Max number of CHECK constraints on a column in Oracle9i?

Question

What is the maximum number of CHECK constraints that can be defined on a column when creating a table in Oracle 9i database?
Also could some one tell me what are the limitations on CHECK constraints?

Answer 1

Well, in Oracle 8.1.7 documentaion it is stated that number of constraints is also unlimited. I haven't such a database now to test but here is a little test for Oracle 9iR2
SQL> drop table test;
Table dropped.
SQL> create table test (a number
  2   check (a > 1)
  3   check (a > 2)
  4   check (a > 3)
  5   check (a > 4)
  6   check (a > 5)
  7   check (a > 6)
  8   check (a > 7)
  9   check (a > 8)
10   check (a > 9)
11   check (a > 10)
12   check (a > 11)
13   check (a > 12)
14   check (a > 13)
15   check (a > 14)
16   check (a > 15)
17   check (a > 16)
18   check (a > 17)
19   check (a > 18)
20   check (a > 19)
21   check (a > 20)
22  )
23  /
