Thread: BUG #6377: some notice on the manual page
The following bug has been logged on the website: Bug reference: 6377 Logged by: Igor Email address: moiseev.igor@gmail.com PostgreSQL version: 8.4.10 Operating system: any Description:=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20 On the page of "Appendix A. PostgreSQL Error Codes" (http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/interactive/errcodes-appendix.html) there is no info about the special condition name "OTHERS" which matches every error type except QUERY_CANCELED The info about the OTHERS could only be found in the subsection "38.6.5. Trapping Errors" (http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/interactive/plpgsql-control-structures.= html) It seems reasonable at least to notice the OTHERS condition in Appendix A. Would save a lot of time! Thanks.

That seems a bit out of place to me, because that chapter is not really about PL/pgsql, and OTHERS is not an exception name, just a PL/pgsql construct. Maybe we could work a cross-reference into the sentence that mentions PL/plgsql, though. --=20 Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company
OK, but at least some notes on the technique or special small section in the manual. I was able to extract this info from the manual using this query to google just by chance when I already lost any hope https://www.google.com/search?q=postgresql+match+every+error Thanks, I. -- View this message in context: http://postgresql.1045698.n5.nabble.com/BUG-6377-some-notice-on-the-manual-page-tp5119443p5133743.html Sent from the PostgreSQL - bugs mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
