Yes, I'm prepared, but the problem is how can I in advance know which
format the message is, as I'm expecing a 3 version and comes a 2 version
error message?
Uhmmmm, I could see in the following line in libpq how it does it:
if (beresp == 'E' && (msgLength < 8 || msgLength > 30000))
So this is how it checks ahead, if the value is very large, the
msgLength would be bigger than 30000 and this would mean a string error
and so the 2.0 version error message. I think I will get this approach too.
Thanks Tom Lane.
