How will you add a constraint on above DB2 table TAB1 for ages between 3 to 16 years?
Constraints are used to restrict the data inserted at a particular column. Constraints can be used in such a way that a value can only be inserted if it satisfies the condition given in constraints. We can give the below parameter during CREATE TABLE command to add a constraint.
CREATE TABLE DBSET1.TAB1
(STUDENT_ID CHAR(10) NOT NULL,
ENROLLMENT_ID CHAR(20) NOT NULL,
NAME VARCHAR(50),
AGE SMALLINT CONSTRAINT NUMBER CHECK
(AGE >=3 AND AGE <=16)
PRIMARY KEY (STUDENT_ID));
The CONSTRAINT NUMBER CHECK reserved words can be followed by the permissible range that a column can have. It can be accompanied by logical operators like AND, NOT, OR to adjust the value range.
