I think I understand what you mean.
please check attached for changes within ATPrepAlterColumnType

I agree this is confusing.

while looking at 0002:
errmsg("conflicting NO INHERIT declarations for not-null constraints
on column \"%s\"", column->colname)
add parser_errposition
will not be very helpful. i think we need an errhint.

for example:
create table notnull_tbl_fail (a int primary key constraint foo not
null no inherit);
ERROR:  conflicting NO INHERIT declarations for not-null constraints
on column "a"
the error message didn't explicitly say that the primary key imply a
not-null inherit constraint.

Maybe we can change to
errmsg("conflicting NO INHERIT declarations for not-null constraints
on column \"%s\"", column->colname),
errhint("specified primary key or identity sequence imply an inherited
not-null constraint will be created")

what do you think?

Subject: [PATCH v13 1/1] add error position for ATPrepAlterColumnType
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8

within ATPrepAlterColumnType, for various
ereport(ERROR...), add parser_errposition for printing out the error position.
