## 35.9. `check_constraints` #

The view `check_constraints` contains all check constraints, either defined on a table or on a domain, that are owned by a currently enabled role. (The owner of the table or domain is the owner of the constraint.)

The SQL standard considers not-null constraints to be check constraints with a `CHECK (`column_name` IS NOT NULL)` expression. So not-null constraints are also included here and don't have a separate view.
