Answer / surya

It is used to avoid invalid and inconsistence data into the
data base table.
For example if you specify like this
sal int Check(sal>=1000)
and trying to insert value below 1000 in the sal

Answer / vijay kumar jakkam

1. A CHECK constraint evaluates to TRUE when the resulting value of the CHECK constraint expression is unknown, e.g. when the expression contains NULL.

Example: A CHECK constraint that enforces the value of a particular column to be >0 evaluates to TRUE if NULL passed while inserting.
2. CHECK Constraints are not evaluated for delete statements.
