PGSQL_DIAG_SQLSTATE (int)

Passed to pg_result_error_field(). The SQLSTATE code for the error. The SQLSTATE code identifies the type of error that has occurred; it can be used by front-end applications to perform specific operations (such as error handling) in response to a particular database error. This field is not localizable, and is always present.

PGSQL_DIAG_INTERNAL_POSITION (int)

Passed to pg_result_error_field(). This is defined the same as the PG_DIAG_STATEMENT_POSITION field, but it is used when the cursor position refers to an internally generated command rather than the one submitted by the client. The PG_DIAG_INTERNAL_QUERY field will always appear when this field appears.

PGSQL_DIAG_INTERNAL_QUERY (int)

Passed to pg_result_error_field(). The text of a failed internally-generated command. This could be, for example, a SQL query issued by a PL/pgSQL function.

PGSQL_DIAG_CONTEXT (int)

Passed to pg_result_error_field(). An indication of the context in which the error occurred. Presently this includes a call stack traceback of active procedural language functions and internally-generated queries. The trace is one entry per line, most recent first.

Passed to pg_set_error_verbosity(). The verbose mode includes all available fields.

PGSQL_ERRORS_SQLSTATE (int)
