expression_tree_walker is used in enough different places that you can't really modify that like this. It'll have too many side effects that may not be good. Generally, the way to stick some useful information into the error message is with an error context callback, rather than by appending to the primary error message. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
