The following bug has been logged on the website: Bug reference: 8141 Logged by: Andras Vaczi Email address: andras.va...@zalando.de PostgreSQL version: 9.1.9 Operating system: linux/Ubuntu 12.10 Description:
Consider the following table with a CHECK constraint: CREATE TABLE check_test ( id integer NOT NULL, col integer, CONSTRAINT unique_with_null_check1 CHECK (col >= 1 AND id < 20) ); This INSERT statement succeeds: INSERT INTO check_test (id, col) VALUES (1, NULL); While, col being NULL, the whole CHECK condition evaluates to NULL - this is covered in the documentation. But this is refused: INSERT INTO check_test (id, col) VALUES (21, NULL); ERROR: new row for relation "check_test" violates check constraint "unique_with_null_check1" I think this behaviour should be either also mentioned in the docs or cosidered a bug. -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs
