reference the CREATE TABLE statement in the SQL manual for the 2 possible syntaxes -- one of which is very similar to the alter table add constraint syntax
also look into options such as DISABLED
also be ready for some strong opinions on whether you should include the constraints in the CREATE TABLE

| Hi All,
|
| I have few tables (abc, def) with with a specific structure and I need
| to add constratint to the table I do it with
|
| alter table abc
| add constraint abc_columnname_fk
| foreign key (columnname) references dec(columnname);
|
| But my question is how to create a table with this constraint embedded
| in the create table statement itself ? same, as in
|
| CREATE TABLE abc
| (columna PRIMARY KEY,
| Column2 CHAR(50) ???????????? );
|
| Can I embed the constraint during creation of the table only ?
|
| Can somebody please throw light or solution
|
| I am stuck with this problem.
|
| Thanks in advance,,
