Hi:

Is there anyway to create a unique index or constraint on part of a column?

Something like this, but something that works ;-)

   ALTER TABLE invoices
   ADD CONSTRAINT cons UNIQUE (EXTRACT(YEAR FROM invoice_date), 
innvoice_number);

Thanks for any help.
Ruben,

CREATE UNIQUE INDEX idx_cons ON invoices (EXTRACT(YEAR FROM invoice_date), 
innvoice_number);

The only difference to a unique constraint is, that it cannot be used as the 
target of a foreign key constraint.

Regards
Thomas
