I am practicing with SQL examples comming from the book:
JOE CELKO'S
SQL
PUZZLES
& ANSWERS
The following codes doesn't work on PostgreSQL 8.1.4 but according to the book
does conform to
SQL-92. Is there any other solutions that would result in the same effect? Or
is this an example
of a contraint that should be avoided at all costs?
CREATE TABLE BADGES
(
BADGENO SERIAL NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
EMPNO INTEGER NOT NULL REFERENCES SECEMPLOYEES (EMPNO),
ISSUEDATE DATE NOT NULL,
STATUS CHAR(1) NOT NULL CHECK ( STATUS IN ('A', 'I')),
CHECK ( 1 = ALL ( SELECT COUNT(STATUS)
FROM BADGES
WHERE STATUS = 'A'
GROUP BY EMPNO))
);
