Thread: Why no exprs in format string to RAISE

Hi,

is there a non-implementation reason as to why there are no expressions
allowed in the arguments to the format string to RAISE, or is that just
not implemented yet?

Thanks.

Just not done yet AFAIK. It would require some changes to the parser for  plpgsql, but nothing too extreme. Might make

someone learning more about PG's code.
