[SQL] Question about domains.

[Dmitriy Igrishin]

Hey all,

Is there a way to add constraint to the domain that used by a composite type
that used by a table? E.g.:

CREATE DOMAIN superid AS integer;

CREATE TYPE idtype AS
(
  id superid
);

CREATE TABLE mytab (id idtype NOT NULL);

ALTER DOMAIN superid ADD CONSTRAINT superid_check CHECK (VALUE > 0);

ALTER DOMAIN superid DROP CONSTRAINT superid_check;

produces the following output:

dmitigr=> CREATE DOMAIN
Time: 23,809 ms
dmitigr=> CREATE TYPE
Time: 44,875 ms
dmitigr=> CREATE TABLE
Time: 134,101 ms
dmitigr=> ERROR:  cannot alter type "superid" because column "mytab"."id"
uses it
dmitigr=> ALTER DOMAIN
Time: 0,270 ms

As you can see, adding constraint to the domain produces an error, while
dropping
constraint is possible!
Any comments?

Dmitriy
