Tom would know more about the distinction. elog is deprecated except for debugging or "can't-happen" messages. Anything user-facing ought to be reported with ereport. In this case elog might be okay --- it's not clear to me from this snippet whether the condition is one a user would be likely to see. There's plenty of detail about all this in chapter 45 of the docs: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.4/static/source.html and I think most of Peter's comments trace directly to items in the message style guide there. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
