Where can I set a check constraint in SSMS Table Designer Mode

Question

So here I have a table:

What I want is to add a check constraint for the column SessionState in the above designer mode so it can work like a enum. But unfortunately, I can't find the place where I can do that.

I tried right also " right click -> script table as-> create table " but here I can't make a not null check:

Answer 1

Right-click on the SessionState and Select Check Constraints...
Then add your constraint.

Or Select dbo.Table > Constraints > New Constraints... > Expression (under General) and then enter your expression.

([SessionState]='Unknown' OR [SessionState]='Useless' OR [SessionState]='Useful')

Or simply enter this code

Alter Table TableName
ADD CONSTRAINT Constraint_name Check (SessionState IN ('Useful', 'Useless', 'Unknown'))

Updated

(Backup all data)

Run this query and get all null & unsupported values. Then, change them (change SessionState values).

Select * from [Session] WHERE SessionState IS NULL OR SessionState NOT IN ('Useful', 'Useless', 'Unknown')

To change, use this queries...

UPDATE [Session] SET SessionState='Unknown' WHERE SessionState IS NULL

UPDATE [Session] SET SessionState='Unknown' WHERE SessionState NOT IN ('Useful', 'Useless', 'Unknown')

Do the first step again after changing the values.

Then run these queries...

Alter Table Session
ALTER COLUMN SessionState nchar(40) NOT NULL

Alter Table Session
ADD CONSTRAINT Constraint_name Check (SessionState IN ('Useful', 'Useless', 'Unknown'))
