If the question is stupid, please tell me why.

postgresql - How to query check the constraint is valid or not - Stack

Postgres 14 | db<>fiddle (dbfiddle.uk)
<https://dbfiddle.uk/?rdbms=postgres_14&fiddle=8157a4c1823635980019f3bdb1fa6835>

CREATE TABLE emp (test_check int check ( test_check >1 and test_check
< 0 ));

alter table emp VALIDATE CONSTRAINT emp_test_check_check;```

select * from pg_constraint where conname = 'emp_test_check_check';

Even with the above mentioned step, does postgresql know above check
constraint condition always false.

another similar question:
can postgresql deduce from
CREATE TABLE emp1 (test_check int check ( test_check >1 and test_check > 10
));

to

CREATE TABLE emp1 (test_check int check ( test_check > 10 ));
