Constraint

1)I'm tring to create a new table but the creation fails because I
insert as a wrong sintax the keyword 'constraint'.

For example...
TABLE xxxx
field 1 cod
field 2 name
field 3 is_died (boolean)
field 4 died_date (date)
I would like to chek if is_died == true then died_date must not has
NULL value and viceversa if is_died == false then died_date must has
NULL value.

2) I would like manage constraint between two table but I have no idea
about it.
Can you help me? Do you have some example???

Thank in advance Estevan
