Hello

this patch adds possibility to set additional options (SQLSTATE,
DETAIL, DETAIL_LOG and HINT) for RAISE statement,

Proposal: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2008-04/msg00919.php

I changed keyword from WITH to USING, because I don't would to create
new keyword

RAISE level 'format' [, expression [, ...]] [ USING ( option =
expression [, ... ] ) ];

RAISE EXCEPTION 'Nonexistent ID --> %', user_id
  USING (hint = 'Please, check your user id');

Regards
Pavel Stehule

I looked this over briefly.  A couple of comments:

* Raising errors via hard-coded SQLSTATEs seems pretty unfriendly,
at least for cases where we are reporting built-in errors.  Wouldn't
it be better to be able to raise errors using the same SQLSTATE names
that are recognized in EXCEPTION clauses?

* If we are going to let people throw random SQLSTATEs, there had better
be a way to name those same SQLSTATEs in EXCEPTION.

* I don't really like exposing DETAIL_LOG in this.  That was a spur of
the moment addition and we might take it out again; I think it's way
premature to set it in stone by exposing it as a plpgsql feature.

* Please avoid using errstart() directly.  This is unwarranted intimacy
with elog.h's implementation and I also think it will have unpleasant
behavior if an error occurs while evaluating the RAISE arguments.
(In fact, I think a user could easily force a backend PANIC that way.)
The approved way to deal with ereport options that might not be there
is like this:

    ereport(ERROR,
            ( ...,
             have_sqlstate ? errcode(...) : 0,
              ...

That is, you should evaluate all the options into local variables
and then do one normal ereport call.

* // comments are against our coding conventions.

There are new attribut CONDITION - all defined condition are possible
without duplicit names and category conditions.

example:
RAISE NOTICE 'custom unique violation' USING (CONDITION = 'unique_violation');

we can trap EXCEPTION defined via SQLSTATE now:

EXCEPTION
   WHEN SQLSTATE 22001 THEN ...

Hmm ... this patch seems to have been generated against something
significantly different from HEAD ... was that intentional?

I am sent two less dependend patch (both modify same files): COPY and
RAISE USING. I am sorry, but I can't to know what commiters will be
apply first. Problem is mainly in regress files because I append
regress test on end of files. But boths are really generated from
current HEAD.

Applied with syntax revisions as per pghackers discussion.

I made a couple of other changes too: I took out the restriction against
throwing codes that are category codes, and instead just documented that
that might be a bad idea.  I don't see a reason to prohibit that if
people really want to do it.  Also, for the few condition names that are
duplicated in plerrcodes.h, I just made it throw the first sqlstate it
finds, rather than complaining.  This will work, in the sense that you
can trap the error using the same condition name, and I don't think it's
really important to make the user think about this.

I didn't see a reason to allow it - but I don't see it important

Also, for the few condition names that are

I am afraid so this can be surprise for some people - but again it's
not necessary  solve it now.
