When encountering the error 23514: Check Violation in PostgreSQL, follow these steps immediately to investigate and potentially resolve the issue:
SELECT conname, pggetconstraintdef(c.oid)
FROM pgconstraint c
JOIN pgnamespace n ON n.oid = c.connamespace
WHERE contype = 'c' AND conname = 'yourconstraintname_here';
your_constraint_name_here with the name of the constraint mentioned in the error message.INSERT or UPDATE command that failed due to the constraint violation.SELECT statement to inspect existing data if necessary.ALTER TABLE your_table_name_here DROP CONSTRAINT your_constraint_name_here;
ALTER TABLE your_table_name_here ADD CONSTRAINT your_constraint_name_here CHECK (your_condition_here);
your_table_name_here, your_constraint_name_here, and your_condition_here with the actual table name, constraint name, and check condition. Use this step with caution and ensure to re-enable the constraint to maintain data integrity.Note: Each step is critical for diagnosing and resolving the check violation error. Skipping steps may result in incorrect data adjustments or further errors.
