What is the CHECK constraint in SQL Server?

Business rule validation can be applied to a table by using CHECK constraint. CHECK constraint must be specified as a logical expression that evaluates either to TRUE or FALSE.
A CHECK constraint takes longer to execute as compared to NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY, FOREIGN KEY or UNIQUE constraints. Thus CHECK constraint must be avoided if the constraint can de defined using NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY, FOREIGN KEY constraints.

What a great web log. I spend hours on the net reading blogs, about tons of various subjects. I have to first of all give praise to whoever created your theme and second of all to you for writing what i can only describe as an fabulous article. I honestly believe there is a skill to writing articles that only very few posses and honestly you got it. The combining of demonstrative and upper-class content is by all odds super rare with the astronomic amount of blogs on the cyberspace.
