Many thank you, Mr.Laurenz
This is useful for me. I will apply this to my DB.
Best regards
Nam

This is getting more difficult, but you can *still* do it with an exclusion constraint in PostgreSQL. You need to
installan extension with a GiST operator class for varchar:
test=# CREATE EXTENSION btree_gist;
Then you can do the following:
CREATE TABLE network (
id integer PRIMARY KEY,
network_id varchar(20) NOT NULL,
subnet cidr NOT NULL
);
ALTER TABLE network
ADD CONSTRAINT network_subnet_excl
EXCLUDE USING gist (
network_id gist_text_ops WITH =,
subnet inet_ops WITH &&
);
Then you get:
test=> INSERT INTO network VALUES (1, 'aa','192.168.1.0/24'); INSERT 0 1
test=> INSERT INTO network VALUES (2, 'aa', '192.168.1.0/24');
ERROR: conflicting key value violates exclusion constraint "network_subnet_excl"
DETAIL: Key (network_id, subnet)=(aa, 192.168.1.0/24) conflicts with existing key (network_id, subnet)=(aa,
192.168.1.0/24).
test=> INSERT INTO network VALUES (3, 'bb', '192.168.1.0/24'); INSERT 0 1
As Kevin said, using SERIALIZABLE transactions is an alternative, but a constraint is probably better.
