Hi, It seems there's no way to do %-expansion in plpgsql when one is using RAISE USING:
alvherre=# create or replace function f () returns void language plpgsql as $$ begin raise using message = 'hello %' || 'world'; return; end; $$; CREATE FUNCTION alvherre=# select f(); ERROR: hello %world I would like the % to be expanded to some argument, but obviously there's no way to pass the arguments that it should expand to. We could do something like RAISE USING message = 'hello %st %', args = 1, 'world' but this is obviously going to be difficult, if not impossible, to implement in the grammar. Perhaps RAISE USING message = 'brave %st %', args = (1, 'world') Thoughts? -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ The PostgreSQL Company - Command Prompt, Inc. -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
