hi.
i only played around with
v4-0001-Add-support-for-NOT-ENFORCED-in-CHECK-constraints.patch.
create table t(a int);
alter table t ADD CONSTRAINT the_constraint CHECK (a > 0) NOT ENFORCED;
insert into t select -1;
select conname, contype,condeferrable,condeferred, convalidated,
conenforced,conkey,connoinherit
from pg_constraint
where conrelid = 't'::regclass;
pg_constraint->convalidated should be set to false for NOT ENFORCED constraint?
Am I missing something?
<varlistentry id="sql-createtable-parms-enforce">
<term><literal>ENFORCED</literal></term>
<term><literal>NOT ENFORCED</literal></term>
<listitem>
<para>
This is currently only allowed for <literal>CHECK</literal> constraints.
If the constraint is <literal>NOT ENFORCED</literal>, this clause
specifies that the constraint check will be skipped. When the constraint
is <literal>ENFORCED</literal>, check is performed after each statement.
This is the default.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
"This is the default." kind of ambiguous?
I think you mean: by default, all constraints are implicit ENFORCED.

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/misplace
says:
"to put in a wrong or inappropriate place"
I found the "misplaced" error message is not helpful.
for example:
CREATE TABLE UNIQUE_EN_TBL(i int UNIQUE ENFORCED);
ERROR: misplaced ENFORCED clause
the error message only tells us thatspecify ENFORCED is wrong.
but didn't say why it's wrong.
we can saying that
"ENFORCED clauses can only be used for CHECK constraints"
------------------------------------------------------------------
the following queries is a bug?
drop table t;
create table t(a int);
alter table t ADD CONSTRAINT cc CHECK (a > 0) NOT ENFORCED;
insert into t select -1;
alter table t add constraint cc1 check (a > 1) not ENFORCED not ENFORCED;
ERROR: check constraint "cc1" of relation "t" is violated by some row
alter table t add constraint cc1 check (a > 1) not ENFORCED;
ERROR: check constraint "cc1" of relation "t" is violated by some row
------------------------------------------------------------------
drop table t;
create table t(a int);
alter table t ADD CONSTRAINT cc CHECK (a > 0) NOT ENFORCED not enforced;
seems not easy to make it fail with alter table multiple "not enforced".
I guess it should be fine.
since we disallow a mix of "not enforced" and "enforced".
alter table t ADD CONSTRAINT cc CHECK (a > 0) NOT ENFORCED enforced;
------------------------------------------------------------------
typedef struct Constraint
{
NodeTag type;
ConstrType contype; /* see above */
char *conname; /* Constraint name, or NULL if unnamed */
bool deferrable; /* DEFERRABLE? */
bool initdeferred; /* INITIALLY DEFERRED? */
bool skip_validation; /* skip validation of existing rows? */
bool initially_valid; /* mark the new constraint as valid? */
bool is_enforced; /* enforced constraint? */
}
makeNode(Constraint) will default is_enforced to false.
Which makes the default value not what we want.
That means we may need to pay more attention for the trip from
makeNode(Constraint) to finally insert the constraint to the catalog.
if we change it to is_not_enforced, makeNode will default to false.
is_not_enforced is false, means the constraint is enforced.
which is not that intuitive...
------------------------------------------------------------------
do we need to update for "enforced" in
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/sql-keywords-appendix.html
?
------------------------------------------------------------------
seems don't have
ALTER TABLE <name> VALIDATE CONSTRAINT
interacts with not forced sql tests.
for example:
drop table if exists t;
create table t(a int);
alter table t add constraint cc check (a <> 1) not enforced NOT VALID;
insert into t values(1); ---success.
alter table t validate constraint cc;
select conname,convalidated, conenforced
from pg_constraint
where conrelid = 't'::regclass;
returns:
conname | convalidated | conenforced
---------+--------------+-------------
cc | t | f
Now we have a value in the table "t" that violates the check
constraint, while convalidated is true.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
i add more tests where it should fail.
also add a test case for `create table like INCLUDING CONSTRAINTS`
please check attached.
