well WHERE foo IN (null, ...) returns null if foo isn't explicitly in the list (ie, "it may or may not equal the unknown value in the list"). And I think constraints that return null are deemed to have succeeded. -- greg ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 8: explain analyze is your friend
