SQL Server syntax for the check constraint:

create table numbers (
    number int not null
        check(number >= 1234 and number <= 4523),
    ...
)

create table numbers (
    number int not null,
    check(number >= 1234 and number <= 4523),
    ...
)

create table numbers (
    number int not null,
    constraint number_range_check
        check(number >= 1234 and number <= 4523),
    ...
)
