The following documentation comment has been logged on the website:

Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/16/sql-alterdomain.html
Description:

(apologies, I managed to send this too soon, just now, somehow)

The example for ALTER DOMAIN shows:

ALTER DOMAIN zipcode ADD CONSTRAINT zipchk CHECK (char_length(VALUE) = 5);

...yet the syntax suggests no CONSTRAINT-keyword (I'm guessing?) should be
used:

ALTER DOMAIN name ADD domain_constraint [ NOT VALID ]

When it should, I think?

Bah, scratch that, sorry again. It's because "CONSTRAINT" is implied by the
reference to CREATE DOMAIN, isn't it?
Sorry.

Yes, we require the reader to go to the create domain page to read the
“domain_constraint” portion of the syntax.
