SQL CONSTAINTS

The SQL constraints are the rules enforced on the data in a table. A constraint can be specified with the CREATE TABLE statement at the time table creation or we can specify it with the ALTER TABLE statement after the table creation.

Syntax:

CREATE TABLE <em>tableName</em>
(
<em>columnName1 datatype</em>(<em>size</em>) <em>constraintName</em>,
<em>columnName2 data_type</em>(<em>size</em>) <em>constraintName</em>,
<em>columnName2 data_type</em>(<em>size</em>) <em>constraintName</em>,
....
);

Commonly used constraints in SQL:

1. SQL PRIMARY KEY Constraint.

2. SQL FOREIGN KEY.

3. SQL NOT NULL Constraint.

4. SQL UNIQUE Constraint.

5. SQL CHECK Constraint

6. SQL DEFAULT Constraint

7. SQL INDEX Constraint. Next Topic: SQL PRIMARY KEY Constraint with example. Previous Topic: SQL TRUNCATE Table with example.
