This is getting more difficult, but you can *still* do it with an exclusion
constraint in PostgreSQL. You need to install an 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.
