Description (last modified by Mads Jensen)

A lot of work was done to add the check constraint to Django 2.2. On top of such a constraint, PostgreSQL has an exclusion constraint that works well on ranges, regardless if they're represented using two fields, or a single field using a range-type. Essentially, this constraint enforces a unique constraint for ranges, with a possibility for an additional check.

https://github.com/tbicr/django-pg-zero-downtime-migrations/ uses ALTER TABLE %(table)s VALIDATE CONSTRAINT to restrict how long the table is locked for writing. I was contemplating to touch this subject in the patch.

Patch needs improvement: unset

I believe the PR is now in a state where it merits a review. I'm not sure if the tests should also include the model with two fields, or if it's sufficient that it's discussed in the documentation.
