 Quite apart from any other reason, the Sir does seem a bit sexist - we
 have no idea of the gender of the reader. Probably just 'sorry, no rewrite
 allowed' would suffice.

 This seems pointless tinkering to me.  Should I start introducing female
 pronouns in test error messages, to measure how much this will annoy my
 male conterparts?  This is not a user visible message in any case.

I'm with Andrew.  Aside from any question of sexism, which I do not
discount, the capitalization is wrong.

[HACKERS] event trigger test exception message

2015-01-04 Thread Andrew Dunstan


I don't wish to seem humorless, but I think this should probably be changed:

root/HEAD/pgsql/src/test/regress/sql/event_trigger.sql:248:  RAISE 
EXCEPTION 'I''m sorry Sir, No Rewrite Allowed.';

rewrite allowed' would suffice.


(Noticed while looking at buildfarm failures.)

cheers

We should change it to, I'm sorry.  I can't do that.
