table constraint + INSERT

Hello

I use PostgreSQL in my program and I found a strange behavior, at least for me.

I have a simple table with constraint

CREATE TABLE "PART"
(
"P_PARTKEY" int4 NOT NULL,
"P_RETAILPRICE" numeric,
CONSTRAINT "PART_PRIMARY" PRIMARY KEY ("P_PARTKEY"),
CONSTRAINT "PART_check" CHECK ("P_RETAILPRICE" = (90000 + "P_PARTKEY" / 10 + "P_PARTKEY" / 100)
);

And I try to insert a row:
INSERT INTO "PART" ("P_PARTKEY","P_RETAILPRICE") VALUES(999,90109.89);

but it fails: ERROR: new row for relation "PART" violates check constraint "PART_check"

When you check using your head or pocket calculator then this INSERT seems to be correct. Is it some floating point mystery?
Is there some trick?
I'm using version 8.0.1 for Windows.

With thanks, Risto
