CHECK constraints enforce domain integrity by limiting the values that are accepted by one or more columns.

SQL CHECK constraints enforce domain integrity by limiting the values that are accepted by one or more columns.

You can create a CHECK constraint with any logical (Boolean) expression that returns TRUE or FALSE based on the logical operators. For example, the range of values for a salary column can be limited by creating a CHECK constraint that allows for only data that ranges from $15,000 through $100,000. This prevents salaries from being entered beyond the regular salary range. The logical expression would be the following: salary >= 15000 AND salary <= 100000.
