I did not get any response to this question on
general so I am forwarding it to hackers.
Thanks,

Subject: [GENERAL] Domains and function
Mail-Followup-To: pgsql-general@postgresql.org
User-Agent: Mutt/1.3.22.1i
Precedence: bulk
I can create a function with a domain and
define it to return a domain.
The parameter is checked to see if it qualifies
in the constraint of the domain, however, the
return value is not.
Is this a bug? Or is the author of the function
responsible for re-inforcing the constraint
at runtime?
This is the test case in 7.4:
=# create domain one2hundred AS integer
-# DEFAULT '1' CONSTRAINT email_domain check( VALUE > 0 AND VALUE <=100 );
CREATE DOMAIN
=#
=# create function gb52_add( one2hundred )
-# returns one2hundred as
-# '
'# BEGIN
'# RETURN $1 + 10;
'# END;
'# ' language 'plpgsql';
CREATE FUNCTION
=#
=# select gb52_add( 80);gb52_add
---------- 90
(1 row)
=# select gb52_add( 100);gb52_add
---------- 110
(1 row)
=# select gb52_add( 90);gb52_add
---------- 100
(1 row)
=# select gb52_add( 91);gb52_add
---------- 101
(1 row)
=# select gb52_add( 191);
ERROR: value for domain one2hundred violates check constraint "email_domain"
