This is currently the same as the condition name, so it doesn't add any value, only clutter.

<para>
|
|
All messages emitted by the <productname>PostgreSQL</productname>
|
|
server are assigned five-character error codes that follow the SQL
|
|
standard's conventions for <quote>SQLSTATE</> codes. Applications
|
|
that need to know which error condition has occurred should usually
|
|
test the error code, rather than looking at the textual error
|
|
message. The error codes are less likely to change across
|
|
<productname>PostgreSQL</> releases, and also are not subject to
|
|
change due to localization of error messages. Note that some, but
|
|
not all, of the error codes produced by <productname>PostgreSQL</>
|
|
are defined by the SQL standard; some additional error codes for
|
|
conditions not defined by the standard have been invented or
|
|
borrowed from other databases.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
According to the standard, the first two characters of an error code
|
|
denote a class of errors, while the last three characters indicate
|
|
a specific condition within that class. Thus, an application that
|
|
does not recognize the specific error code can still be able to infer
|
|
what to do from the error class.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
<xref linkend="errcodes-table"> lists all the error codes defined in
|
|
<productname>PostgreSQL</productname> &version;. (Some are not actually
|
|
used at present, but are defined by the SQL standard.)
|
|
The error classes are also shown. For each error class there is a
|
|
<quote>standard</> error code having the last three characters
|
|
<literal>000</>. This code is used only for error conditions that fall
|
|
within the class but do not have any more-specific code assigned.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
The symbol shown in the column <quote>Condition Name</quote> is also
|
|
the condition name to use in <application>PL/pgSQL</>. Condition
|
|
names can be written in either upper or lower case. (Note that
|
|
<application>PL/pgSQL</> does not recognize warning, as opposed to error,
|
|
condition names; those are classes 00, 01, and 02.)
