The standard calls this error variable SQLSTATE 
(look up in ESQL standard)

first 2 chars are class next 3 are subclass

"00000"  is e.g. Success 
"02000"  is Data not found
"U0xxx" user defined routine error xxx is user defined

> /* somewhere... */

PGELOG(ERROR, PGSQLSTATE_TYPE, ("type %s cannot be created because it already exists", 
...))

put varargs into parentheses to avoid need for ... macros see Tom's proposal

I also agree, that we can group different text messages into the same SQLSTATE,
if it seems appropriate for the client to handle them alike.
