BTW, about error handling, shouldn't it honor ON_ERROR_STOP ?
With the patch when trying this:
=> set ON_ERROR_STOP on => select * from (values ('select 1/0', 'select 1/0')) AS n \gexec
it produces two errors: ERROR: division by zero ERROR: division by zero
I'd rather have the execution stop immediately after the first error, like it's the case with successive queries entered normally via the query buffer:
=> \set ON_ERROR_STOP on => select 1/0; select 1/0; ERROR: division by zero
as opposed to:
=> \set ON_ERROR_STOP off => select 1/0; select 1/0; ERROR: division by zero ERROR: division by zero
Yes, I would like it to honor ON_ERROR_STOP. I'll look into that.
