Check Box Validation

Only trigger can do it.

Can you explain a bit more? What are you trying to do?

Hey, create a unique text field and using Workflow field update, put the value as "Checked" when criteria (Checkbox__c && ISCHANGED(Checkbox__c)) is passed. Since unique fields will not allow duplicate values, you cannot check the checkbox again in other records.

 

Let me know if it helps.

I have a checkbox (active) in a custom object. 

if there is at least 1 record in the database with active ticked, I want to stop saving records with active ticked

After creating unique field, WFR rule just change that record's value to unchecked and save, then select it and save. Now on, you will not be allowed to create/update other records with checkbox selected. Yes, I agree you can do it with triggers. But you will have other issues like test classes,code coverage, moving to production etc. I am a big fan of trigger.
