The ``CheckConstraint`` class creates database check constraints. They are
|
|
added in the model :attr:`Meta.constraints
|
|
<django.db.models.Options.constraints>` option. This document
|
|
explains the API references of :class:`CheckConstraint`.
|
|
|
|
.. admonition:: Referencing built-in constraints
|
|
|
|
Constraints are defined in ``django.db.models.constraints``, but for
|
|
convenience they're imported into :mod:`django.db.models`. The standard
|
|
convention is to use ``from django.db import models`` and refer to the
|
|
constraints as ``models.CheckConstraint``.

|
``CheckConstraint`` options
|
|
===========================
|
|
|
|
.. class:: CheckConstraint(*, check, name)
|
|
|
|
Creates a check constraint in the database.
|
|
|
|
``check``
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
.. attribute:: CheckConstraint.check
|
|
|
|
A :class:`Q` object that specifies the check you want the constraint to
|
|
enforce.
|
|
|
|
For example ``CheckConstraint(check=Q(age__gte=18), name='age_gte_18')``
|
|
ensures the age field is never less than 18.
|
|
|
|
``name``
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
.. attribute:: CheckConstraint.name
|
|
|
|
The name of the constraint.
