Hallo, Using libpqexec many error details can retrieved: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/interactive/libpq-exec.html (such as PG_DIAG_SEVERITY, PG_DIAG_MESSAGE_HINT, PG_DIAG_STATEMENT_POSITION.. as on the site above) eg: http://pgsql.privatepaste.com/656698b511 but when u try to trap/catch all these errors, this doesnt seem possible from withing plpgsql, where we only have SQLSTATE and SQLERRM eg. http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/interactive/plpgsql-control-structures.html http://pgsql.privatepaste.com/3b71488e8a So i think it would be interesting to be able to access the other error details as given by libpg-exec as well. Eg adding SEVERITY, MESSAGE_HINT, STATEMENT_POSITION, .. where we now only have SQLSTATE and SQLERRM mvg, Wim -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
