- This section describes the fields that can appear in ErrorResponse and
- NoticeResponse messages. Each field type has a single-byte identification
- token. Note that any given field type should appear at most once per
- message.
- </p><div class="variablelist"><dl class="variablelist"><dt><span class="term">
- <code class="literal">S</code>
- </span></dt><dd><p>
- Severity: the field contents are
- <code class="literal">ERROR</code>, <code class="literal">FATAL</code>, or
- <code class="literal">PANIC</code> (in an error message), or
- <code class="literal">WARNING</code>, <code class="literal">NOTICE</code>, <code class="literal">DEBUG</code>,
- <code class="literal">INFO</code>, or <code class="literal">LOG</code> (in a notice message),
- or a localized translation of one of these. Always present.

- Severity: the field contents are
- <code class="literal">ERROR</code>, <code class="literal">FATAL</code>, or
- <code class="literal">PANIC</code> (in an error message), or
- <code class="literal">WARNING</code>, <code class="literal">NOTICE</code>, <code class="literal">DEBUG</code>,
- <code class="literal">INFO</code>, or <code class="literal">LOG</code> (in a notice message).
- This is identical to the <code class="literal">S</code> field except
- that the contents are never localized. This is present only in
- messages generated by <span class="productname">PostgreSQL</span> versions 9.6
- and later.
- </p></dd><dt><span class="term">
- <code class="literal">C</code>
- </span></dt><dd><p>
- Code: the SQLSTATE code for the error (see <a class="xref" href="errcodes-appendix.html" title="Appendix A. PostgreSQL Error Codes">Appendix A</a>). Not localizable. Always present.
- </p></dd><dt><span class="term">
- <code class="literal">M</code>
- </span></dt><dd><p>
- Message: the primary human-readable error message.
- This should be accurate but terse (typically one line).
- Always present.
- </p></dd><dt><span class="term">
- <code class="literal">D</code>
- </span></dt><dd><p>
- Detail: an optional secondary error message carrying more
- detail about the problem. Might run to multiple lines.
- </p></dd><dt><span class="term">
- <code class="literal">H</code>
- </span></dt><dd><p>
- Hint: an optional suggestion what to do about the problem.
- This is intended to differ from Detail in that it offers advice
- (potentially inappropriate) rather than hard facts.
- Might run to multiple lines.
- </p></dd><dt><span class="term">
- <code class="literal">P</code>
- </span></dt><dd><p>
- Position: the field value is a decimal ASCII integer, indicating
- an error cursor position as an index into the original query string.
- The first character has index 1, and positions are measured in
- characters not bytes.
- </p></dd><dt><span class="term">
- <code class="literal">p</code>
- </span></dt><dd><p>
- Internal position: this is defined the same as the <code class="literal">P</code>
- field, but it is used when the cursor position refers to an internally
- generated command rather than the one submitted by the client.
- The <code class="literal">q</code> field will always appear when this field appears.
- </p></dd><dt><span class="term">
- <code class="literal">q</code>
- </span></dt><dd><p>
- Internal query: the text of a failed internally-generated command.
- This could be, for example, a SQL query issued by a PL/pgSQL function.
- </p></dd><dt><span class="term">
- <code class="literal">W</code>
- </span></dt><dd><p>
- Where: an indication of the context in which the error occurred.
- Presently this includes a call stack traceback of active
- procedural language functions and internally-generated queries.
- The trace is one entry per line, most recent first.
- </p></dd><dt><span class="term">
- <code class="literal">s</code>
- </span></dt><dd><p>
- Schema name: if the error was associated with a specific database
- object, the name of the schema containing that object, if any.
- </p></dd><dt><span class="term">
- <code class="literal">t</code>
- </span></dt><dd><p>
- Table name: if the error was associated with a specific table, the
- name of the table. (Refer to the schema name field for the name of
- the table's schema.)
- </p></dd><dt><span class="term">
- <code class="literal">c</code>
- </span></dt><dd><p>
- Column name: if the error was associated with a specific table column,
- the name of the column. (Refer to the schema and table name fields to
- identify the table.)
- </p></dd><dt><span class="term">
- <code class="literal">d</code>
- </span></dt><dd><p>
- Data type name: if the error was associated with a specific data type,

- name of the data type's schema.)
- </p></dd><dt><span class="term">
- <code class="literal">n</code>
- </span></dt><dd><p>
- Constraint name: if the error was associated with a specific
- constraint, the name of the constraint. Refer to fields listed above
- for the associated table or domain. (For this purpose, indexes are
- treated as constraints, even if they weren't created with constraint
- syntax.)
- </p></dd><dt><span class="term">
- <code class="literal">F</code>
- </span></dt><dd><p>
- File: the file name of the source-code location where the error
- was reported.
- </p></dd><dt><span class="term">
- <code class="literal">L</code>
- </span></dt><dd><p>
- Line: the line number of the source-code location where the error
- was reported.
- </p></dd><dt><span class="term">
- <code class="literal">R</code>
- </span></dt><dd><p>
- Routine: the name of the source-code routine reporting the error.
- </p></dd></dl></div><div class="note"><h3 class="title">Note</h3><p>
- The fields for schema name, table name, column name, data type name, and
- constraint name are supplied only for a limited number of error types;
- see <a class="xref" href="errcodes-appendix.html" title="Appendix A. PostgreSQL Error Codes">Appendix A</a>. Frontends should not assume that
- the presence of any of these fields guarantees the presence of another
- field. Core error sources observe the interrelationships noted above, but
- user-defined functions may use these fields in other ways. In the same
- vein, clients should not assume that these fields denote contemporary
- objects in the current database.
- </p></div><p>
- The client is responsible for formatting displayed information to meet its
- needs; in particular it should break long lines as needed. Newline characters
- appearing in the error message fields should be treated as paragraph breaks,
- not line breaks.
