I am practicing with SQL examples comming from the book: JOE CELKO'S SQL PUZZLES & ANSWERS
The following codes doesn't work on PostgreSQL 8.1.4 but according to the book does conform to SQL-92. Is there any other solutions that would result in the same effect? Or is this an example of a contraint that should be avoided at all costs? CREATE TABLE BADGES ( BADGENO SERIAL NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY, EMPNO INTEGER NOT NULL REFERENCES SECEMPLOYEES (EMPNO), ISSUEDATE DATE NOT NULL, STATUS CHAR(1) NOT NULL CHECK ( STATUS IN ('A', 'I')), CHECK ( 1 = ALL ( SELECT COUNT(STATUS) FROM BADGES WHERE STATUS = 'A' GROUP BY EMPNO)) ); ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
