Hi, I have some complicated query that truncates and fills a table and i get this message: ERROR: smallint out of range STATEMENT: <my huge query> This is in postgres 8.4 I don't know where the error is, and the query takes rather long. So it is going to be a bit cumbersome for me to debug this.
Would it be possible/feasible to specify, in future versions of postgres: * what value * which field (of which table) * the offending tuple? (possibly truncated to some threshold nr of characters) I ask because i can imagine that, inside the code that handles this, you might not have access to that information and adding access to it might be inefficient. I do get the whole query of course, and that is very handy for automated things. But in this case, it doesn't help me.
