Hi @ll,
i'm trying to create a table with 2 int-columns and a constraint that a
pair of (x,y) cannot be as (y,x) inserted:
test=# create table foo(u1 int,u2 int, unique (least(u1,u2),greatest(u1,u2)));
ERROR: syntax error at or near "("
LINE 1: create table foo(u1 int,u2 int, unique (least(u1,u2),greates...
I know, i can solve that in this way:
test=*# create table foo(u1 int,u2 int);
CREATE TABLE
test=*# create unique index idx_foo on foo(least(u1,u2),greatest(u1,u2));
CREATE INDEX
But is there a way to define the unique constraint within the create table - command?
Thx.
Andreas
