SELECT pg_get_constraintdef(oid) FROM pg_constraint WHERE conname =
'sss_a_not_null';
returns
" NOT NULL a"
I think just outputting "NOT NULL" is ok for the domain, given the
table constraint is "NOT NULL" + table column, per above example.
yech, we already have a "Nullable" column, so we don't need to display
NOT NULL constraints.
