Sqlite NULL和唯一？

我注意到我可以在具有UNIQUE约束的列中具有NULL值：UNIQUE(col)

在某些情况下会产生任何问题吗？

虽然以下内容涉及多个空值,但它不涉及与此类设计相关的任何“问题”,而不是可能的数据库/ sql可移植性 – 因此它应该不被认为是答案,仅供参考.

这实际上在sqlite常见问题解答中.它是一种设计选择 – sqlite(与sql Server不同)选择多个NULL值不计入索引中的唯一性.

The SQL standard requires that a UNIQUE constraint be enforced even if one or more of the columns in the constraint are NULL,but SQLite does not do this. Isn’t that a bug?

Perhaps you are referring to the following statement from sql92:

• A unique constraint is satisfied if and only if no two rows in a table have the same non-null values in the unique columns.

That statement is ambiguous,having at least two possible interpretations:

1. A unique constraint is satisfied if and only if no two rows in a table have the same values and have non-null values in the unique columns.

2. A unique constraint is satisfied if and only if no two rows in a table have the same values in the subset of unique columns that are not null.

sqlite follows interpretation (1),as does Postgresql,MysqL,Oracle,and Firebird. It is true that Informix and Microsoft sql Server use interpretation (2),however we the sqlite developers hold that interpretation (1) is the most natural reading of the requirement and we also want to maximize compatibility with other sql database engines,and most other database engines also go with (1),so that is what sqlite does.
