Snippet Name: Constraint Checks

Description: A check constraint allows you to specify a condition on each row in a table.

A check constraint can NOT be defined on a VIEW.

The check constraint defined on a table must refer to only columns in that table. It can not refer to columns in other tables.

A check constraint can NOT include a SUBQUERY.

A check constraint can be defined in either a CREATE TABLE statement or an ALTER TABLE statement.
