The following documentation comment has been logged on the website:
Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/18/datatype-numeric.html
Description:
In the page https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/datatype-numeric.html it
is said that NUMERIC(2, -3) will round values to the nearest thousand and
can store values between -99000 and 99000. However, the range of values that
are allowed are -99499 to 99499 inclusive.

test=> CREATE TABLE t (n NUMERIC(2, -3));
CREATE TABLE
test=> INSERT INTO t VALUES (99499);
INSERT 0 1
test=> TABLE t;
n
-------
99000
(1 row)
It will *store* 99000, even if you *insert* 99499.
I'd say that the documentation is correct.
