That seems like something independently useful.

If we're up for that the other thing I'd add is having raise ignore anything supplied by USING that's NULL, instead of treating it as an error. That would make it very easy to create a wrapper function that exposes the full capabilities of RAISE.


I don't think so ignoring NULL in RAISE statement is good idea (it is not safe). We can replace NULL by some string (like "NULL") by default. I am thinking about other possibilities.

1. some RAISE statement flag - but there was strong disagreement when I did it last time
2. some plpgsql GUC variables like plpgsq.raise_ignore_null
3. accept a function from this patch

Now, I am thinking so @3 is good option. It can be really useful as last rescue for other PL without possibility to raise rich PostgreSQL exception - currently PLPythonu, partially PLPerl (where are more issues), probably in others.

Regards

Pavel
