This is not quite what I need. I need to create a constraint to allow
only -one- of
company<->association<->default(=true) value
but any number of
company<->association<->default(=false) values

I've tried many different ALTER TABLE ... CREATE CONSTRAINT variations,
all without success.

Anyone know how?

Thanks
Ron
