I think you need to stick with "ONLY". Using two different words is
just going to create confusion. You could fool around with where
exactly you put it on the line, but switching to a different word
seems like not a good idea.
Ok, maybe something like:
"achk" (ONLY) CHECK (false)
>>(Also, don't forget you need to hack pg_dump, too.)
Yeah, I have already hacked it a bit. This constraint now needs to be
spit out later as an ALTER command with ONLY attached to it
appropriately. Earlier all CHECK constraints were generally emitted as
part of the table definition itself.
