| Goal | Find base tables and foreign tables where based on a check constraint, a key constraint, and a NOT NULL constraint can be at most one row. Make sure that this is the real intent behind the constraint, not a mistake. Find tables where a check constraint permits only one possible value in a column, the column has NOT NULL constraint, and constitutes a key, i.e., has the PRIMARY KEY or UNIQUE constraint. |
