# Manipulating Constraints
|
2020-07-14 21:02:41 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Constraints could be added or deleted using following syntax:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
``` sql
|
2024-06-25 14:41:12 +00:00
|
|
|
ALTER TABLE [db].name [ON CLUSTER cluster] ADD CONSTRAINT [IF NOT EXISTS] constraint_name CHECK expression;
|
|
|
|
|
ALTER TABLE [db].name [ON CLUSTER cluster] DROP CONSTRAINT [IF EXISTS] constraint_name;
|
2020-07-14 21:02:41 +00:00
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
See more on [constraints](../../../sql-reference/statements/create/table.md#constraints).

|
Queries will add or remove metadata about constraints from table, so they are processed immediately.

Constraint check **will not be executed** on existing data if it was added.
