I have a table of locations and distances. The distance between A and B is the same as the distance between B and A. Is it possible to add a unique constraint to a table such that the columns when Trying to insert the combination 'B and A' fails if 'A and B' have already been inserted
我有一张位置和距离表。 A和B之间的距离与B和A之间的距离相同。是否可以向表中添加唯一约束,以便在尝试插入组合'B和A'时的列失败,如果'A和B'已插入
INSERT INTO locTbl VALUES ('A', B', 100.0); //Good to insert
loc1 | loc2 | dist
-----+------+-----
A B 100.0
INSERT INTO locTable VALUES('B','A',100.0); //Produce an error

A CHECK constraint must not contain a subquery, so you have to do this with a trigger:
CHECK约束不能包含子查询,因此必须使用触发器执行此操作:
CREATE TRIGGER locTbl_loc12_unique
BEFORE INSERT ON locTbl
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
SELECT RAISE(FAIL, "loc2/loc1 already exists")
FROM locTbl
WHERE loc1 = NEW.loc2
AND loc2 = NEW.loc1;
END;

Just require loc1<=loc2 (or >=)
只需要loc1 <= loc2(或> =)
create table locTbl (
loc1 text,
loc2 text,
dist integer,
constraint c check(loc1<=loc2)
);
