Thanks for all the comments/suggestions. As I mentioned, this is a 3rd-party software so what I can do to it is none or limited at best. I will try to filter the errorlog. Another option is to set the log_min_messages and log_min_error_statement to log.

You have to find and solve the underlying cause. I've seen lazy developers use a try insert/update if fail to implement a poor man's upsert... a feature much sought after and only now being seriously developed for Postgres. So... whether or not it's a bug is application dependent. Yes I'd question a 3rd party about this if the product wasn't developed in house and/or fully open to code review to have them tell me "we did it that way on purpose" though rather than just declaring it a nuisance.

You could also prevent the errors from being raised by using a trigger, but I don't like that idea very much at all. > > -- > Scott Ribe > scott_ribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > http://www.elevated-dev.com/ > https://www.linkedin.com/in/scottribe/ > (303) 722-0567 voice > > -- > Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list (pgsql-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) > To make changes to your subscription: > http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin > -- Jerry Sievers Postgres DBA/Development Consulting e: postgres.consulting@xxxxxxxxxxx p: 312.241.7800 -- Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list (pgsql-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin
