Hi,

when I do

 select 1.0e+1001::numeric;

I get

invalid input syntax for type numeric: "1.0e+1001"

But

select 1.0e+1000::numeric;

seems to be valid.

Postgresql documentation tells me that numeric data type has an upper
limit of 131072 digits before decimal point.

Am I missing something ?


Guessing here but I think numeric input requires single quotes around the value.
