testing=# CREATE TABLE test (
    id SERIAL,
    goose NUMERIC(4,1),
    CHECK (goose >= 100 OR goose <= -100)
    );
CREATE TABLE
testing=# INSERT INTO test (goose) VALUES (300.2);
INSERT 0 1
testing=# INSERT INTO test (goose) VALUES (30.2);
ERROR:  new row for relation "test" violates check constraint "test_goose_check"
DETAIL:  Failing row contains (2, 30.2).
testing=# INSERT INTO test (goose) VALUES (-300.2);
INSERT 0 1
testing=# INSERT INTO test (goose) VALUES (-30.2);
ERROR:  new row for relation "test" violates check constraint "test_goose_check"
DETAIL:  Failing row contains (4, -30.2).
