Description

Page: https://cockroachlabs.com/docs/v25.2/read-committed.html

## What is the reason for your feedback?

[ ] Missing the information I need

[ ] Too complicated

[ ] Out of date

[ ] Something is broken

[X] Other

## Additional details

The page uses nonstandard / unclear / non-specific terminology when it uses the word "check" when it should use the phrase "check constraint".

The page currently says

> Multi-column-family checks during updates are not supported under READ COMMITTED isolation. [#112488](https://github.com/cockroachdb/cockroach/issues/112488)

The page should say (my _emph. italics_)

> Multi-column-family _check constraints_ during updates are not supported under READ COMMITTED isolation. [#112488](https://github.com/cockroachdb/cockroach/issues/112488)

A "check" could mean many things in the database world, while "check constraint" has a well-known specific meaning that is precisely what is being discussed here.
