Creating Constraints

Sunday, January 31, 2010 ·

Constraints can be enforced at two levels:

* Column level
* Table level

A constraint can be created with either of the following statements:

* CREATE TABLE
* ALTER TABLE

With the ALTER TABLE statement, you can disable or enable the imposed constraint without dropping it or re-creating it:

* Disable a constraint by using the DISABLE clause.
* Enable a constraint by using the ENABLE clause.
