I need a UNIQUE
constraint which spans 2 columns, but allows NULL values anywhere. I have this :
CREATE TABLE table_1{
COLUMN a INT SET DEFAULT NULL,
COLUMN b INT SET DEFAULT NULL
-- <insert constraint here>
}
Some examples:
a b
1 2
3 4
valid
a b
1 1
2 3
invalid
a b
1 2
1 3
invalid
a b
1 2
3 1
invalid
a b
1 2
3 NULL
valid
a b
1 2
3 NULL
4 NULL
NULL 5
valid
modification of @a_horse_with_no_name suggestion
create table table_1(a int default null, b int default null);
ALTER TABLE table_1
ADD CONSTRAINT excl exclude using gist ( (array_remove(array[a, b],NULL)) with &&);
this will work fine with NULLable columns
