Actually, there's an easier and cleaner way to do the whole thing: replace the handwritten management of xml_errmsg with a StringInfo buffer allocated in TopMemoryContext, so that it never goes away after having been first created. I'll go fix that. What I'm wondering about is why this printout is emitted as a separate DEBUG message ... wouldn't it be better to incorporate it as the DETAIL field of the error message? regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 9: In versions below 8.0, the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not match
