# 2241 NULL Column Values Are Causing Check Constraints to Fail

The check constraint expression (Sex >= 'F' AND Sex <= 'M') evaluates to UNKNOWN for null values in the Sex column, yet ElevateDB will still raise a constraint exception. It seems that the current implementation of the CHECK constraint in ElevateDB is incorrect.


Comments Comments
The ANSI/ISO standard dictates that check constraints only be considered failed if the check constraint expression is False, not True or Unknown.

Fixed Problem on 2/28/2007 in version 1.01 build 1
