The following bug has been logged on the website: Bug reference: 8153 Logged by: Marc Mamin Email address: m...@intershop.de PostgreSQL version: 9.2.4 Operating system: Linux & windows Description:
hello, This is not a functional bugs, but it appers (at least for me...) that following constraint gets defined with some unecessary overweight: create table test (a varchar); (1) alter table test add constraint test_ck check ( a in ('a','b')); I'd expect this to be resolved in CHECK (a = ANY (ARRAY['a'::character varying, 'b'::character varying]) ). I've tried further variantes. (3) looks better but there is always a cast on the table side. (2) alter table test add constraint test_ck_2 check ( a = ANY (ARRAY['a'::character varying, 'b'::character varying] )); (3) alter table test add constraint test_ck_3 check ( a = ANY (ARRAY['a'::text, 'b'] )); \d+ test Table "public.test" Column | Type | Modifiers | Storage | Stats target | Description --------+-------------------+-----------+----------+--------------+------------- a | character varying | | extended | | Check constraints: "test_ck" CHECK (a::text = ANY (ARRAY['a'::character varying, 'b'::character varying]::text[])) "test_ck_2" CHECK (a::text = ANY (ARRAY['a'::character varying, 'b'::character varying]::text[])) "test_ck_3" CHECK (a::text = ANY (ARRAY['a'::text, 'b'::text])) best regards, Marc Mamin -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs
