Personally I would wrap it around DOMAIN, i.e.: CREATE DOMAIN regex AS text CHECK ('' ~ VALUE IN (TRUE,FALSE)); And then use 'regex' type instead of 'text'. For a nice look&feel: CREATE TABLE rx_test ( rx regex ); qnex=>insert into rx_test values ('.*'); INSERT 0 1 qnex=>insert into rx_test values ('qwe'); INSERT 0 1 qnex=>insert into rx_test values ('aaa(aaa'); ERROR: invalid regular expression: parentheses () not balanced ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 7: You can help support the PostgreSQL project by donating at http://www.postgresql.org/about/donate
