> "TABLE blah DID NOT EXIST" might be less confusing... You're confusing a command tag with a notice. In the first place, we shouldn't assume that applications are ready to deal with indefinitely long command tags (the backend itself doesn't think they can be longer than 64 bytes); in the second place, they should be constant strings for the most part so that simple strcmp()s suffice to see what happened. Command tags are meant for programs to deal with, more than humans. 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
