Dear all...
I have created a check constraint without giving it a name..
now I have a check named "$25" in my table that I need to drop or
modify!!!
How can I do???
with names is simple

alter table tablename drop constraint constraintname;

but without name??   :-)

many thanks...

Ivan

CREATE TABLE cons_test (
    u   integer     CHECK (u > 10)
);

SELECT constraint_name
  FROM information_schema.constraint_column_usage
 WHERE table_name = 'cons_test' AND
       column_name = 'u';

See infoschema-constraint-column-usage.html in the manual for further
assistance.


Regards.

Dear Volkan,
thank you for your answer...
I have tried to verify the table
information_schema.constraint_column_usage, but, and I was really
surprised, I have found nothing inside it.. 
it seems there are not checks!!!
I have also seen the manual page you suggested but I can't understand
why I don't have checks in this table... 

but I'm sure I have checks in my table.. because they works!!!!!
does this problem can be related to the fact that I have created the
checks only after that I have created the table...
I have used this syntacs:
alter table tablename add check (......)

however it sounds strange!!!!!
thanks!!!
Ivan

I tried to produce same strange behaviour with no luck:

test=# CREATE TABLE cons_test (u int);
CREATE TABLE

test=# ALTER TABLE cons_test
test-# ADD CONSTRAINT forget_my_name CHECK (u > 10);
ALTER TABLE

test=# SELECT constraint_name
test-#  FROM information_schema.constraint_column_usage
test-# WHERE table_name = 'cons_test' AND
test-#       column_name = 'u';
 constraint_name 
-----------------
 forget_my_name
(1 row)

Also, you cannot see that constraint listed in the \d table_name output,
ain't? Maybe you should try a hardcoded search over consrc column of
pg_catalog.pg_constraint table.


Regards.

Maybe, the information-schema can be different in different versions.

Can you see the name with \d <table> within psql?

An example:

test=# create table bla (id int check (id between 1 and 4));
CREATE TABLE
test=# \d bla
      Table "public.bla"
 Column |  Type   | Modifiers
--------+---------+-----------
 id     | integer |
Check constraints:
    "bla_id_check" CHECK (id >= 1 AND id <= 4)

test=# alter table bla drop CONSTRAINT bla_id_check;
ALTER TABLE
test=# \d bla
      Table "public.bla"
 Column |  Type   | Modifiers
--------+---------+-----------
 id     | integer |



HTH, Andreas
