Bug Description

Using the Postgres server to insert a too-large value produces a parse
exception rather than an overflow exception (error code 42000
vs. 55004).

Note that it is also unclear why this overflow should produce an
exception when integer overflows are truncated.

SQL:

  CREATE TABLE t (double_field double)
  INSERT INTO t VALUES (1.7976931348623157E309)

Result:

  org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: ERROR: [] Floating point exponent overflow: INSERT INTO t VALUES (1.7976931348623157E309)

Since it is not possible to store a Double literal of this value, this probably requires a more specific Exception from the parser itself.
