Dave E Martin ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) reports a bug with a severity of 3 The lower the number the more severe it is. Short Description misleading (or perhaps confusing) error messages Long Description When an error is generated as the result of a trigger (or other indirect action) it would be helpful if the error message could somehow indicate the trigger was the cause, rather than the executed statement itself. <PRE> for instance: insert into NAS values (...); ERROR: nas_make: Permission denied </PRE> While the error message is technically correct, it tends to leave one scratching one's head, until one remembers or realizes that a trigger was involved. When dealing with a complicated series of statements and/or transactions it may be considerably more difficult to make the required inference from the error message.
