How to create an enum type?
Hello! I want to create a custom data type so that there are values from 10 to 200. How can this be implemented?
Esteemed to dock, nothing is clear
I write so: create type name as range (). What should be passed as input?

Well, it depends on what exactly you want to do.
PostgreSQL allows you to make your own data type implementation. Which will behave as you want - but you have to develop all this logic yourself in C. Therefore, create type has quite voluminous documentation.
range types are ranges. For example, the date of booking a hotel room. Booking table, one field with tsrange date range and exclude constraint - that's it, the database will check that the booking dates do not overlap.
enums - this is usually meant by enum. But it doesn't work for your task. enum is a fixed set of strings.
something similar to regular data types, but with limitations - you wanted to find not create type, but create domain:
That's it, now in tables you can use the data type smallint_between_10and200, in which, nevertheless, it will be impossible to write something not from the range of 10..200.
