Considering that you could potentially have to reevaluate each CHECK
constraint every time you updated any table in the database, I would think
it would be a *real* bad idea to allow that. There is no way to
automatically create the triggers needed to satisfy "When should I check the
constraint?"
If it can't be constructed as a check against a literal value or values, or
a foreign key constraint, it should be up to the user to maintain that
consistency check with the appropriate triggers.
