit1 (VALORPG numeric(10,2), DTPAGTO dates); ALTER TABLE CNTPAGIT1 ADD CONSTRAINT TTT CHECK ((VALORPG > 0 AND DTPAGTO <> NULL) OR (VALORPG = 0 AND DTPAGTO = NULL)); -- They see as it was in the Catalog -- Table: CNTPAGIT1 -- DROP TABLE CNTPAGIT1; CREATE TABLE cntpagit1 ( valorpg numeric(10,2), dtpagto date, CONSTRAINT ttt CHECK (valorpg > 0::numeric AND dtpagto <> NULL::date OR valorpg = 0::numeric AND dtpagto = NULL::date) ) WITH OIDS; ALTER TABLE cntpagit1 OWNER postgres; -- Result of sql. insert into cntpagit1 values(1, NULL); Query returned successfully: one row 20540 with OID inserted, 60 ms execution times. insert into cntpagit1 values(0, '20050115 '); Query returned successfully: one row 20541 with OID inserted, 60 ms execution times. -- Creation with transform_null_equals set to on set transform_null_equals to ON; -- drop table cntpagit1; Create table cntpagit1 ( VALORPG numeric(10,2), DTPAGTO dates); ALTER TABLE CNTPAGIT1 ADD CONSTRAINT TTT CHECK ((VALORPG > 0 AND DTPAGTO <> NULL) OR (VALORPG = 0 AND DTPAGTO = NULL)); -- They see as it was in the Catalog. -- Table: CNTPAGIT1 -- DROP TABLE CNTPAGIT1; CREATE TABLE cntpagit1 (valorpg numeric(10,2), dtpagto dates, --- *** Has one bug in the transformation of <> NULL for IS NOT NULL? *** CONSTRAINT ttt CHECK (valorpg > 0::numeric AND dtpagto <> NULL::date OR valorpg = 0::numeric AND dtpagto IS NULL) ) WITH OIDS; ALTER TABLE cntpagit1 OWNER postgres; -- Result of sql. insert into cntpagit1 values(1, NULL); Query returned successfully: one row 20545 with OID inserted, 70 ms execution times. insert into cntpagit1 values(0, '20050115 '); ERROR: new row will be relation "cntpagit1" violates check constraint "ttt" -- Creating the check with IS NOT NULL and IS NULL funcionou correctly.
