Is it possible to have unique together constraint on a SET of columns in PostgreSQL?


PostgreSQL - insert/update violates foreign key constraintsPossible to have nested inserts in Postgres 8.4?postgresql multi column unique or check constraintHow to ensure a trigger is fired after variable number of inserts?Is it possible to have two copies of a table clustered in different arrangements seamlessly?#deleted in all fields using ODBC driver between PostgreSQL and Access 2013Indexing a string by a subset of its characters (i.e.: the Kanji ones)foreign key violation within trigger on insert of 'new' id in other table as foreign keypostgres PITR from WAL without changespostgres: Upgraded RDS Postgres from 9.4 - 9.6, id fields went from SERIAL to INT

What I want to achieve is the following:



CREATE TABLE foo (
bar1 int,
bar2 int,
type varchar(16),
FOREIGN KEY bar1 REFERENCES bar(id),
FOREIGN KEY bar2 REFERENCES bar(id)
);

ALTER TABLE foo ADD CONSTRAINT unique_link (bar1, bar2);

INSERT INTO foo (bar1, bar2, type) VALUES (1, 2, 'simple link')
--next line should fail, as {2, 1} as a set is already present, just in a different order
INSERT INTO foo (bar1, bar2, type) VALUES (2, 1, 'simple link')


Is it possible in any way? Maybe with some triggers maybe, or some auto calculated hashes of the bar* columns? Thanks for the help!
