Create table with constraint based on another column












0















Say a database has the following tables:




  • movie(id, title, rent_period)

  • customer(id, name)


I would like to create the following table:



CREATE TABLE rental{
movie_id int,
customer_id int,
rent_date date,
return_date date,
FOREIGN KEY (movie_id) REFERENCES movie(id),
FOREIGN KEY (customer_id) REFERENCES customer(id)
PRIMARY KEY rental_pk (movie_id, customer_id)
}


Can I make make the return_date field be populated automatically as rental(rent_date) + movie(rent_period)?
