psql (9.6.7, server 11.3)
I have a table...
dvdb=# \d+ dvm_events;
Table "dvm.dvm_events"
Column | Type | Modifiers | Storage | Stats
target | Description
------------------+--------------------------+-----------+----------+--------------+----------------------------------------------------------------------
dvm_id | integer | not null | plain |
|
project | character varying | not null | extended |
|
status | character varying | | extended |
|
Check constraints:
"dvm_events_status_check" CHECK (status::text = ANY
(ARRAY['passed'::character varying, 'failed'::character varying,
NULL::character varying]::text[]))
(There's a lot more to the table than what you see here, but I took it out
because it didn't look relevant)
I believe it should disallow an insert with a status of "foo", but...
dvdb=# insert into dvm_events (dvm_id,project,status) values
(99999999,'mero','foo');
INSERT 0 1
This is outside of a transaction and definitely not in a transaction with
deferred constraint checking.
Check constraints seem to work fine if I create a test table having a
constrained column. But this existing table seems to have constraints
disabled for some reason.
What could cause this ?
