Hi,
Currently on error psql is printing Postgres' PQerrorMessage text, but
there's no guarantee these messages are constant between Postgres
versions and it's a pain when using psql for writing regression tests,
Prior
Disallow setting client_min_messages higher than ERROR.
a bad workaround was to discarded error, now you have to do something like
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION catch_error(
query text
)
RETURNS void AS $$
DECLARE
BEGIN
EXECUTE query;
EXCEPTION WHEN OTHERS THEN
RAISE 'Query failed: %', SQLSTATE;
END;
$$LANGUAGE plpgsql;
SELECT catch_error('foo');
What about a new \whatever for setting psql error to either PQerrorMessage or
PQresultErrorField(res, PG_DIAG_SQLSTATE) if available?
