如何创建一个接受NULL的DOMAIN？

Question

我似乎无法弄清楚如何让custom domain接受NULL值。请注意，对于妈和笑声我已经尝试了很多不同的方法：

DROP SCHEMA census CASCADE; 
CREATE SCHEMA census; 
-- FIRST FOUR METHODS: NULL before CHECK, in CHECK, and NULL after CHECK 
CREATE DOMAIN census.sex AS text NULL CHECK (VALUE IN ('M', 'F', 'NULL') OR VALUE IS NULL) NULL; 
CREATE TABLE census.names (
    name  text 
    , freq  int 
    , cumfreq float 
    , rank  float 
    , is_last bool 
    , sex  census.sex NULL -- fourth way 
    , PRIMARY KEY (is_last, sex, name) 
); 

但是，仍然没有运气...

# \d census.names; 
      Table "census.names" 
Column |  Type  | Modifiers 
---------+------------------+----------- 
name | text    | not null 
freq | integer   | 
cumfreq | double precision | 
rank | double precision | 
is_last | boolean   | not null 
sex  | census.sex  | not null 
Indexes: 
    "names_pkey" PRIMARY KEY, btree (is_last, sex, name) 

更有趣的是，the docs说

NULL

该域的值允许为空。这是默认设置。

本节仅用于与非标准SQL 数据库的兼容性。新应用中不鼓励使用它。

没有条款，它仍然说NOT NULL。

工程（第9.1）：

 -- Domain with only values 1 ... 9 allowed, 
     -- used for both the {x,y,z} coordinates and the cell values. 
CREATE DOMAIN one_nine 
     AS INTEGER 
     CHECK (value >= 1 AND value <= 9) 
     ; 

CREATE DOMAIN one_nine_notnull 
     AS INTEGER NOT NULL 
     CHECK (value >= 1 AND value <= 9) 
     ; 

CREATE TABLE all_numbers 
     (val one_nine_notnull PRIMARY KEY 
     ); 
INSERT INTO all_numbers(val) 
SELECT nn FROM generate_series(1,9) AS nn; 

     -- Table containing exactly one sudoku puzzle. 
     -- The zzz coordinate (the "box number") is formally redundant 
     -- (since it is functionally dependant on {xxx,yyy}) 
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS sudoku3 CASCADE; 
CREATE TABLE sudoku3 
     (yyy one_nine_notnull 
     , xxx one_nine_notnull 
     , zzz one_nine_notnull 
     , val one_nine 
     ); 
INSERT INTO sudoku3 (yyy,xxx,zzz,val) VALUES (NULL, 3, 1, 4); 
INSERT INTO sudoku3 (yyy,xxx,zzz,val) VALUES (1, 3, 1, 14); 

     -- Conveniance view with 3-width horizontal and vertical bands 
CREATE VIEW v_sudoku AS (
     SELECT yyy,xxx,zzz 
     , val 
     , (xxx+2)/ 3 as x3 
     , (yyy+2)/ 3 as y3 
     FROM sudoku3 
     ) 
     ; 

     -- First constraint: (x,y) is unique 
ALTER TABLE sudoku3 ADD PRIMARY KEY (xxx,yyy); 

     -- Three constraints for unique values for {rows,columns,boxes} 
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX sudoku_xv ON sudoku3 (xxx,val); 
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX sudoku_yv ON sudoku3 (yyy,val); 
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX sudoku_zv ON sudoku3 (zzz,val);
