Right, and I agree that it's very useful for some fields (if you can actually have a reasonable set of guarantees about where each becomes available). I just don't think that it's worth including fields like routine_name within ErrorData, and in fact it may be harmful to do so. -- Peter Geoghegan http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Training and Services -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
