Right, that's because they are in errmessage() and not errdetail(). The guidelines are different. (The reason they are different really escapes me, but you have to note that (1) Peter invented them, and (2) this grammatical difference always make sense when you read the logs.) -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.PlanetPostgreSQL.org/ "There is evil in the world.
