Description:
Hi, I'am want to add a check constraint that checks if the first condition
is true OR the second condition is true. If one of the two conditions is
true, then the check is true.
Example:
alter table table_name add constraint c1 CHECK ( (type = 0 AND field1 IS NOT
NULL AND field2 IS NOT NULL AND field3 IS NOT NULL) OR (type_id = 1 AND
field1 IS NULL AND field2 IS NULL AND field3 IS NULL) )
At the execution of the query, the parentheses that defines condition 1 and
condition 2 are removed. By removing the parentheses, the expression does
not means the same thing. Why postgresql removes the parentheses or how can
I do the constraint differently?
