Hello!

Thanks very much, that's what I was looking for!

Hi Mark,

The SQL Standard syntax for BINARY literals is a little odd. It is

  X''


For instance:

  X'FEED'


For more information, please see the description of the CHAR datatype in 
the Derby Reference Manual: 
http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/10.15/ref/rrefsqlj57924.html


The following table definition works for me:

connect 'jdbc:derby:memory:db;create=true';

create table core.users
(
  user_id    char (16) for bit data not null,
  user_password_hash_algo    varchar (64) not null,
  user_password_hash varchar (64) not null,
  user_email varchar (128) not null,
  user_display_name  varchar (128) not null,
  user_locked    boolean not null,

  constraint user_id_key primary key (user_id),
  constraint user_id_nonzero check (user_id != 
X''),

  constraint user_display_name_unique unique (user_display_name)
);

Hope this helps,
-Rick
