The following bug has been logged online: Bug reference: 5969 Logged by: Daniel Lyons Email address: fus...@storytotell.org PostgreSQL version: 9.0.3 Operating system: FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE Description: ecpg can't see sqlca Details:
Under the current FreeBSD and the current PostgreSQL, ecpg-processed C programs don't see the sqlca global variable. This wreaks havoc with error handling. For example: #include <stdlib.h> #include <stdio.h> EXEC SQL INCLUDE sqlca; int main() { /* stop on any error */ EXEC SQL WHENEVER SQLERROR STOP; /* connect to a non-existent database */ EXEC SQL CONNECT TO nonexistentdb USER nonexistentuser; /* if we get here, something is wrong. */ printf("I'm still here, even though this database doesn't exist.\n"); return 0; } Same program does the right thing on a Linux machine I have access to, so it may be a platform issue. -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs
