Re: Unique Key enforcement on a DATE Column for DAY (mm/dd/yy)

BN,

How about just adding a unique function based index that uses a TRUNC to take the date down to a "unique" day like so:

create table rg_test( d date );
Table created.

create unique index rg_idx on rg_test ( trunc(d) ); Index created.

insert into rg_test values( sysdate );
1 row created.

 insert into rg_test values( sysdate );
insert into rg_test values( sysdate )
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00001: unique constraint (U31125.RG_IDX) violated
