I'm not exactly following the point. The complaint seems to be that RAISE EXCEPTION 'ID must be less then 10'; doesn't send anything except the given primary message and a generic SQLSTATE. Well, duh: it's not supposed to. There are a bunch of options you can supply in RAISE to populate additional fields of the error report. For example, you could add USING SCHEMA = TG_TABLE_SCHEMA, TABLE = TG_TABLE_NAME if you wanted the report to name the table the trigger is attached to. So it seems to me this is lazy plpgsql programming, not a missing feature. It would only be a missing feature if you think plpgsql should try to auto-populate these fields; but I'd be against that because it would require too many assumptions about exactly what the function might be complaining about. regards, tom lane This is fantastic, thanks Tom! It indeed was sloppy plpgsql programming. I didn't know about these extra arguments of RAISE making it possible to fine-tune the error-report from triggers. Very nice and thanks again for making me look the right place. -- Andreas Joseph Krogh CTO / Partner - Visena AS Mobile: +47 909 56 963 andr...@visena.com <mailto:andr...@visena.com> www.visena.com <https://www.visena.com> <https://www.visena.com>
