Thread: problem with check constraints

problem with check constraints

From

Hi,

When I create a check constraint in PgAdmin3 1.8.4 on a Postgresql
8.3.3: ((A and B) or (C and D))
I get with create script: (A and B or C and D) which is wrong.

Please help.

Cheers,
Anton

No, it isn't - both are the same.

AND has higher operator precedence than OR, see
