Right now I'm getting results like this: regression=# \set VERBOSITY verbose regression=# set client_min_messages TO debug1; SET regression=# select '<foo><zit'::xml; DEBUG: 00000: Entity: line 1: parser error : Couldn't find end of Start Tag zit line 1 <foo><zit ^ Entity: line 1: parser error : Premature end of data in tag foo line 1 <foo><zit ^ LOCATION: xml_ereport_by_code, xml.c:685 ERROR: 2200M: could not parse XML data DETAIL: Closing tag not found LOCATION: xml_ereport_by_code, xml.c:857 regression=# select '<?xml><foo><zit'::xml; DEBUG: 00000: dummy.xml:1: parser error : XML declaration allowed only at the start of the document <?xml><foo><zit ^ dummy.xml:1: parser error : ParsePI: PI xml space expected <?xml><foo><zit ^ dummy.xml:1: parser error : ParsePI: PI xml never end ... <?xml><foo><zit ^ dummy.xml:1: parser error : Start tag expected, '<' not found <?xml><foo><zit ^ LOCATION: xml_ereport, xml.c:611 ERROR: 2200M: could not parse XML data DETAIL: Start tag expected, '<' not found. LOCATION: xml_ereport, xml.c:641 regression=# I claim the libxml output is just fine as-is for a DETAIL message, and we could get rid of all the pushups being done in the two versions of xml_ereport to generate a detail message that's really insufficiently detailed anyway. In particular, in any respectable-size chunk of XML I think you'd *really* want some kind of error cursor position, which the libxml output gives you. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
