Hi, I need to define a Unique index on 3 non-PK fields (composite key) on my table in PostgreSQL 8.0.3. The problem is, if any of those 3 fields is Null, PostgreSQL allows duplicate rows to be inserted. While searching through archives, I found more information about this. But I need to know how can I make PostgreSQL throw error on attempt to insert second record having same 3 field values, one of them being Null. ------------------------------------------------ myid | field1 | field2 | field3 | description PK | <--- Unique Index ---> | ------------------------------------------------ 100 | ABC | XYZ | <null> | Record 1 -> This is ok. 101 | ABC | XYZ | <null> | Record 2 -> * This should error! ------------------------------------------------ Fields {field1, field2, field3} have unique index on them and "myid" is the primary key of my table. Oracle 9i throws exception in such case, but PostgreSQL does not. Thanks, - Hrishi Joshi.
