Hmmm ... what I ended up committing was code that special-cased the
common cases where you only have one or the other, ie
/* * We don't worry about singular versus plural here, since the English * rules for that don't translate very
well. But we can at least avoid * the case of zero items. */ if (notherbackends > 0 && npreparedxacts > 0)
errdetail("There are %d other session(s) and %d prepared transaction(s) using the database.",
notherbackends,npreparedxacts); else if (notherbackends > 0) errdetail("There are %d other session(s) using the
database.", notherbackends); else errdetail("There are %d prepared transaction(s) using the
database.", npreparedxacts);
Your proposal seems fine for the first case but a bit stilted for the
other two. Or maybe that's just me.
Of course, we don't *have* to do it as above at all, if "0 prepared
transactions" doesn't bother people.
Ideas anybody?
