Thread: BUG #4536: raise doesn't add end of line

The following bug has been logged online:

Bug reference:      4536
Logged by:
Email address:      sabin.coanda@deuromedia.ro
PostgreSQL version: 8.3.5
Operating system:   Windows XP
Description:        raise doesn't add end of line
Details:

Many RAISE statements in a function no more
adds end of line (CR/LF) on every message, even if it contains chr(10)
explicitely. Just when the function ends, or inserting chr(10) in the middle
of the message a CR/LF is added in the log.

For instance consider the function:

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION r()
  RETURNS void AS
$BODY$begin
raise notice 'Break the 1st%line...', chr(10);
raise notice 'eol on 2nd line...%', chr(10);
raise notice '3rd line';
raise notice '4th line';
end; $BODY$
  LANGUAGE 'plpgsql' VOLATILE
  COST 100;
ALTER FUNCTION r() OWNER TO postgres;

Run it:
    SELECT r()

And you get:

Run it:
    SELECT r()

And you get:

NOTICE:  Break the 1st
line...NOTICE:  eol on 2nd line...NOTICE:  3rd line

It works for me, both on 8.3 and current 8.4devel:

alvherre=# select r();
NOTICE:  Break the 1st
line...
NOTICE:  eol on 2nd line...

NOTICE:  3rd line
NOTICE:  4th line
 r
---

How are you running the query?

You are right. No error occurs on command line.

I have "PostgreSQL 8.3.5, compiled by Visual C++ build 1400", installed on
Windows XP, but I run it from pgAdmin query window, and I read the log
there.

It seems to be a pgAdmin error, not postgres, because in command line it
runs right.

Sorry, and thanks
