Well, plan B would be to invent a replacement function that does have the ability to return an error message, but that seems like a lot of work for a problem that's so marginal that it wasn't noticed till now. (It's not so much creating the function that worries me, it's fixing clients to use it.) Plan C would be to redefine bogus value of PGSERVICE as not an error, period. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
