Re: Check constraints do not seem to be working!!! - Mailing list pgsql-general

Consider this table definition:
         create table t ( i serial, b bool, c bool,
                                constraint b_c check ( (b = true and c is not null ) or (b is distinct
from true and c is null) )
                                constraint b_c check ( (b = true and c is not null ) or (b = false and c
is null) or (b is null and c is null) )
                                );
Despite the above two constraints, the following rows get into the table:
     insert into t (b , c) values (null, true), (null, false); 

(b = TRUE AND c IS NOT NULL) evaluates to null when b is null
