You may change (or extend) the CHECK condition using regexp:

SELECT 59.2::TEXT ~ '^[0-9]+\.[0-9]{2}$';
?column?
----------
f

SELECT 59.24::TEXT ~ '^[0-9]+\.[0-9]{2}$';
?column?
----------
t

SELECT 59.26::TEXT ~ '^[0-9]+\.[0-9]{2}$';
?column?
----------
t

SELECT 59.2678::TEXT ~ '^[0-9]+\.[0-9]{2}$';
?column?
----------
f

Of course you can change the part left of the dot to also be limited to 2 digits.

Charles
