>>Why I am asking is because I am converting a SQL Server database to PostgreSQL by scripting the SQL Server database out and then adjusting the script to PostgreSQL syntax and it doesn't like that CHECK CONSTRAINT command. As this is a empty database I am creating I guess I don't need to actually check that the constraint is valid.
