I've been looking through that. I can see the documentation listing several methods that accomplish things as comparing the type to another instance of the type. Very useful.

What I cannot find in the documentation, is that if you have a type with a single attribute (cause this is what you said could perhaps accomplish the same as an InterBase DOMAIN), AND always apply a check to values in columns based on that type.

If you can, then please show an example.

See above.
