SQL CHECK Constraint
SQL CHECK Constraint
The CHECK
constraint is used to limit the value range that can be placed in a column.
If you define a CHECK
constraint on a column it will allow only certain values for this column.
If you define a CHECK
constraint on a table it can limit the values in certain columns based on values in other columns in the row.
SQL CHECK On CREATE TABLE
The following SQL creates a CHECK
constraint on the "Age" column when the "Persons" table is created. The CHECK
constraint ensures that the age of a person must be 18, or older:
MySQL:
ID int NOT NULL,
LastName varchar(255) NOT NULL,
FirstName varchar(255),
Age int,
CHECK (Age>=18)
);
SQL Server / Oracle / MS Access:
ID int NOT NULL,
LastName varchar(255) NOT NULL,
FirstName varchar(255),
Age int CHECK (Age>=18)
);
To allow naming of a CHECK
constraint, and for defining a CHECK
constraint on multiple columns, use the following SQL syntax:
MySQL / SQL Server / Oracle / MS Access:
ID int NOT NULL,
LastName varchar(255) NOT NULL,
FirstName varchar(255),
Age int,
City varchar(255),
CONSTRAINT CHK_Person CHECK (Age>=18 AND City='Sandnes')
);
SQL CHECK On ALTER TABLE
To create a CHECK
constraint on the "Age" column when the table is already created, use the following SQL:
MySQL / SQL Server / Oracle / MS Access:
ADD CHECK (Age>=18);
To allow naming of a CHECK
constraint, and for defining a CHECK
constraint on multiple columns, use the following SQL syntax:
MySQL / SQL Server / Oracle / MS Access:
ADD CONSTRAINT CHK_PersonAge CHECK (Age>=18 AND City='Sandnes');
DROP A CHECK Constraint
To drop a CHECK
constraint, use the following SQL:
SQL Server / Oracle / MS Access:
DROP CONSTRAINT CHK_PersonAge;
MySQL:
DROP CHECK CHK_PersonAge;
